Apparently Berahino starting to live up to potential during spell in Belgium That Berahino has a ton of baggage. He was criticised for being lazy in training and got fired from stoke for drink driving. Don't know if a guy like that could handle the pressure that comes playing for us and having the Scottish press on your back constantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard played with Glen Johnson who absolutely slated Berahino along with numerous others. The boys a wrong in and we’d be best staying clear.

I would be shocked if we went near him but wouldn't surprise me if Gerrard thinks he can get a tune out of him since he is English and had a somewhat troubled career.

The Monk 3,207 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I'm still relatively confident we will go for Jordan Ibe, hasn't worked out at all for him at Bournemouth but could be a shrewd signing if we get the best out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he did OK for the purpose he was brought for i.e just filling in here and there. He was never going to be a superstar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,782 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 The biggest problem with Flanagan is that as a player he was the polar opposite of Tav and/or Barisic as a player. A more experienced manager would probably keep him around so we have the option of a “steady eddy“ for certain games and situations but with the way Gerrard/Beale want us to play we really need a back up full back who is more attack minded like Tav/Barisic so that if either of them are out they can just slot in without it hindering the system we play too much.

He's not great but hopeless is a bit OTT ... for the role he brought to the club for, do you honestly think we'll secure that much better than him for someone who's just there to fill in now and again across the back line? because I don't. I'm not making a case in his defence (even if it sounds like it) I just don't know what folk expected from him. Keep hearing his name mentioned in Russia but nothing ever said about the rest of the useless cunts at the back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is; he was never “steady” he’s made a number of absolute clangers far more than Tav or Barisic. When Flanagan was bad we all knew about it he just fell to pieces. He had a number of games where he did appear “steady” but he was never consistent with it, he had just as many absolutely shocking games. I think it was to do with his confidence (the same issue most of our players seem to have). So if he can’t be relied on to be defensively solid and doesn’t provide the attacking outlet that Tav or Barisic do then whats the point of him.

Then he genuinely bursts a gut laughing because he never expected it. I love how they left it in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
