I appreciate what Kents done but he's not been performing now there are a few players like that. There is no doubt he has gone stale, same can be said for Morelos and Kamara. I think for non-Scottish players, probably about 3 years is the maximum you will get before they start to get itchy feet and want/need to move on to pastures new. In hindsight, we should have sold them after the League win in 2001 and didn’t qualify for the CL. (Good thing is them over the city are going to start to have the same problem in the next year or two with all their imports).

They’d achieved everything they were ever going to up here. Skill of a good manager to identify these players, cash in on them and keep the freshness. Scary how much they can drop off when they don’t care. As you said I’m sure their manager and guys like CCV and Jota will be eyeing up moves next year Ibroxholm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would be a safe, if unspectacular option. He does appear to have a clanger in him though, which would worry me somewhat. If he is demanding £30k+ a week, then its a hell of a price if it does not work out and we find him hard to shift. We go for some up and coming keeper on lower wages, and you run the risk of him turning out not to be a safe pair of hands and we are in the same sort of position we have been this year, with little confidence in your keeper. plymouthranger and NorthernLights 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
