You're right, especially considering where he went. Thought we were their equals at least. Bruce Rioch was another from the 70's that was a choker.
I think that was the first time I realised that the players didn't feel the same about the club as I did! Plus he was a he'll of a full back.You're right, especially considering where he went. Thought we were their equals at least. Bruce Rioch was another from the 70's that was a choker.
We, as a club, have a long history of giving away talented youngsters, such as Gary Cahill, Daniel Johnson, Callum Robinson and Marc Albrighton, not to mention Boaz Myhill and Wayne Hennessay. The two biggest cock ups in my life time have definitely been Danny Blanchflower and George Graham. These are all players that came through our youth set up.
As for Grealish, I don't think he's as good as most fans think. He has tremendous potential but, there is something about him that makes me doubt he will reach that potential. I get the impression he'd be happy being a big fish in a very small pond, rather than at least trying to swim with the biggest fish in the ocean.
Doug since he been gone this club been in freefall

I was upset by the sale of Nathan Baker
I wouldn’t say Baker is “shitebag” but I definitely think he’s championship quality player only. Would probably be ok for us now but he’s only really mediocre. He’s very “last ditch” which isn’t always a great trait as you said usually means poor positioning and poor reading of the game.Wasnt upset at the time and not upset now, shitebag defender and everyone thinks he's great because he 'puts his body on the line'. Thats usually because he's out of position in the first place.
