We can’t carry on giving him a contract because he’s an academy player and he has long blonde hair. It must be the same people who offered Jose Baxter a 12 month contract after he was released by Sheff Utd. That season he hardly played for the 23s through injury and Unsworth offered him another 12 month contract. It was Jose’s own dignity that rejected it. He knew himself he wasn’t worth it. Tom should do the same. Watch Jose’s latest podcast on YouTube - I kid you not Kenwright and Unsworth were throwing out contracts for fun.

Very very worrying he’s not very good at CB. Probably the worst player under Rafa in terms of previous performances under Ancelotti. He’s been dreadful all season

He’s way way out of his depth.

He was involved/at fault for 4 of their goals. He’s out of his depth. Just admit it….. he’s very very poor at this level.

Awful decision making in front of goal there. Agree he’s a player lacking confidence but that’s because he’s playing in the wrong league. A career in the championship would be best suited at this present time

Let’s not get away from the fact he’s actually crap though lads ey?

Watched him at West Brom & Newcastle. He’s Victor Anichebe MK2 (when fit). Average at his best but will get a goal here and there. I wasn’t expecting anything else tbh squad filler.

I’ve held back from raising concerns about his performances over the past 18-24months because there is/was a really really top player in there. But you can’t get a pass because of reputation. Lucas Digne has been very very poor for a long time and today’s performance was shocking

Gray

Oh no

Few people need to eat humble pie here. He looks a willing player. I’d much rather have him & his work rate than a Sigurdsson, Kean and alike. Brilliant goal & all around performance from him tonight

Townsend was brilliant. What a tactical switch. Burnley didn’t know what hit them. Well done Rafa.

He reminds me of Rom

Not a signing to inspire but a good solid backup with Premiership experience should DCL get injured.

12 months ago if you told me next seasons signings would be Begovic, Rondon, Townsend and Grey I’d have laughed my head off. On paper very underwhelming. However the last few years have been big payments on relatively poor signings (aside from last season which was good IMO). So maybe going back to the bargain basement is what we needed. Lets see how this pans out!
