Strutting in with a gold chain like he was on a cat walk giving it the chewing gum mularky. I really can't stand his swagger. Sometimes people have swagger and other times people think they do... I'm leaning towards the latter category for Holgate right now. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Has he always looked so old or is he stressed by us all being cunts about him (mostly justified by his performances). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a fan if he can turn it around and drop the superstar complex. Up until last year he looked a promising young player. If he can get his attitude straight… I believe he can still end up a top player. London Blue, MikeO and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 He has the talent, and the physical assets to be a top top player, its just that bit between the ears. I think a no nonsense manager like Rafa can help take him down a peg or two and get his mentality right. Matt and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has an attitude problem tho, believes his own hype, just needs sorting out to be a very good player. markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this season he grounds himself. Pickford has become the example he needs to follow. Would love to see Godfrey & Holgate both become quality players and feature heavily for us and england.

There is definitely more to come from Godfrey but I can’t see Holgate getting much better, hopefully Rafa will prove me wrong but Holgate has done nothing in the last couple of seasons to prove there’s better to come.

His leap isn't anything exceptional. He is not significantly faster than Keane or Mina. The one asset that he has over the other defenders is his agility (bar Godfrey) 7 hours ago, Btay said: Pace is not an issue with him. Could be a bit stronger but physically no issues with him.

I am not saying he is slow. I am just saying his physical attributes that are not at the level to make him a "top top player". His physical stats are average, and he is average.

Lets not spread it on to other threads in the forum. I think you may have misunderstood - I'm not adding anything together, I'm just wondering what in the world is going on, and hoping for all I am worth that none of this actually occurred, for the sake of any/all of our players, and the other parties that may be involved. And on a much less relevant matter, wondering how the distractions affect our pre-season, especially with the Florida Cup looking at risk as it is.

Apparently it's because he's not happy with how the club handled the release of the statement surrounding suspending a player. It led to him getting some abuse with people thinking it could be him. Not sure what else the club could have done because the player in question obviously can't be named. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
