sydneyneil Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Needs to play now. Lacking some fluidity in our front four and he seems to make things happen every time he comes on.

aaron Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 BUT HE REMOVED EVERTON FROM HIS INSTAGRAM! GET HIM playing more often please. So Marco Silva says his attitude has been great since he came in yet some on here were convinced he was a rotten egg who needed to be sold, gone quiet there hasn't it.

Bit of a silly statement considering he's acknowledged he was unsettled due to the transfer rumours and bids over the summer Multiple instances indicated he wasn't happy and wanted out and his performances also suffered hence Boothroyd having a word You can't slate fans who want the best for the club over the interests of a young player who had done little to justify his behaviour/attitude I'm made up he stayed and he's done very well when given the chance and long may it continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I'd agree but he's had moments albeit small ones portray otherwise It was clear as day it all effected him and his attitude him not being happy and a young lad it went hand in hand hence why Boothroyd told him some home truths as it was effecting his performances for the U's As I've said it's a daft statement to make when the lad wanted to leave and the fans rightfully weren't happy with it or how he conducted himself It's not something worth debating as the lads cracked on and looks to be doing well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve already said Palfy, just because he wanted to leave and wasn’t happy at the club, it doesn’t mean he has a bad attitude. I just means he wasn’t happy and wanted to leave. I’m sure we’ve all wanted to leave our jobs before, I know I have, my attitude towards my current job didn’t change. Wanting something different and attitude are not necessarily linked. In September a member of my team found another job, wanted to go, did his best until the last day. I’ve got two colleagues at the moment who both leave on 14th, they are both still doing the job. Attitude doesn’t have to come into it. We seem to think when a footballer wants something else he has an attitude or is ungrateful. Doesn’t make sense to me.

But there were reports of his bad attitude towards supporters, we also witnessed his half hearted performances in pre season basically throwing his dummy out the pram his managers now talk about his change in attitude, so for me he did in have a bad attitude and in some ways down tools, but that's all over now and he seems to have turned the corner and excepted that he is part of the team and in Silvas plans which is what we all want.

The only reports of his attitude was from fans, who are assuming his attitude. He didn’t sign a few autographs and told a few people he wanted to leave. That’s poor behaviour, not attitude. A lot of us will see this different, was the same with Schneiderlin, but might as well move on. London Blue, Bailey and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 A players worth is the price it takes to replace them. You could 1000% profit on a player, but if it costs more than that to replace them.... then it’s bad business. Unless of course they are surplus .

He’s came on the last few games and is an obvious player who can replace Walcott. Vlasic has already failed to make a mark here, honestly don’t think he is good enough. With these points taken into consideration, I would say it would cost money to replace a young English promising talent. I would go as far as betting that the club will see it that way as well. This is reason why they run a premier league team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUnderToff Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yep, has to start over Walcott. He's offering so much more going forward, far cleaner with his touches and more dangerous with his passes. He does seem to hang forward a bit more on defense, but I didn't see Walcott do much more than cover space himself. The team is relatively settled, time to shake things up a little. Start Lookman and challenge him to make it his own, while challenging Walcott to show he deserves it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
