....Begovic was the best GK in the championship...Billing scored more goals from midfield than ever before in his career...Lerma often looked head and shoulders above others in games last season...Beat me to it.
Lerma looked head and shoulders above last season? No he didn’t, he really didn’t. Billing scored a few goals so he deserves a move? If they were all as good as you think they wouldn’t have been playing at this level in the first place.....Begovic was the best GK in the championship...Billing scored more goals from midfield than ever before in his career...Lerma often looked head and shoulders above others in games last season...
...christ they couldn't be expected on their own to get us promotion!
Lerma looked head and shoulders above last season? No he didn’t, he really didn’t.
Personally, at the start of the season when he was played higher up i thought he was outstanding. Strangely, we then changed that approach and he suffered
Yes, it was almost like Billing and Lerma were both more effective in the more forward role. So effectively, once this position became a thing, we had two players fighting over it and Billing ended up getting the nod.was going to say that, looked amazing at start of season then became a more average as the season progressed (when he was deployed more defensively again).
It’s an interesting one, depending on whether we are prepared to make a loss on him or not, you’d imagine a deal would be hard to do as not sure Valencia would offer close to what we paid for him. I can see him leaving on loan tbh.Would anyone want him for a decent amount with his outstanding suspension and disciplinary record?
Maybe not if he’s going to a Spanish club lol....but doesn't your conspiracy theory mean any players leaving aren't in Spain? If he is leaving surely he'd be at DC with Cook....
Completely agree with you. Not just that but he is also our fittest, strongest, and probably our best player, in his prime. I would imagine that a new manager tasked with getting us back into the Premier League, and having been giving sufficient promises to tempt him to come here, would share your view and do everything he could to keep him here.I for one would love to keep Jeff, he's a class act, box to box and massively underestimated
He appears to have tagged himself in Valencia on Instagram this morning. View attachment 6114

Yes, he definitely seems to be involved with them commercially in some regard.Check out the baseball caps. Jota Jota foods are based in Valencia and Coexito is one of their brand names. I don’t understand all these new Interweb thingies, but maybe Jeff is sidelining as an influencer.
BTW ”Coexito” means something like “Together, a great result”. In our case, it might translate better as “Together, out of the Cup”.
but that post in itself is not indicative of anything of a footballing nature going on there.
