Hows he been this season?

Shaw does look very composed when hes on the ball. Another left footed genius :bow:

Struggled a lot. Looks shaky and playing in midfield hasn't helped either. Can only remember 2-3 games he's looked any good. Good squad player but doubt he'll be the long-term solution at LB.

Thought England looked a lot better once Baines came on midweek btw. Ashley ain't the same player any more and hasn't been for ages. Baines offers a lot more and should be first choice.

Butland talk was bullshyt. Papers claimed a Chelsea bid was accepted which Birmingham denied. Total non-story.

Yeah the clubs got to make a decision in the next 12-18 months about Cech and Courtois. Cech could easily play at the top level for another 8-10 years. He's only 30 so coming into his prime as a keeper. Courtois is a beast though and is only 20. Would hate to lose a club legend like Cech but would understand if he is moved on.

If its true that you get Courtois back to loan him to a PL team for a season, I would sell Cech after the World Cup. Its a shame Hunt had to come in and crush his buildings because he would of been even better then he has been. He reminded me of Buffon with the easy and calmness he would make saves.

Most footballers I’ve interviewed have been perfectly pleasant. My problem isn’t with them. In part, I no longer like the game on the field. In my childhood there were barely any live matches on TV. A weekly highlights programme was a highlight of my week. Now that we can watch six live matches every weekend, the secret is out: most football is boring. And the ceaseless flow creates too much repetition. Lionel Messi is the best ever, but now that he’s live on TV 60 times a year, déjà vu encroaches: Messi dribbles past four men and scores, again.

he's got a point there :ehh:

If Atletico are playing Champions League next season it'd be pointless to bring him back here.

He probably wouldn't want to swap that for Premier League either and upsetting him wouldn't be beneficial :whoa: Gotta keep him happy until he signs that extension. :merchant:
