No! Not at all, my response about Bournemouth was to edna's comment on those particular players that she highlighted (Fraser, King, Wilson, Brooks) being desired by other clubs and that none of our players were. I was merely pointing out to her that those players had been picked up from the...
I started this thread saying that I though we had good players and that they would improve with better coaching, I don't think March, Stephens, Gross or Knockaert have been improved to the top of their ability. Dunk - well he's cut out the silly mistakes I suppose, whether that's down to drawing...
I'm not sure how that's relevant here? I was merely responding to edna's comment that the majority of players she'd listed as decent Bournemouth players had all be bought from the Lower Leagues and improved to the point they were now considered to be decent Premier League players...
I was merely pointing out that the 4 players you'd pointed out previously as sellable assets for Bournemouth had all been signed from lower league clubs (Aberdeen :lolol:) and have been improved through coaching to now be decent Premier League players.
I'll give you Mings - but Jordon Ibe and...
It's an interesting point, but difficult to speculate on as I'd say that our players have been underperforming/not fulfilling potential
At Bournemouth I think Smuggy is really able to improve players from a technical point of view - think about it:
Calum Wilson - signed from League 1 Coventry...
What about someone like Martin Montoya? He's played Champions League football with Lionel Messi for Barcelona, yet at only 28 years old he's looked utterly lost/shite playing for us. Now do you think that's because he's only a Championship player or a player who's form has suffered due to lack...
Or the progression of Brooks compared to Solly March :shrug:
I really hope, whoever the new man in charge is able to help Solly fulfil his potential - most naturally gifted player at the club! Just needs guidance and good coaching to improve his decision making.
I find it kind of baffling how dismissive people are of the quality of our squad!
We have a lot of good players! My personal belief is that they just lacked good enough coaching to develop them into a cohesive team with a tactical plan. Additionally at an individual level I don't think we've...
