Also played 100+ games for Derby at Championship level, he’s not a raw kid we’ve plucked from nowhere in the way some of our other signings have been, of course it’s a step up but others have come from further back to make it work (e.g. Gomez)
Fair enough, a misreading of the numbers on my part, but the point stands he’s not the absolute youngster many of our signings have been, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect better
While he is indeed a bit older and more experienced than many of the young players we bring in, he also is a CB which along with GK is the positions where PL (and other big league players) have the highest average among the starters. I'd say buying a 23-year-old CB is a bit like buying a 20/21-year-old winger. Yes, its a little late to the party in a game where the most talented teenagers in some positions get to play a fair bit of football at 18-19, but "late bloomers" (if you can call a 23-year-old that) eventually being successful are far from unheard of.
You would have thought that with a chance for your first PL start you would have arrived at breakfast time rather than late.
I'm gonna get the "everyone in Brighton knows everything about everyone"-people up my arse now but I find it highly unlikely, and certainly seen a connection between "bad" players and malicious rumours over the years.
The post in question has been edited to say it was a joke
If you have to tell people it's a joke then it's a pretty shit joke to be honest
If only somebody could invent a Scroll Up Thread feature for the Onsung Phine
Tell it to OP. I’m just clarifying here so that people aren’t misled
The sort of joke that makes Mrs Browns Boys a must see rib tickler sitcom.
Wasn't the exact name of the thread tho something similar. Would have been on April 12th or 13th ie day of or after Leicester game. Nothing to see re Cashin there anyways as the person admitted their post was a joke, albeit a particularly crap one
