Outgoing? Peck

[Wilderat Heart]

Yet there are still those who think he's reached his potential/is over rated/not as good as Arblaster.

I said pre-Christmas, Peck would be playing in the PL next season...

Maybe if he hadn't gone missing in.the play off final. Looked to.me that the occasion was too big for him. For me Arblaster has a higher ceiling but who knows if he comes back as good as he was. Certainly I think he's better going forward than Peck. I think a premier league club would want more goal threat than Peck currently has. I hope both have really good careers.

Sadly it's a huge IF as Blaster and Davies are always injured.

Without wanting to sound right out of the Adkins playbook, Peck has got the best ability out of the four of them - availability!

Interesting points you raise. The biggest differentiator for me (and I'm guessing most/all PL sides) is that Peck looks a much better athlete.

We've seen from our last two PL season, CMs now have to be 6ft+ and built like decathletes...

I still think with better players and better coaching, Peck will find that goal scoring threat.

Aye
Whilst semantically accurate (since 10 November), describing OA as “always injured’ seems a tad harsh.
Equally it could be said he’s ’only’ had 1 injury , (for us) albeit of 7 months (& counting) duration.

Add to that both his (substantial) injury absences have been ‘incident’ specific so to equate him with the ‘chronically’ fragile Davies is disingenuous
NB - not a dig @ TD who, if able to achieve / maintain a level of (fairly) consistent availability could /,would be a considerable attribute, which, as has been said, significantly mitigates any ‘loss’ of Peck
