A Ben Slimane

[AWetFlannel]

Happy for him. Should we be worried about how much better our players look playing for other clubs? Slimane, McBurnie, Moore, Brewster, RND, Berge...

Don't agree.

Mcburnie looked a top Championship player for us, Slimani never got a chance at this level, Brewster looked decent when fit, RND was fantastic under Hecky. Think it applies to Moore, but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

Players rarely play at one consistent level throughout their careers, Berge has certainly improved and been given a limited role at Fulham.

Mcburnie had a 43 game goal drought for us in the Championship

And then he fired us to promotion, on top of a good amount of solid appearances in the PL. All players come in and out of form.

Yep, very streaky player

Berge?

We played Berge as a right sided midfielder who was expected to run all game, a choice we made to accommodate Oli Norwood. He was when we signed him, and still is, an excellent #6 (deep lying midfielder) but I don't think we ever really played him there.

He didn't, he may well have gone 43 games without a goal but that would have been across 3 seasons, back end of Premier league, full injury hit season in championship where he played less than 30 games and 5 or 6 games at start of new season before scoring ,

We played him there a few times and he looked a bit lost. He took too many touches and got caught in possession.

 

[Champagneblade]

I think the point is relatively simple: almost three full seasons after buying him, he now looks comfortable at the level below which we needed him.

Don’t think you can have much seller’s remorse from that sort of transaction.

Meanwhile, we as a club have been in a position higher than him all the while.

From a personal perspective it’s good to see a player we brought to this country doing well. But when you look at the likes of Peck, Riedewald, Hamer and O’Hare, we’ve done alright in his absence.

Yet he plays that week in, week out for Fulham with good players around him and isn’t expected to do everything and he looks good. Weird that.

He’s a top player and as I remember,we hardly played him in the role he plays at Fulham,I also remember him coming back playing with Burnley in that quarter back position and he absolutely ran the show,pity our brain dead supporters booed him relentlessly. What a bunch of shameless pricks that follow us sometimes.
