And before anyone pops off...TAA is regarded as one of the best right backs in the world.
George Baldock is a better defender than him.

There is not much in it at all. Baldock also passes the eye test in this regard. Its just a shame he doesn't have the incredible other half that makes TAA the best in the world IMO.
Why does that matter? They play for our team, in our system. I'm sure Basham wouldn't fit in another prem side but he's just won POTY here.
Exactly, he doesn't need to. Put him at Right back for Norwich last season and he'd look shite. All depends on the players around you, Berge looked garbage for us first few months, I bet in that DMC role for Man U (in place of Matic), he'd look very very good.To be fair TAA is hardly made to defend.
We once had Short and Curle in the side and could have had Dong upfront.
Didn't we have Bent Dong D'jaffo at one point, or did we just miss out on that unfortunate lack of potency in more ways than one?
Daily Star ?My Forest mate reckons he's coming to the Lane. He was right about both Osborn and Robinson coming to us so he's got history. Won't tell me where he's getting the inside information from though.
Your point made was that they aren’t Premier League players and that’s a fucking ridiculous statement.Exactly the point I was trying to make...albeit not very well....![]()

George and Enda work very, very hard but are not and never will be Premiership quality, (that said, Matty Cash may never be Premiership quality either). They are typical CW signings who have been outstanding for us and work well in our system but at times their technical ability has been seriously lacking, although on others they have been outstanding, (George's goal at Norwich and Enda's v Brighton spring to mind).
Cash fits the CW bill, he has a very good engine and will work very hard. Would he be an upgrade on George? possibly but he is 100% an upgrade on the departing K Freeman. A cynic could say that George played every minute of our campaign last year simply because he had no competition for the shirt, mind you, that could be said for most of the squad!
We desperately need quality strength in depth and competition for shirts. Cash would bring that IMO.
What fucking planet are you on?

There isn’t a better one v one defender at right back in this division than George Baldock
Enda pre lockdown was absolutely awesome
They’d both be even better as full backs for other sides because they wouldn’t be the main source of creativity
Madine in a Harvester off some sort of God forsaken ring road was a good one.Hasn’t anybody spotted him in a boozer talking to Chrissy yet? Or seen his Mrs looking at houses or whatever?
Come on team I need something juicy to kick start this window!!
Remember the blurry picture of Berge? That was class!... especially as it actually turned out to be him!![]()
Indeed.I think there’s a difference between, “Premier League Quality” and “Fashionable, Recognised, Desirable and wanted Premier League Quality” - the same old media darlings that get touted as the next best thing.
This difference only matters when talking about selling our players - what teams will make a bid and how much.
It’s not unreasonable to underprice our players (in the transfer market) if the pundits, the fans, the media and the managers of big clubs simply won’t entertain players from unfashionable clubs.
It doesn’t mean they aren’t PL Quality - just as good as a top six player, or even better, it’s more a case of “not enough media sparkle” to generate a £75 million offer.
Saw him and CW in the botanist last night, apparently cash wanted to come down on Thursday, CW said bollocks to that you can come any day on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and he could meet him anywhere as long as that place was doing 'eat out to help out' CW even said he would cover the billHasn’t anybody spotted him in a boozer talking to Chrissy yet? Or seen his Mrs looking at houses or whatever?

You said they ‘aren’t Premier League players’ you muppetOf course they are PL players, they play in the Premier League....
My opinion is that they wouldn't be as good in other PL sides as they fit our system like a glove......your opinion is different.....nowt "fucking ridiculous" about two differing opinions, although I know you can't stand it when others don't agree with you.![]()
Indeed.
We could flip this up a little and look at fashionable Max Aarons and Jamal Lewis. Both part of one of the worst defensive lines in recent Premier League times (and they were also shocking as a unit in the Championship too).
But for some reason these are media darlings (along with that other chump Godfrey) and look to be commanding fees above 20m!
You're saying the system makes the players, that's the crux of it. That implies that you could basically stick anyone in there and they'd be good enough (I know that's the extreme version of your point).Of course they are PL players, they play in the Premier League....

Basham would struggle (potentially) in a 2 but is more than capable of being a superb RCB in any team that plays 5 at the back. I genuinely can't name 10 CB's I'd rather have in that role. To me that makes him definitively a PL player.
With Baldock, who are the 5 RB's/RWB's in the Premier League you'd rather have? Stevens dropped off after lockdown (hugely, shouldn't have been on the pitch) but pre-that created more chances than any non-Liverpool defender. Only a couple of times all season did he definitively "lose" to his opposite number and one of those was Pereira at Leicester who's as good as anyone.
If you're saying Premier League class is top 2 then fine, they aren't good enough. But who are all these players you think are so much better than them???? The two "superstars" at Norwich were woeful all season but they are being tagged at £10m+ just because they are young. Our players are infinitely superior in any system.
Wilder makes the players better. But it's the players who do the actual work. We are way too quick to dismiss them
£10M seems steep
Shame we didn't think of that under the old chairmanVery good player & would fit our system like a dream , but £10M seems steep but once in the PL side clubs will want a good pay day on their prized assets
