Not even 2 season ago either.
I'd play Grimes in a similar position and dropping in less.
O'Hare was our last real ball winner. Hes always looked a bit scrappy, but always had a knack for coming out of 50-50s with the ball and finding a pass. Its something we've really lacked since hes gone. Under pressure he'd be the type to pick the ball up on the edge of our box, scrappily carry it 45 yards and win a free kick on the edge of theirs. Always looked clumsy doing it, but just found a way of coming away with the ball somehow still at his feet.
if it were bta esse emc haji it would be better
Thats slightly hyperbolic to be fair.

If you’d like, I can also summarise:
- How Brentford fans view him
- His statistical impact at Augsburg
- Whether Augsburg might pursue a permanent deal (based on reporting)
Unsure what glazing means
More often than not, the CHs and full backs play to Grimes who plays the pass out of midfield. People saying Onyeka is shit at passing is pointless. We need tenacity. Away from home and in games we're leading and struggling to hold on to. In a double pivot, all he has to do is help the defence, win the ball, lay it off on a short pass to Grimes. Even Onyeka can win a tackle and sideways pass 10 yards to Grimes surely? You dont manage 3 seasons in the PL and over 40 intl caps for being dogshit. Honestly, the things people on here will turn their noses up at just to look edgy or ITK is astonishing!
I struggle to believe that
Exactly we need someone who can just have the energy to keep winning the ball.
Didn't saddle say nothing would happen this side of Millwall. He's been away in the afcon cup so that adds up
Any player who’s been at AFCON won’t be finalising a move straight away. It’s no different to post-Euros and World Cup.
No, he said after Millwall and probably before Norwich but nothing definite
Apologies. Misread nothing for something
No I get that but the only source being the daily mail is the worry. Be happier if some other source confirmed it as well tbh
Looks quite decent on the ball, he has an eye for a goal and he can tackle, what am I missing?
Stop believing people who make stuff up lol it’s embarrassing
Id rather no sources confirmed it apart from the club announcing his signing
Personally, I can't see it. here are some stats:
A bit like a Lloyd McGrath then, who helped win us the FACup as part of a beautifully balanced skillfull and tough team.
Welcome to the dark side
Yeah, but if we're not careful, we could end up with a bunch of Louzas
Really?
Ditto
Blunts are skint. We'll take both and they'll phone Doug to say thank you for saving their wage bill.
Cabbage face might even crack a smile
Wilder is very vocal if it looks like they will get 'good' players in, but because of their position in the league they aren't an attractive choice at present, and he has basically admitted he can't get him.
