Remember who he thought was the best athlete at the club.
Just once to be honest. Looks to have a good mentality i.e. when things didn't go right for him in the first half of that game he played strongly in the second. Never hid. Potential at 6'5 to develop into a dominant CB in the air. But I saw his pace as a concern to play at higher levels.When have you seen Drysdale play? What other attributes does he have?
What a talent you have Danny to be able to look inside someones head and judge their mentality, without even speaking to them!Just once to be honest.

Taxi for Robins....4 seasons in a row now isn't it? I seriously wouldn't be trying to make others look stupid in your shoes.

No one is comparing Drysdale to Busquets ffs. We are saying you don’t need pace to be a CDMPlease don't tell me Sparksy that you are seriously comparing Busquets to Drysdale as a CDM to try to win an argument?
For what it's worth I have seen him play and he's surprisingly fast; top 5-6 by pace in the Barca squad a few years back - although honestly not sure about now.
Anyway pre season on SBT has officially gone crazy.
Disagree but it's an opinion right? I disagree as the elite players referenced are far quicker than might be apparent - someone in my opinion with Drysdale's pace in the Champ at CDM would be a disaster but as always would love to be proven wrong and hope he does prove me wrong. Starting tonight if he's playing CDM!No one is comparing Drysdale to Busquets ffs. We are saying you don’t need pace to be a CDM
I dread to think how we’re going to line up against Forest.Robins has told Boyle Sports that his hopes of landing 2 players within 10 days now look like it will take us longer.
Still ideally wants 4 before the deadline
Sorry but I can't let the Hyam comment go. He proved he is championship level last season. Had a loss of form in the middle if the season but a good start and end to the campaign. Don't go down the gives the ball away line and then laud Ostigard, whose distribution was far worse.I love Kelly. He was instrumental in L2 and L1 promotions. Same as Hyam. But we aren’t in L2 or L1 any more. Plus the hardon meme alone puts him in legend territory.
I think Sheaf can be a Championship Kelly and in his first season he’s shown that. (Minus the hardon)

Thanks for your interest. I watched on i-follow as I was overseas.We’re you in the U.K. then?
But they are still not quick though are they compared to say the attacking players in the team?
I’m guessingI dread to think how we’re going to line up against Forest.

Yes 100% agreed Platty. But pace is relative right - CDMs may not be as fast as the fastest forwards - but they still have to have some serious pace (compared to let's say non-elite players) to operate in that position at that level. Putting the likes of me in there or dare I say it Drysdale without that relative pace would be a disaster against fast nimble attacking midfielders.But they are still not quick though are they compared to say the attacking players in the team?
Round these parts that means you'll get hard if we lose
There are several on here that were adamant we were going down last season ...are you on the wind up or are you genuinely this bleak & glum about everything
Surely he already knows them from his previous stint posting on this forum under his former name?There are several on here that were adamant we were going down last season ...
You will get to know the names soon enough as it will be the same this year too

How miserable - We’ll still put out a decent team v Forest who aren’t exactly that great to be honest….wimpy statement

No. I evidenced what he did on the pitch on his debut. Very shaky first half, didn't hide at all, recovered second. So in answer to what I saw as his attributes I see that as a positive.What a talent you have Danny to be able to look inside someones head and judge their mentality, without even speaking to them!
Rose and Hyam have missed the majority of pre-season and Maatsen hasn’t even signed yet. No guarantees any of them are available for the Forest game.I’m guessing
Moore, Dabo, Hyam, McFadz, Rose, Maatsen Hamer, Sheaf, O’Hare, Waghorn, Gyokeres
it’s not that bad
It’s not an opinion it’s a fact you don’t need pace to play there. Jorginho who’s just won the Euros has no paceDisagree but it's an opinion right?

Yea Makelele wasn't the fastest , but he was fucking outrageously good
