Are you suggesting I'm negative?
I try my best to be positive and pragmatic at all times , I just don't see Grimes as an all time great
Are you suggesting I'm negative?We have some negative fans on here. You have to question their reasons for criticism of our players that have worn Sky Blue with such distinction & no little passion this season.
50pts on the horizon at half way !
I don't get it.
Would love Gomez on paper but that injury recordJoe Gomez maybe?
That's fair enough .Im not sure to be honest but would Lampard have signed him in January last year knowing there’s a chance we might go up thinking he’s not good enough for the prem, or would he have made him club captain, there’s arguments each way but its all based on opinion until the facts are confirmed
I think thats the only thing that makes it possible, if he had no injury issues he’d probably be a bigger figure for LiverpoolWould love Gomez on paper but that injury record
I suppose he always has stood out in a worse side, good player but we outgrew himRead this about Sheaf the other day on the Wrexham forum.

With Japan playing England at Wembley next year I would love Tats to get a call up so we can see what he would be like at that level (and maybe even sneak a world cup place) I know it likely wont happen but I want to dream for him.Not all players in the Prem have physicality, in fact some have it less than players in lower leagues
David Silva is one that sticks out in my mind that is 5'7'', pretty lean but up there with one of best midfielders the Prem has seen. That is primarily down to technical ability, so for me if you don't have physical strength you need to be incredibly technical, but have the stamina to maintain the level for 90 mins
With regards to the squad, Sakamoto is the closest to that grade, but not sure about his stamina and obviously technically not the level
Let's be honest, we are going to need at least 10x new players and most of our best starting 11 will either be on the bench or moved on

That's good praise, but even if they're a supporter of 50 years plus, this is a higher level than they've seen their club play at before.Read this about Sheaf the other day on the Wrexham forum.

Steve , was one of my first boyhood favouritesEarnie or Steve?
A special player absolute delight to see him at that time.Steve , was one of my first boyhood favourites
Terry Yorath was here too, he wasn't too rubbish.Earnie or Steve?
Yeah true,the game's definitely moved on yet when I watch the old highlights or whatever they're probably doing similar thing's, remember the 4-2-4?Terry Yorath was here too, he wasn't too rubbish.
You've also got to remember that fitness levels were below those of today and a lot of players were boozers, we can't really tell if those players would have been better if they were around today and looked after themselves.
I'm not that old!Yeah true,the game's definitely moved on yet when I watch the old highlights or whatever they're probably doing similar thing's, remember the 4-2-4?
Maybe I am that old then, I remember Cantwell & Milne being managers.Thought it was Milne could have been Sexton or someone else.
Or modern technical games where on the TV you can see players in defensive shape contract almost into a solid circle and then explode from it.
I remember a home game against Southampton (??) and he got absolutely nailed by one of their players who then berated him on the floor ,Hunt got up and dropped him with a headbutt received a red card and was carted off on a stretcher .A special player absolute delight to see him at that time.
Steve Williams was the Southampton player I think.I remember a home game against Southampton (??) and he got absolutely nailed by one of their players who then berated him on the floor ,Hunt got up and dropped him with a headbutt received a red card and was carted off on a stretcher .
He was a proper player , hard as nails
