If someone had told us at the beginning of the season we would get 2 mil for Westbrooke by Jan everyone would've taken it.

TBH I think Westbrooke is average at best. Lightweight in the tackle and does not have much physicality about him. Energy levels are low after 60 minutes. He is a player with a bit of vision but in my eyes does not command a place ahead of Allen. £2m? Wow if true snaptheir hands off!

Westbrooke would be an extremely good player if he didn't pull out of so many 50/50s... I rate the lad, but also think allen is a better footballer.

If somebody offers good money we should sell, we need the money too

The number of football geniuses slating Murphy was ridiculous.

The home game where he missed the penalty and fans turned on him was an absolute disgrace tbh, it was the most ridiculous abuse honestly

From what I’ve read of his times at West Brom and Sheffield Wednesday he’s had similar there

No club will be offering that much for him. It’s all a PR exercise to increase his profile and try to get a better contract. Another report is calling him the ‘next Maddison’ despite Maddison being a month younger - it’s like calling Bakayoko the next Mbappe

Zain Westbrooke in demand

Boddy has come out and said himself it’s likely agent talk and no bids or enquires have been made for any of our players

But City CEO Dave Boddy has dismissed the latest reports as "January speculation," probably brought about by agents, and insists: "We have had no interest or inquiries from anybody about anybody."

That’s okay if our owner allows Robins to replace him, I won’t hold my breath.

So we’ve gone from someone connected to the club saying it’s all agent talk and there’s no interest in him to being sold?

No one saw those moves coming, not even their team mates

If a young player wants to learn that's possibly one of the easiest things to coach

I disagree, sometimes it's impossible to coach in to young players. It can just be a mindset thing.

Teach them young. Let them know you are there.

“Energy levels low after 60 mins”

Eh? He probably has the best engine at the club. He literally doesn’t stop running, that’s probably his biggest attribute!

Whats this?
Pistols at dawn?
Someone is going to get hurt - perhaps he should challenge Baka to a shoot out on Hearsall Common!

If he does I want to be standing directly in front of Westbrooke when Baka starts firing. Only surefire place to be safe.

This is spot on. People wrongly attribute Shipley to having a great engine cuz he looks fucked after about 20 minutes. If you could track sprints/distance covered, I’d wager Westbrook is comfortably on top. The wingbacks will be close mind.
