Reply | Out of contract (again)
at 11:42 6 Feb 2025
Notwithstanding that it may be due to returning from injury, Cook looked a bit lost vs Blackburn and looked nervous on the ball. He was overshadowed by the way Edwards played the role so I may be being a bit harsh on him. He made a magnificent header towards the end of the game but but the rest was very much a 6/10 performance and it never impresses me when he makes a mistake and rather than hold his hand up he starts pointing and blaming a teammate. If his and Colback's reported wages are correct I don't think their future with the club should be pursued as we will be needing reserves to offer improved contracts to those youngsters who fulfil their promise and need to be tied down on longer, improved contracts so we can at least receive decent transfer fees for them when & if they leave.
Somebody mentioned above that if Paal leaves we might end up looking back and thinking he wasn't as bad as we all said. He is technically very good and suited to the fast, one touch passing out of defence, witness the spell where he, Saito, Chair and occasionally Morgan were ripping through Rovers midfield at will. That sort of full back play was way above most players we have had in the past in that position, except maybe Assou-Ekotto, His set piece delivery is also superior to others ATM and the Weds. game corners seemed to be a directive to hit the ball short (and lose possession) compared to previous games where he was hitting them to the back post/ 6 yard box with great success.
I wonder if his biggest critics are those who only see him on streams and not live as, albeit not faultless, his performances are almost always 7/10 or better since November. |

He shows a lot more enthusiasm for joining in with Hi Ho Silver Lining. He, along with Varane, love joining when we win. |

and out fought by the likes of Chair, Morgan, Saito and Paal all night. Looking at the Rovers message board, their fans were unimpressed by him too. He didn't appear to have ny guile to his game and last night, brute force wasn't cutting it. |

I jumped into a taxi in Colorado being driven by a Grizzly bear. My big mistake was shouting "Mall please" to it. |

I'm curious as to what you thought the "Dunne Off" thread was going to be about. |

it was more to shoehorn in the Damascene moment line.
His comments do speak volumes about how our attractiveness as a club is to other players.
Let's hope he is more Ray Wilkins/ John Hollins Chelse than perhaps Gary Chivers. |

Exeter seemed to have a plan to stop him scoring by doubling up on him, it just released others into the spaces. |

Anti Zionist NOT anti Semitic, just about the only only Semites in that area are the Palestinians.
Type "Israeli funding of the UK Labour party" in to a search engine and prepare to sit down for a few hours to read through the results. Israel practically owns the PLP. |

He has demonstrated that he knows where the back of the net is at that level and I saw that he was heavily marked in his last which ended up with Orient scoring six and Charlie not on the score sheet. Questions have to be asked about that tactic.
I doubt he would be getting a fortune if he was to resign and he has the feel of one we would regret if we did let him go. Tricky one. |
