Mostly, fans get it right. Jury remains out with Lyanco, that is for sure. I recall friends being lambasted for deriding the signing of Carrillo. Some believed he was just what we needed, despite no evidence to support that. As said, it happens. Edited 14 November, 2021 by AlexLaw76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people wrote off Valery at the beginning - he's definitely going to prove everyone wrong by being brilliant any day now right? I think that's how it works.

He averaged a goal Every other games or something (if you take out games where he didn’t start, played less than 30 minutes wore the number 9, 13 or 27 shirt etc) . Carillo looked a shite signing and so it proved despite our forum experts telling us to the contrary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyanco does have a way to go to be proven as decent, and he was, by any measure an underwhelming signing on face value. However that performance he produced v Chelsea stamped him as a very decent CB prospect - you can't fluke a performance like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserableoldgit Posted 14 November, 2021 Share Posted 14 November, 2021 I seem to remember that when we were about to sign Jhon Viafara the the general reaction on here was very negative, I also seem to remember that he became something of a terrace favourite in the end. It's a bit old-fashioned I know (but then I am a Miserableoldgit with the emphasis on the "old"), but I like to think that the management/recruitment staff have done their homework, and then watch the new players play in the team before making my mind up.

Clue: they wouldn't be sneeringly describing it as "nothing of note". Amazing contribution. At least he got an entire half in one of those matches and scored the 4th goal in a match already won when brought on for the last half-hour in another. Only got 2 mins in one and I honestly felt he was a waste of a sub in the final. You thought he had an amazing tournament, some of us think we would have been better served with other options. He really wasn't anything special. As for Lyanco, like you I was somewhat underwhelmed with his signing and also thought we should have gone for someone who could walk straight into the first team. I didn't write him off though (not saying you did) as I prefer to actually watch a player before making a judgement of him (although it was clearly obvious before we signed him that Carrillo was going to be a flop). It seems Ralph did know what he was doing re our defence and Lyanco looks to be a better player than many at first thought. I really hope he does come good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 14 November, 2021 Share Posted 14 November, 2021 Henderson was a waste of a squad place and clearly unfit to play any sort of important role. I actually thought he made the team much worse in the final as he clearly couldn't keep up with play. JWP was unlucky to miss out for him and whilst might not have played a big role either, at least he could if needed played a full 90 mins and been fully match fit to take part if needed. Really Southgate should have trusted Bellingham more to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume it was a temporary voluntary deactivation of the account. He returned to Twitter last night with the protective measures you mention, also having deleted the replies to fans that got him in trouble.

Dusic Posted 22 May, 2022 Share Posted 22 May, 2022 Good socials but awful player. Poor signing. Had all the red flags at the time: no English, in and out of a poor team, erratic playing style.
