Zain Westbrooke in demand (12 Viewers)

[Briles]

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!

 

[Evo1883]

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

Who was the last?

Jacob Murphy, fans gave him pelters but had around 20 goal contributions for the season

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

Haven't Read anything but he was playing in league 1 for us then went to the Premier league and played 34 matches for Newcastle, hes clearly a talented boy..some of Our fans thought otherwise despite him giving us a fantastic return

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

Don't disrespect Baka like that

According to reports Forest looking at a 2 mil bid for Westbrooke

Forest 'looking to land' £2m midfielder Westbrooke

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."

 

[robbiekeane]

£2m and I’ll give him a lift

 

[Deleted member 2477]

Keep him until the summer. Get promotion the sell if needed

 

[Magwitch]

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

Allen,O’Hare & Jones all ready to fill in

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?

 

[Magwitch]

Allen,O’Hare & Jones all ready to fill in

Do they ? Different types of players and have they completely fitted the bill when Westbrook doesn’t play ?

Westbrooke is playing as Allen was injured he will over take him at some point,westbrooke last few games he’s not been at that level he was at

 

[better days]

With all these things we have to remember Doyler and JCH going out last January
No one saw those moves coming, not even their team mates

Duels won is interesting

Duels won is interesting

What’s interesting about it?

 

[better days]

Duels won is interesting

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

 

[robbiekeane]

Duels won is interesting

Does it count as a duel if he doesn’t even engage

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Does it count as a duel if he doesn’t even engage

Would think so

 

[Skybluefaz]

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.
