No.2. GK's seem to have a canny knack of extending their career far long than their ability warrants. I think eventually they get found out pretty quickly though once they're called upon.

Hardly a surprise he's signed for Stratford Town. He was nowhere near the standard required of league football.

A rare Robbins complete blooper?

Just been reading that idiot Waggott talking about Armstrong and the value of £30 million and what would be the point in selling as it would only go towards covering operating losses but I bet they are one of the first clubs with the begging bowl out if any cash comes from the prem

There needs to be some sort of rule that means Prem clubs have to loan out their decent younger players who can’t get near the first team to EFL clubs and foot the wages. Some of them may already do this but the EFL needs some bailing out. Doubt Prem clubs will do it with cash.

At the moment you have to pay a fee to get some of them so it would be a big change

I know but any common sense way of thinking would say filter it down the leagues but the “top 6 or 8” (bullshit term for the big clubs) will never do that.

from the bits I have seen this guy must have a great agent to have kept him in the pro game until 23

It’s a numbers game, small outlay on a bunch of players to find “the one”. Sheaf, Pask, Dabo, O’Hare all at big Premier League clubs until 21/22

The best example is Luke Garbutt who was contracted to Everton until this summer. He’s 27 and signed for Blackpool

That'd be a decent compromise for this situation. It's indirect aid by cutting wage bills and the big clubs will benefit from it long term. Would need the EFL to relax the loans in matchday squad rules though.

Of course for it to be effective with costs it'd mean very loan heavy squads in the EFL which long term would leave teams without a strong core of contracted players.

Oggy rates Lee Burge

One that passed me by but Nathan Cameron signed for Wigan in September, played 2 games and has now been released.

Speaking of which I saw burge was on bench for Sunderland at weekend has he been dropped?

If you could keep him on trial permanently he would be great it seems to be an issue once he gets a contract.

True hope he sorts his head out soon such a waste of talent

Good goal by Hiwula against king's Lynn today. FA Cup: Portsmouth beat King's Lynn 6-1 to reach third round - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55072377

Up there technically with the bestI’ve seen for us in the last decade. Almost carried a very average team to the play offs single handedly, shame because he clearly can’t be arsed.

Tom Bayliss came off the bench for Preston yesterday.

He's had more loans than a library book as well. It's pretty ridiculous.

I thought he was decent here

He must be thinking maybe it’s not going to happen for me here? He must have had a good life been in the first team squad for 7 years for his 7 games

Seems to be the Everton way doesn't it?

For the record I'd still take bright in a heartbeat

Robins is the only manager who got a tune out of him but I wouldn’t risk the team harmony by bringing him in.

Bright’s ship has sailed. He blew it. He moved on...and so should we.

Did the same with Bassala Sambou. He thought he was too good for us, wonder if he regrets that.
