Leyther_Matt Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Each to their own, but ask yourself why he has to make so many of those heroic recoveries that he specialises so much in. We need to be thinking in terms of which players can do a job in the Championship and I just don’t think he’s the man for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter if he consistently makes them? Its the same criticism that moonmen levelled at gardner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he takes risks, he steps out from the back line, he’s Quick enough to try and get momentum into the middle of the park, he relies on his his speed and strength, he’s the ideal defender for IE and his football. If santos isn’t good enough for the championship then we don’t have many players that are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Keep em both. 2 or 3 million isn't moneyball is it. Can also see us cashing in on one so we can rebuild. Happy either way so long as we get fair value if they are sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve improved with each transfer window and I’d say improving the defence is very much at the top of that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit difficult to make a judgement like that without studying hours of footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Santos has won Player’s Player award so I’m happy to concede that they know more than I do and I’m talking bollocks. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Actions speak louder than words but I don't mind hearing this from Dapo: "We want to be playing in the Championship and the Premier League and that’s what for me especially as a player, that’s what I look up to and that’s what I want to do and I want to do it with this club." https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bolton-wanderers-dapo-afolayan-promotion-23920451 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what I want to read, but I'm also enjoying the ride we are on, it's been fun under the current owners and manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesince63 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Yes, it’s certainly better than the duplicitous comments emanating from certain scouse individuals under Bruce!! I’m sure they’re happy here but we all know money talks on both sides so let’s hope it stays quiet on Dapo and Rico for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 2 mins from a motorway connection and Europe's biggest retail park on your doorstep when you finish work. Be mad to go for 4 trips to Alloa Athletic and the odd trip to Trabzonspor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
