Perhaps they'll play him when they come to Selhurst for our last game. That'd be fun.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Unfortunately No, I think we sold a promising RB with a bright future. We would now buy someone who has gone backwards in his key developmental years. Sad to see Is the correct answer.
Cynic or realist? It's a fine line! |

Funnily enough I wouldn't take him on a free given how we are trying to play and the fact he's on mega bucks and would see a return as failure. Has he changed much from the player who made his debut for us? No. Mitchell has had steady growth and development.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

Wilf just wasn't used by Man Utd, so was still 'fresh'. AWB has gone into decline, and he may well not be able to be as potent as when he left. And as others have said he will expect similar high wages he got at Old Trafford.

No to buy him - we have 3 right backs and just 1 left back. We need to look at getting a balanced squad. When you look at Guehi and compare him to AWB and consider we got one for 14 million and sold the other for 50 million then someone in our club is doing a good job.

We do have two decent youngsters in Adamarola and Hannam at LB, Ferguson if he ever gets fit can play either side and Schlupp is ok in that position too.

I'd probably take him back on a free if that were possible but actually paying for him, not a chance. He's no upgrade over Clyne right now and I think he's plateaued; he's not going to get much better than what you see currently. And our scouting dept has been doing an admirable job finding reasonably priced talent elsewhere so I'm sure they can get someone as good for less. I'm with the consensus here also, we need midfield help desperately. That needs to be our focus. Edited by redshift (08 May 2022 2.44pm)
Success will lie to you but failure always tells you the truth. |

The Beeb's gossip column claims that Athletico Madrid are interested in AWB. Now that makes some sense given their style of play. They would want a RB who is primarily a defender and AWB has shown he can, at least, fulfil that requirement in a team that plays on the counter-attack.
