Don't mix apples and oranges Vestergaard and Bertrand's contracts have NOT been extended. These are signings that we got wrong. A contract extention indicates u have done enough to deserve extra time. That's what Big Dan got after 3 years. Vestergaard and Bertrand can only dream of an extention 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannythefox Posted 14 November 2022 Share Posted 14 November 2022 He’s been really good for us overall. Don’t get me wrong it’s an area we could definitely improve but fair play to him for always giving us his all. Great squad player like I’ve always said.

Jobyfox Posted 14 November 2022 Share Posted 14 November 2022 It’s good to look back at some of these comments in hindsight and sniff at them, but we’ve all been guilty of writing off players. I’ll be very honest and say that when I watched Amartey in those early home games against Brentford and Southampton I wondered how on Earth he could be considered a PL footballer. I was desperate for Soyuncu to have a bit of chance at redemption and for DA to be dropped. Now, quite rightly, BR kept faith with him over a fit-again Evans. If someone had told me towards the end of last season that, the following season, we’d be starting games without Evans, Fofana and Cags - and that Amartey was part of a new look defence - I would have been reaching for the Whiskey. I’m still getting used to a world where that is the case. There is, however, nothing more beautiful in football when players you’d written off start to prove you very wrong. Long may it continue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 14 November 2022 Share Posted 14 November 2022 Sooner or later one of his long-rangers is going to fly into the top corner and I hope a) he's playing for us when it happens and b) I'm there to see it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm1 Posted 14 November 2022 Share Posted 14 November 2022 I love Dan. His is the underdog story, came as a CDM, broke his leg, spent years out of the team, brought back as a RB and then a CB. Started out at 4th or 5th choice, hardly got a game but never complained. Slowly worked his way through the team and now is the 2nd best CB at the club. Moral of the story, never give up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 14 November 2022 Share Posted 14 November 2022 He always looks like he's got a mistake in him and without injuries and unwanted departures he likely wouldn't have played near the amount of games he has but come on. He's a very solid defender for us and gives it everything every week. Had a massive injury and been largely bomb proof ever since which by itself is a miracle with this squad. Absolutely love him.

I like you HONESTY Amartey was a midfielder converting to a central defender. It's HARD and does not take a day, expecially in the best league in the world facing some of the best strikers in the world. BR knew what he was doing, and that's the reason he's the manager and we are all fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR knew it was a difficult transition and required time. Any reasonable fan, who watches him weekly & understands the game, should have also figured that out It's not rocket science.
