Bennett, Perez, Bertrand, Vestergaard and Lookman (ex Everton) I don't think the term "deadwood" or "flop" really applies to any of them. Bennett and Lookman were loans and the latter wasn't from a EPL team. Perez and Vestegaard were considered important first team players at Newcastle and Southampton and Bertrand was a free transfer so wasn't bought at all.

I'm not conspiracy theorist or skeptic, I believe the virus is real, I have to question how and why it's ripping through football and different football clubs all coincidentally at the same time. Someone else mentioned last night, its amazing how the lower league, even non-league clubs can get games on. It's not just down to more people testing. Many here in the US do not even test until they experience symptoms. The Omicron variant is simply more contagious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopla10 Posted 18 December 2021 Share Posted 18 December 2021 I don't understand why all PL players aren't jabbed to the booster already. The clubs all have lots of highly quilified medical staff to inform them of the data and details. The other thing I don't understand is that once the Omicron was known as highly infectious (more than Delta) I don't get why the PL/EFL and individual clubs didn't immediately have protocols to set out the state of play going forward. It was two weeks ago I watched somebody explain that this was going to explode and the then low level Omicron numbers was deceptive. Now I obviously can't trust our inept joke of a government to act on that but I would have thought clubs and the PL/EFL to do something as it will obviously hurt them financially.

Our recruitment on the whole has been good, although more worrying, it’s started to underwhelm more recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
