    Well I wasn't half wrong here was I :smiley-laughing002: ? horrible call with Bitton. Just shows you the difference a year makes. Fair play to those who seen a player in him.

    Anyone think we should get an updated one going ?

    I'm quite embarrassed actually. Always thought of myself as a good judge of a player. Made a right * of it.

    To be fair to me, he's came on so much on every single part I've said here.

    That's why I rarely vote in these things, they have a habit of biting you in the * at some point. :smiley-laughing002:

    I haven't voted yet, gonna take advantage to vote for McGregor and then anyone who looks at the poll later will think I'm a better judge of talent than Devlin. :smiley-laughing002:

    I'd vote Stokes but no * actually rates him do they? :icon_mrgreen:

    I'll go for Johansen. Not just on his current dire form either. He's not got the passing attributes for a No.10 and any time he plays further back he's a liability at times. His energy/work rate and his goalscoring are good though.

    Imagine he came out as Bitttttttttttton next season. He would be * immense.

    Everybody would have his name on the back of their shirts and we would be the richest club in the world, charging * fortunes to get his name printed.

    It's actually quite brilliant if you think about it.

    Is there really any hype with Izzy? If anything he gets slaughtered on here.

    It has died down in recent times I would say. Three or four good performances and it'll soon start up again though. He was so good in his first season here that I think some people some people still see him like that or think he could be that player again. I don't. I think he just had a particularly good season that first year he played for us.

    Maybe the ankle injury prevented him becoming the player he could have been? We'll never know for sure.

    I believe he has been as good if not better than his first season at times, he has certainly contributed more in an attacking sense in later seasons.

    I think the space he leaves at the back gets him a rough ride on here, as well as his erratic crossing at times. The difference in his POTY season though was Ledley protecting his charges upfield making space less obvious in the LB area. His crossing was still erratic then as well and he never got as many assists that year as he did in some seasons since.

    I keep saying this but if you expect the guy to support the front players then don't be surprised to see gaps in LB if you don't cover for him while he is upfield.

    I honestly believe he is the best LB we could hope for and he loves it here which is a real bonus.
