[Albion] The Poll Of The Season! The Players!

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Most of those players are worthy of squad places but which are first team starters ? Kayal is a good example, will always ‘do a job’ if called upon but not a regular starter.

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

I have to say locadia his shown more potential than Ali j.

Burn way more votes than Balogun. A case of playing better if you don't play at all?

100 votes up and my bedtime.
Dunk - 99 votes.
Duffy - 98
Yves - 94
Bernardo and March - 90
Ryan - 87...
But apart from those seriously heavy hitters? Not much.
Maybe Hughton wasn't so bad....

Burn more votes than Montoya...

I think this poll is spot on, and underlines the point that it is time to ditch a couple of our big money flops and some of our Championship team that have reached their natural level.

It is very interesting. A clear top 6 which I agree with entirely and shows we have got a strong nucleous to build around. Personally I also think you can add Propper when played in the right position and system, Izquierdo when fully fit and Andone when given a proper run. Knockaert and Montoya not far off too.

We’re honestly not far away from having a good, exciting team to watch. I firmly believe CH held us back and whilst this is a sad day in many ways, I also think it could be a big step forward for us.

I don’t think we need to buy in quantity this summer, just quality. We desperately need younger, more mobile and better upgrades on Stephens and Murray so if we’re going to spend circa £60 - £70 million again I would hope we spend £30 million on each of those two players and then get a cheap/free right back as competition/back up for Montoya.

Good thing you don't make those types of decisions then.

What would you do?

Needed- right back, striker.
Could do with- CM, winger.

Dunk has now lost two votes!

 

[Surf's Up]

Need another decent goalkeeper as cover/competition for Ryan - I suggest Neil Etheridge, Cardiff and then we'd have Ryan, Walton and Etheridge

 

[MattBackHome]

Oof - some harsh voting going on here. Kayal on 33%? Murray below 50%?

More than half of the people who have voted don't think FFS is good enough? Jesus wept.

 

[Pavilionaire]

"Good enough" is very subjective because it doesn't take account of "the bench option".

Take Glenn Murray. Next year he's not likely to be capable of performing 90 minutes x 38 games, however Murray as a finisher is clearly good enough for the Premier League.

We know his deficiencies restrict our options and restrict the players around him; however, with 20 minutes to go he'll be able to channel all of his energy into a short period of time and if he gets an opportunity he's more likely than any other striker to bury it. Getting rid of Murray would be madness. If we brought in a young striker then imagine how much Glenn could teach him about the art of the centre forward. In terms of winning free-kicks and being in the right place at the right time he's probably the best Albion striker I've ever seen.

 

[the right footed denilson]

Izzy less than half. He would have been right up there last season. Gross would have been close to 100% too

 

[James Bond's body double]

Oh FFS, I read it for some reason who's NOT good enough well that was worth voting.

It's what happens when you barely kick a ball all season, poor Izzy has been plagued with bad luck this season.

Although Burn has hardly kicked a ball...

 

[Wozza]

Not much nuance here.

Murray is good enough for the squad, but not to start/be main striker.
