Irrelevant as Ben has left for £190k per week.

 

I mean, I don't agree with you, but what do you suggest? Sign no one? See if Mike Whitlow can still run?

You've reminded me of that run Whitlow made to set up the equaliser against Swindon at Wembley in 1993. He appeared to be running in slo-mo, only underpaced by the defender tracking him in treacle.

Haha I genuinely remember Mike Whitlow with real fondness.

I don’t know, literally seen bits of him against spurs, so I don’t pretend I know anything about him... I’m purely going on someone who is a South American football expert and has watched him a lot more than me...

South American football expert being Tim Vickery. I'm not saying he is wrong, I've seen next to nothing of this guy, so am not qualified to have a valid opinion.

What I would say though is that when Richarlison was first linked with a premier league move, Tim Vickery didn't really rate him either, and thought he was just "alright", but thought that Yerry Mina was the absolute dogs wotsits, so he isn't always right. Oh and he is a Spuds fan too, need I say more!

Ahhh, the inevitable jumping to the conclusion that this must be in the pipeline now Chilwell has gone. Let's hope this is actually true. The pessimistic side of me thinks this thread should be closed.

Lovely bloke. My company does some contract work for Mansfield Town Academy, he's a coach there. Based at Brooksby College. Said he preferred his time at Bolton though

Loved him but I feel like he's dead to me now!

 

Tell him all Bolton fans hate him. Let's see if we can't get this man some redemption.

 

ps sounds like a man who doesn't want this unlikely playing contract I'm danging in front of him (without due authorisation).

He was no Tony Spearing or Nicky Platnauer.

 

Proper left backs 

[The People's Hero]

Garry Mills was the gold standard back in those days.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Don't forget Neil Lewis. You ain't worth a damn imho until you've left the pitch after mistakenly thinking you've been sent off.

Anyone remember when we apparently bought the wrong left back.

 

Manager said get me the left back from Plymouth (Tony Capaldi - good player).... our idiots go out and get him Peter Gilbert. Peter BLOODY Gilbert.

 

Could have been worse I suppose, could have been Peter Capaldi

Nope. Worse would be Jamal Lewis capaldi

I'd be fuming if we signed Jamal Lewis to replace Chilwell. He should stay at his level in the Championship with Norwich

[The People's Hero]

If we want a young champo left back then Ben Williams at Barnsley if your boy.

 

We already have the young one though, just need someone to come in and boss it for a couple of years, like the Fuchs/Chilwell thing with a gradual seamless change over.

 

If we sign Jamal Lewis I'll quite happily call Chelsea myself and explain there's been a mixup and we'd like Chilwell back.

Forget Championship players, we need to replace Chilwell with either someone better or at least on par with him.

yes thats why we are going into the championship

[Spudulike]

Makes no sense to sign a young left back with potential when we already have one.

 Used to sit in front of a man who EVERY TIME he tackled someone would be like “ That player has a whicklow on his foot!” and then laugh at his own joke. EVERY TIME.

What's a whicklow?

 

Mike Whitlow was the best left back I'd seen play for us up until that point.  Norman Leet notwithstanding of course.

You might have to talk me through this one?

Assume it’s an ailment/infection, as per this link Whitlow

Unfunny sods are the bane of the football-match attendee. I'm trying to decide what/who the online equivalent are... (and not in any way directed at you MPH...)
