Bob Weasel Fox Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Pearson has said everyone will get a chance in the prem from this season. GTF is still a good player. He was Blackpools best player in the prem and he can hold the ball up and create chances. He's decent at finishing too. Happy ThisGood squad player
sdb Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 If nothing else we seriously lack prem experience in our squad. His alone could be worth it. And he deserves it based on performances in fairness.
copunk Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 what makes me laugh is how everyone still goes on about his weight like its a big surprise! yes we all know hes carrying some extra timber, but I honestly like gtf, hes got an amazing touch, which most people done expect, he can hold the ball up well, his goals so far have all been good finishes, happy for him
Soar Fox Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Aren't we limited to 25 players this season? Though I think Liam Moore, Andy King and Jeff Schluup don't count towards that.
kingpower84 Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Waste of time looks like we wont be buying many forwards then
65RosesFox Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 He wont get near the team but he's not as bad as everyone makes out. Plus he's one of the few in the squad with PL experience. Don't get why everyone makes out GTF is awful. He has done a very good job in any game he has played. Not everyone. A lot of us think he thoroughly deserves an extension. There's a lot worse currently in the Premier League that's for sure. In Nigel we trust!
Danno Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 I imagine Chris Wood will be sold or loaned out now.Hopefully.
Carl the Llama Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Surely we're holding onto him as a backup option for out wide where we don't have as much depth - especially if Lloyd doesn't sign. I don't get all this talk of it affecting our strikers.
Kitchandro Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Hopefully. I Can't understand it if Pearson or anyone would rather keep a 30+ overweight bloke who's time is running out over a young lad who's definitely showed some potential and has scored more goals. On the other hand his wife is fit.
Tommy G Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Remember we need players like him for fa and league cup! Imagine the state of him in pre season after a summer of skol and steak pies
pleatout Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Dont get the negativity. He's worth a place for his experience. Last seasons squad Kasper Schmeichel Conrad Logan Wes Morgan Sean St Ledger Liam Moore Ignasi Miquel Marcin Wasilewski Paul Konchesky Zoumana Bakayogo Ritchie de Laet Jeffrey Schlupp Danny Drinkwater Dean Hammond Matty James Andy King Lloyd Dyer Riyad Mahrez Anthony Knockaert Gary Taylor-Fletcher Jamie Vardy Kevin Phillips David Nugent Chris Wood 23 players. Take out Miquel, Phillips & possibly St ledger. That leaves 20. As someone else said Moore, King and Schlupp don't count. If that's correct then we have a squad of 17. And that includes Dyer, Bakayogo & GTF If NP buys 8 I'll be well chuffed.
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Unsure if people are taking the piss or not but didn't he have it written into his contract that if he played a certain number of games then an extension clause in his original contract would be activated?
suffolk fox Posted 8 May 2014 Posted 8 May 2014 Blimey when i saw the thread topic i thought he had had an extension in the gentlemans department.
