Agreed. The only reason that someone like Rashford, as in my example, was played was because of a depleted squad.

If someone like Wilf were to disappear for longer than a few weeks, would Sully fill a void? Or would we better to re-invest in a proven player?

Dammit man, pretty good is not good enough for me.

I saw things in that boy Swindelhurst that would have made Pele look like James Milner

That goes for you all!!

If anyone on this thread thinks 'pretty good' is enough, i want you to leave.

Yeah, that's right, you. Go on, hop it. I want 200% in my threads.

We only want winners on this thread. People who will go to the wall, and then through it, in order to make their point.

I want desktop destiny makers, keyboard hardmen, and typist who know where the CAPS LOCK key is...... and AREN'T AFRAID TO USE IT!!!

Actually I would love to have James Milner at the Palace, I mean he is pretty good.

Playing as you put it "ok" at a championship club where he is coming off the bench doesn't make him ready for the PL. if he was here then he may be worth sticking on the bench but I don't see the point of recalling him before the end of his loan term.

Give him a chance while zaha is away

Not really done enough while on loan. He has made the step up and looks like a championship player which is progress. He needs to kick on after his brace and nail down a starting role. Leave him where he is, at the end of the season he may be worth a look in. He had 3/4 chances against Cardiff and scored probably the hardest 2 he just needs a bit more consistency. I think he has potential but is some way off. I think he probably needs to develop at Brentford for the rest of the season (they play good football down there) and next season I'd send him on loan to a top championship club chasing promotion for 6 months.
