      I think that ship has sailed. After Burnley they Got tough fixtures. I Will sell him after Burnley.

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        16 days, 7 hours ago

        Arsenal is the only tough fixture really though and he could easily get a pen on that, all the other teams may look hard on paper but most have crap defense and Palmer getting pens left right and centre!

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      16 days, 7 hours ago

      The boat has sailed now, not worth bringing in

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        16 days, 7 hours ago

        Which is ironic, because after a couple of seasons with these kind of football, the fans want more entertaining football and the WH board try that, it goes to shite and then straight back to a boring/pragmatic manager which again works.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 9 Years
          16 days, 7 hours ago

          Boring and pragmatic are not to words you often here in the same sentence.
