Will be if Pulis plays him as he's already making noises and excuses saying he isn't up to scratch fitness wise or drilled enough yet,then that 5M will be another chunk of wasted money again ala macnananan
Yes it was a bit of a strange saga. Pulis saying that he spoke to Steve Bould and Gerry Peyton (GK coach) before signing him.....not sure where the story of dodgy character references came from.
Maybe 13M they didn't feel it was worth the risk but at 5M they did?
Think Pulis is making observations based on what he and the fitness dept. see. Our record regarding player fitness and injury levels would be way way better than Arsenal's.
I am really not sure about this I know we got him for a bargain price but a bargain isn't a bargain if the player does what you want him to do.We are talking about a 27 year old with over 200 plus first team appearances who needs to bulk up defend better and adapt to the way Pulis wants him to play (shouldn't be too difficult just don't venture past the halfway line make sure you tuck in tight the the nearest Centre Half) wouldn't it be simpler just to buy a player Pulis actually wanted. If rumours about Wimmer as a converted left back had any basis in fact you have to think Pulis would have been a hell of a lot happier with that option.
Wimmer didn't want to come here and play left back so it wasn't an option at all.
Played well against backside, MOM for us in my opinion.Hope we can keep him fit, looking a real asset at the moment, well done son.
He played alright during open play BUT his set piece delivery was very poor (surprised he was the nominated taker), he wasted the two corners we won and a couple of free kicks in promising positions. The balls in either failed to beat the first man or were too high and slow to the back post. Given how important set pieces are to our set-up we badly miss Brunt not being on the pitch to take them or at least Phillips.
Stand out player again for us today, proving to be an excellent signing
