Team for Norwich (H)

[Hoop Blah]

I bet there have been more statements with flimsy evidence such as:

Jamie Young will be a top top keeper

Peter Castle is the best young defender we've ever had

Jonny Hayes will tear up Championship defenders

Emerse Fae is a quality signing

Cisse is the new Viera

Halford will easily replace Murty

BIkey is destined to play for a top four team

Quite right- Long should have been long,long gone-Brian's adopted son and will stay with us whilst Brian remains the manager.

BUT HE ISN'T SO THE PEOPLE WHO SAID HE WOULD BE GONE WERE, WHAT'S THE WORD AGAIN, OH YES W-R-O-N-G!!!

I don't believe they added the codicil, "Unless Brian McDermott has his love-child..."

Cummings-jury is still very much out.

Cummings is currently, officially and legally a Championship player. This season he has played 600 minutes of Championship football
with the results 2-1 3-0 0-0 1-3 3-0 1-0 1-1 P7 W4 D2 L1 11-5 = 2 Points per game, the best overall record of any Reading current RFC player. Last season he started 8 Championship games. he is absolutely an categorical "A-PLAYER".

If you wish to now start saying "a-player" has a different meaning in HNA-Speak, feel free, but the kid can play, will get a LOT better and received plenty of praise on this list this season.

Had you said, "He might not cut it as a CHAMPIONSHIP player," we'd have a discussion, but "Will never be a player" excludes Prem, Championship, League 1 and League 2 at a minimum. Technically it excludes Thatcham Old Boys too.

Kebe was bought as a Premiership player and is probably still short of that level despite his great improvement.

But that was NOT the discussion. The quote was "Kebe will never be a player" and this is clearly. patently ABSURD. So a NON player can score 18 Championship goals, make Championship Team of the Week, be almost first on the team-sheet every week, score the fastest-ever FA Cup proper round goal... a NON-player. Just admit it, those who said he will never be a player were W-R-O-N-G

Jem is a Championship player and will go no higher because his passing is way short of any higher level but whereas his passing is of Div2 standing some of his other attributes are of Premier class.

So you agree then that the statement, "Karacan will never make it in the Championship" is also wrong?
