Max has stolen a living so far. Done nothing. If he was a youngster after that season he would have been written off a long time ago. I hope he comes good, but he’s miles from blossoming so far.

No.. Johnny Williams stole a living as a Palace player cos he was a nice bloke and showed promise at 19

Dear oh dear.

Ridiculous post.

Complete and utter bollocks.

You need to stop drinking mate

Is this the sort of bollocks one could expect to hear on your "critical and thinking podcast"?

Incredible take!

:D

Given your view of Wilf a couple of years ago, this is a great sign.

Must be a world of wonderful insights on there.....

Farcical post Steffan

I remember when Stef was a young upbeat poster. :D

The BBS united for once!

About a player on the wrong thread, which is par for the course of course.

And doing racisms.

Loan deal to German Bundesliga team Paderborn being suggested.

That's a really ***** thing to do.

I know I could embarrass you on a lot of the things you wrote about individual players back in the day, but choose not to. (You could probably do the same to me with my outlandish suggestions for team tactics!) The point is Steffan is one of us: he's been posting on the BBS for a long time, and is entitled to his opinion.

And also, whilst I don't agree with his post, Max Meyer is the BBS darling because he is technically gifted - we don't have many of those in the midfield! - and the purists like to see that at their club. But if we are all being brutally honest, it hasn't worked for Meyer yet, he's not a starter under Hodgson who sees the player week in week out in training and his wages are high. He is also unlikely to be a first XI starter for a while. That said we didn't pay such a big transfer fee as we did for the likes of Riedewald and Sorloth and there have been some green shoots in the last 6 months or so. The jury are definitely still deliberating. Hopefully with the switch to 4-3-3 his performances will improve, but we don't know and if they don't it may be best for all concerned that he moves on in the summer.

Edit: only just realised that post on Meyer was from July. How things change so quickly! Original point remains though.

Good to get this thread back on track!

Let's hope so, he's not in Roy's plans. Just wish we could sell him permanently.

Opinions on players will change as their performances/form change. I’ve got no problem with people voicing their opinions... as long as they do without being insulting. I thought Delaney was gonna be a disaster when we got promoted. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I was certain David Whyte would play for England. If posters are gonna be continually reminded of the ones they got wrong... no-one will post.
