People are strange Yup. I'm a big fan of Irving and some on here think I overrate him but I'm certain that his size and physicality are not in question. I've never seen him bullied and he always looks to have a good physique to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on guys. Back on topic, said obligatory YouTube video: Looks skillful, and though not sure of the level of the opposition in each clip, the marking looked fairly tight yet he still managed to beat a fair few players. Doesn't look like my idea of a striker, with less close in finishes than 'great' goals, but looks exciting...but we've been fooled before by online player footage so, hopefully, RN will look long and hard before deciding on offering a deal.

SomethingAboutObua Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Any plans for a new defender? I'm pretty annoyed we were STILL going to rely on 3 injury prone CB'S even after seeing 2 go down, and we've sent our 4th choice out on loan?

If he was trusted for the season he'd be here - perfect opportunity for him to get game time. Not saying he's not rated - he clearly is - but seems clear that we'll get someone else in.
