2023/24 Ben Godfrey

[Carlito]

You forgetting Holgate or just not counting him because he's out on loan?

At centre-back, where he was bought to play, Godfrey is worse than Holgate.

He's right up there with the Moshiri-era transfers that everybody laughs about.

Great athlete - terrible footballer

It’s a close call.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Still fully think he's a CB and the fullback 'experiment' has run it's course.

I just can't believe that Patterson hasn't been given a proper run in Coleman's absence. Cowardice from Dyche that, NEA.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Looks back to the times when I said he was a walking pen

He’s even worse at centre back than he is in any other position. He has none of the attributes to be a centre back, terrible positional sense, can’t jump, can’t head, doesn’t know how to mark, doesn’t anticipate danger, wretched on the ball. People say he has physical attributes but he doesn’t display those on the pitch either, gets bullied all the time by much smaller players. He can lift weights well and punch a bag really hard though.

He has no awareness to danger and cannot leap or time a header

He is most definitely not a centre back, nor a full back.

Or a footballer.

 

[GoldenToffee]

He's got loaned out to Hull next season with them paying 15% of his salary written all over him. No chance we sell any of him, Keane or Holgate this summer. In fact, I'd bet my house (if I had one) that one of those three has already been earmarked to partner Tarkowski next season.

 

[GrayJ]

Like Keane and Young before him, now seems a certainty to play and cost us points every week, wouldn't even get a game for most championship sides.

Holgate will be back next season toss up who gives the most pens away

 

[Arteta2391]

Holgate and Godfrey

our very own Titus Bramble and Jean-Alain Boumsong

I disagree. Patterson is a liability defensively and contributes very little going forward.

Despite Ben Godfrey being a subpar RB and even worse CB, he is still a better RB than Nathan Patterson.

Both being worse than a 35-year-old Seamus Coleman and costing 41.5M in transfer funds is the problem at the club; not Sean Dyche.

Unbelivable that the £15mil deal to Italy didnt go through due to tax laws changing.
