2022/23 James Garner

[Joey66]

Can he play right back ?

 

[Mosh Pit]

Hopefully we can achieve a comfortable lead against Southampton so this lid gets some action...

I find it interesting that you had two players, Gilmour and Garner, both available at a similar price, same position, same age, Gilmour being a favourite of the manager...and they went decisively for Garner.

I don't think there is or was anything to indicate Gilmour was a favourite of Lampard's. I'm sure there are quotes out there where Lampard is praising Gilmour but I file these under typical quotes from a manager towards any promising young player in his squad.

Gilmour is one of those players whose status is amplified beyond all reason after having half a good game against Liverpool.

The stampede for him on here was pathetic.

Garner over that fraud any day of the week.

Seems strange saying it, but, I agree

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

I'm interested to see how he'll do

You can feel there's a push for him to get some chances in the media, probably because he's ex-Man United and he's come to Plucky Little Everton, so obviously in most journo's minds he should just be starting immediately

Garner and Gana on the pitch at the same time might lead to some confusion like lol

Off the bench tomorrow for a cameo to show what he's about.

Genuinely haven’t seen any of this like

Did we really need a 6th choice midfielder?

When we end up with injuries I won’t mind having another option

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Did we really need a 6th choice midfielder?

Depends on the match...always need options.

 

[dylsexicbleu]

Unable to fight his way into a winning team after only a handful of games and some people are already having doubts.

 

[Amokachi1995]

Looking forward to seeing him play. Ideally ease him into a winning team.

Yes

You need 2 players for every position. If you play a midfield 3 you need 6 options.

It allowed us to move on 2 underperforming high earners as well.

Fight his way? He can but dream, currently he is at least 3rd choice midfield option off the bench
