2023/24 James Garner

[Neiler]

Nothing on him having a knock so here's hoping he's getting fitted for a Saudi outfit.

Erm, a hamstring is a muscle isn’t it?!

Well it's a tendon, but yeah the injury is normally classed as a muscle one as it's the muscle that is strained, unless it fully snaps ofc.

Was thinking pure biology rather than how it's classed in sport

 

[bluestevon]

Technically no, tendons. But generally hamstring is used to denote the muscles in the back of the thigh.

Yeah they get reported as muscle injuries as you say.

 

[Zatara]

Don't see the Duke involved today either mate.

Him off to Saudi for £10mil+ would be ace.

Perhaps that kicks off a Diarra move & may allow us to put more down upfront for Gnonto.

More than Greta Thunberg has ever attempted vs the Saudis.

I think Garner is truly under appreciated, at times last season I felt he was a better option than Onana (who I rated) he's got the attributes to be a solid premier league CM.

Gana holding, with Garner & Tim in front of him.

Still think we need an extra DM/CM

We need someone who can spell Gana and okay the holding role with more discipline than he can long term replacement

Spelling gana is easy, it’s iroegbunam people are going to struggle with.

Dead easy mate. I won't make a mistake all year spelling Tim

 

[BlueToff]

Sorry mate, disagree, think garner was the fulcrum of the team last year and his loss is huge, look at the genes we pressed the best - see who in those games led that press

He's a tidy little player and Dyche loves him, he's the ideal Dyche CM.

But think he's way overrated by some too.

Don't get me wrong, he'll be a miss if he's out for a long time but hopefully he isn't. But he's hardly some exceptional midfielder either. Can't believe the stick Onana got, and it just really does show what a lot of our fanbase like, which is lads who run around a bit aimlessly at times, and Garner really does do that.

Now fortunately, the manager we have really values high energy in midfield, and Garner brings that in abundance.

My opinion is Onana was a very good central mid mate, in the system we played somewhat stifled, Gueye is what he is, warts and all.
Garner is imo a Barry, Carrick, carswell type midfielder, one who can be one the fulcrum of a side.

Yeah I'll admit I'm a huge fan, and time may vault me on this but I truly believe he's got way more potential than we've unlocked do far.

I do think he has a lot of potential but not sure I really see him in that type of mold personally.

His passing, for example, really isn't great, but people have him down as some ball-playing, silky playmaker.

Not saying he can't develop that side of his game and he really is ideal for how Dyche wants his CMs to play right now.

Might be unpopular but I don’t really rate him.
To me he seems like James ward prowse minus the set piece.
