Hampshire Red Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Daily Telegraph features Hörður, 'Bristol' and tonight's reunion with Woy. Not the best football article you've read but the MA media machine is working overtime with Lj on National radio etc. Wonder how long before we see Lj taken by a bigger club? We will need Hörður and all defence to be at their best if Townsend and Zaha play CoYRs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Very good article. It's quite amazing how many footballing greats must be in the contacts list on his phone. Pierlo, Buffon, Tevez, Pack ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetzRed Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 He's just a really lovely bloke, isn't he? Would like to see him get more of a chance. I think he's a real talent. Understand that he is stuck behind Baker at the moment but if you ask me I'd be going to him first to play left centre back next time Baker can't play.

RedM Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Interesting. If he can't shift Baker or Joe...!!! "It was quite a shock moving from Reykjavik to Turin,” he says. “I arrived there as a midfielder that played behind the striker but Juventus saw my qualities at the back. I got Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli to help me improve my style of football" He really is a lovely bloke and if we can't make use of him as a player and his media skills with the World Cup coming up it will be an absolute travesty.

Laughable when people suppose the reason many want to see him have a chance is "because he's good on social media". Read the article, read the company he was keeping in training, read his achievements and frankly yes consider his intelligence (he's not someone who will rely on instinct, he can be coached to learn). Personally I think he's much better than a Bristol City squad player, but perhaps not good enough to dislodge our current back line. Given first team experiences, I honestly think he'd be the best defender we would have in time, but that we don't have the patience and are not in a League to be able to persevere with him. Feels a right player wrong time situation to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels a right player wrong time situation to me. Exactly, I think the reason people like him so much and want him to play is partly because he tweets stuff people like and always claps the fans. Obviously both of those are good things but I think it clouds some people's judgement. Is he better at centre half than Flint, Baker and Wright? No. Is he a better left back than Bryan (or even Kelly)? No. He's backup and rightly so based on the ability of the other defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Both Joe and Hörður come across as very decent people in those interviews.

CiderHider Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 We have some really likeable players now, gone the days of Danny Coles and Clayton Fortune etc, Danny Coles was such a tosser, every weekend i'd see him in the strip bars giving it the big one. And Clayton Fortune was a bad behind the wheel as he was at centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
