Sparkz 76 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 What a player this guy is. When Aden Flint left I was gutted but Webster’s positioning intelligence and calmness on the ball is amazing and is twice the player Aden is. The way he brings the ball out and links the play to midfield is very refreshing as not sure if any city centre back has had these attributes. Great signing for LJ and well done to Adam Webster keep it up don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Said before on here I think he could be our most valuable asset, even more than Kelly. Prem teams love defenders who are comfortable on the ball and can pass well in addition to their defensive duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 My confidence in him is getting better all the time. He seems to have settled in well and having a great spell at the moment. Very solid and great at bringing the ball out. He now needs to learn how to head the ball down when he is in the opponent's penalty area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Webster_(footballer,_born_1995) Not the best source and all that....But this says we paid 3.5m rising to 8m....Does anyone know what we paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, Gary was the most skilled centre half we have produced in my lifetime imo and Webster is very much like him. I can pay no higher compliment than that.

TonyTonyTony Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Flinty was a warrior and I’d never criticise him. He is a city ledge. Webster however, is pure class. The way he brings the ball out is superb. His partnership with Kalas is developing wonderfully well and he is rapidly becoming our most important player. Great piece of business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Having been in Oz for first couple of games, my first live viewing was Boro at home. Remember writing that he 1) didn’t like heading and 2) a bit casual with his first touch and vowed to watch him more closely. Thought he started a bit shaky v QPR, but since then has been pretty darn impressive in every game bar West Brom probably. Now that Kalas has returned to full fitness and form they are a very good combo. My player and signing of the season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Player of season, Flint isnt on the same page as him as a defender and that´s been obvious for a very long time now. Will play in the Prem soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 One of my best mates is an Ipswich fan and attends Portman Road regularly. He's fairly depressed at the moment and that isn't helped by me continually telling him how good Webster is. The thing that narks him is that at Ipswich, Webster was seen as a bit of a sick note -- I told him about Stoke and basically fighting to get on the pitch. He's come to the conclusion that Mad Mick basically left him out and may have used the injuries as an excuse (if they even existed). On a side note, he's not confident about league one next season and Lambert is going spare. As for AW - a phenomenal upgrade on Flint. I won't repeat my thoughts on the latter save for that I called a lot of his limitations - and Webster has none of those. The only thing I'd take AF over AW on is ability in the opposing box - as for everything else, different bloody gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great piece of business Exactly! All this better than Flint blah blah blah. They have different attributes and one of Flints is goals...a lot of goals....This is a CB that got 16 in a season (if I am not mistaken) including a hat trick... Webster is a class act, that is obvious, but all these comparisons are a bit pony really! However, Like for Like, he is reminiscent of Gary Collier without a doubt!

wendyredredrobin Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 We have 3 great CBs in Webster, Kalas and Wright, plus Kelly who can play there if we need him and Even Pisano in an emergency. Bringing on a third CB towards the end today also gave LJ a few other options with 3 5 2 or 5 3 2 formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Webster is clearly a far better defender, Flint deserves nothing but respect for his total commitment and and numerous vital goals for us.
