Well, LJ certainly can’t say he hasn’t been backed in the transfer market - £8m for someone who’d only made around 50 previous championship appearances and was playing in the conference 4 years ago...still, it looks like he could turn out to be a good ‘un... Think the consensus was that Webster was worth more than £3.5m had he not had injuries, hence the way the deal was loaded based on add-ons.

Fair play to LJ - once again under his coaching a player has had his value increased significantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure LJ has had an effect, but you make it sound like it’s LJ’s coaching alone is responsible for his increased his value. If you’d said - LJ’s coaching has made Webster a better player I would understand that more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, though on the other hand if a player comes in, does badly and his value drops LJ tends to get the blame so maybe it's fair to give him some credit if a player's value increases?

Kalas and Webster compliment each other really well and although it’s only half a season they look as if they’ve been playing alongside each for much longer. They’re a very solid pairing. Credit has to go to LJ for bringing them to City. Add to those two the likes of Wright, Baker, Pisano and Kelly and the CB position is well covered.

robin_unreliant Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 When he signed the talk was that he was talented but had a history of injuries. Up until now he's avoided injury and looked a very good signing. Apparently he has an ankle problem which was an issue at Ipswich. Let's hope this isn't the start of us finding out why a bigger club hadn't already snapped him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
