You'll often see him with a hand behind him trying to hold defenders off like that but it's not as effective as Wilbs getting his behind into a defender and using his power to back that defender up to receive the ball. Wilbs occupies defenders whereas I think Djuric let's them off a bit by trying to keep them away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 When I saw Wilbs play last year, I just saw a player who knew what to do & when to do it with regards a forwards job. He is match savy, he knows when to draw a foul etc. For me it's a no brainer, no fee, popular among the group, great role model & he is happy to join in on the coaching side. Nobody is saying he is first choice or we are going to build a team round him. He is good to have around, ask Tammy. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backward step if he gets any minutes this season imo Eh?

Bs4Red Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 13 goals in 107 championship appearances and people think he's useful at this level. Absolutely delusional, nothing but sentiment.

Mind you there were plenty of fans demanding he be given a coaching job regardless of whether he was qualified or any good. I just hope this is a professional decision and not a sentimental one. SL was right when he said we should not get so attached to players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Think Wilbs not playing so mutch. Maybe on the bench sometimes. Coaching the new fw. His old and wise. Its for Citys best, not about the money. Engvall earns more than Swedens big boss, the primemister. Feel ok that Wilbs is around. Coyr!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club talks about progressing and we're playing a 37 year old up top. Laughable About four, if you think of it in just goals. Late winner against Blackburn at home in October, and second goal against Newcastle away in February when we drew 2-2. Being three points was the difference between relegation, directly helping us get four wasn't nothing, and that says nothing of the times he came on to lead the line and give the likes of Tammy time and space to get us key goals. While I'm not saying he's going to bang out 20 goals a season next year (or even play much at all in all honesty) his experience and leadership isn't to be sniffed at or dismissed.

Major Isewater Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 13 hours ago, Silvio Dante said: I don't know if anyone else saw today but Per Mertesacker signed a new contract at the Arse today. 1 year playing with some coaching of the youth setup, then full time in the youth set up at the end of the year. Nobody expects him to play much, but he's a useful option for Wenger if needed and is seen as a leader and a positive influence in the dressing room. Of course, if it's the route Arsenal are taking in a similar situation we should in no way do the same. No siree... The Arsenal taking a leaf out of our book. Those librarians will be up in arms !

But he has the ability to give us momentum when chasing a game as he takes out a couple of defenders at times, additionally over a long hard season plus possible cup games I think he's a good option particularly as back up to Djuric. In his cameos he looks an absolute nightmare to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
