Michael Ball

[Blue Moon Henrik]

Ball is nowhere near as bad as some of the crazies on here suggest. I specifically recall him making at least three runs down the left wing, interpassing with Robinho, in each of his last two games. Yes, Garrido is better but Bally never shirks a hard tackle and, for the shitty games like those at Blackburn, he can do a job for us. Leave the poor guy alone.

I happen to think Ball and Garrido are both decent.
They have no cover at all from the midfield and Ball is certainly playing better than Dunne.
We just have to have a whipping boy don't we?

I agree with you. No cover at all makes him look bad. He aint that bad.

if we did sell him in jan, how much would we get for him??

Let's sell him when we have a nailed on 1st choice left back and a cover in case of injury/suspension etc.

The same fans calling for Hughes to sell Ball no matter what would be the same ones calling Hughes head if he were to find himself without a natural left back at any point in the season.
