Him and Tarks are such a hard partnership to get anything from. Both tall and really strong, and JOB has the added pace to cover Tarks' lack of it.
Thought he was great today and he seems almost like a natural Tarkowski replacement with Branthwaite being the more cultured partner.
But of a steal at what was something like £17.5m I think?
Going to be a fantastic long term player for us or flip for big profit down the line. Great piece of business.

Another cracker from Jake in the middle.
NEVER move him back to RB, ever, play a goalie there if we have too.

Another game at centre half, another clean sheet.
So frustrating to see him at right back past few games when we don't concede with him in the centre.
Wonder if the penny will finally drop with Moyes when Keane completes his suspension.

Re: Jake O'Brien
He's just so comfortable there, rarely looks troubled. It's no coincidence that Tarkowski looked so much better next to him again either.
Re: Jake O'Brien
Oh and another thing.
Please don't bring Keane back in to the fold.
Tarks plays better with a better CB next to him, JOB/Branthwaite.
Leave Keane where he should be, 4th choice emergency.

Can only hope so. Some stat that and surely they must realise playing him in the centre is the best optionBumble wrote:Another game at centre half, another clean sheet.

Centre back with Branthwaite, surely?

Re: Jake O'Brien
What sort of club goes a full season without a right back the manager has the smallest amount of trust in
