I realise you said if your a visitor don't bother arguing, well I go to most Torquay games as I'm local, but am a avid Peterborough united fan. I agree, Eunan is a great player and it great to watch, but, I wouldn't put him in our starting XI, as he is just too lightweight for the championship atm. Maybe in a year or two he will be ready, I just feel that for a 21 year old who's not exactly the most experienced, and isn't a big fellow a leap from league 2 to the championship would be too large imo.ferrarilover wrote:Exactly what I said to Diamond Girl last evening. He'll not be here long. He did the right thing in signing a new contract with us, but at the rate he is improving, he will be far beyond our coaching by the end of the season. We will get monster money for him. Despite their obvious (and not so obvious) failings, our board really do appreciate that they hold all the cards with Eunan. He is on a three year deal, he's 19 and he's the best player this side of the top half of the Championship (if you're a visitor and reading this, please don't bother arguing, you're wrong.)
I love Eunan, he is SO good to watch that he alone is a factor in my attending away matches. It's got to the point where he is literally worth the entrance money all on his own.
Two balls he played yesterday both right wing to left, landed on Nico's boot both times. Our pitch is what, 70 yards wide, so knock off 5 each side for the players being a little in from the touch lines and then add them back on to allow for the diagonal, and we have a bloke who is at David Beckham standard when it comes to massive long passes and he does it EVERY WEEK!
Wouldn't surprise me to see him back at Everton, and oh how they will be kicking themselves.

On Saturday it did show that Eunan has great quality and will go far and I understand that you don't want him to go to a mediocre league 1 club, say, e.g Oldham. Because he will be MUCH better than that in a few years. I do however feel that if say, Charlton, MK Dons, Sheffield United ect, the higher end league 1 clubs made a suitable bid of around 300-500k that the board (lack of funds) would sell him, and I think that a few seasons at that level, because of the physical difference would do him wonders as his physical side isn't the best atm, and this is why he currently imo isn't a championship player.
I myself going to most Torquay's home games would hate to see Eunan leave but due to Torquay being in the financial state they are, I think he will leave in the Summer, hopefully for at least 300k because,I also love watching him play.
