Mate, I know he's played in La Liga but when he came to the PL, he was famously poor for us. It's only been since we've been relegated that he's come good so yeah, maybe the Champo is beneath him but the PL was above him though.

Fair point, they were all small carribean countries, but those dudes take their football pretty serious. And we have to remember he only went to DR because he wasn't called for España, so...
But why wasn't he called up for Spain tho? 🤔
I don't wanna demean him as I've loved his progress arc, from being a 'joke' to our starting LB, but we also shouldn't forget how terrifying it was when a PL winger was attacking him. Maybe it was JM's tactics, but he's not a good defender, that's all.
Yeah,that's a fair point. I would be nervous though if he was our starting LB next season in the PL (if we get promoted, obviously!) But if he was our backup behind a better LB defensively then I'd have no complaints there.
Yeah, you could well be right there mate, but personally, I wouldn't be too confident if Junior was our starting LB if we get promoted. I believe he'd be better than before but he's not a good enough defender for a struggling PL team though, imo.
