Elliot Embleton

[Shiggy]

Just been recalled by Sunderland from Derby, potentially with the view to loaning him somewhere else…

 

[poolseasider]

No thanks he's only played one game and been out injured rest of the time.

 

[Prendergastly]

If fit, he would work in the current system

 

[Always tangerine]

Hes not fit, not likely to happen.

First word of your reply

 

[Simonized]

Please no and not what we need so just let go.....

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Remembered for that wonder goal but little else.

 

[Cleveleys boy]

I thought he was decent..But has been crippled with injuries so it's a no from me

Exactly this ☝

I remember his spell differently. We had nobody that could play between the lines and he succeeded where other recruits failed, namely Ben Woodburn. Was a vital piece of the jigsaw in our promotion season. Obviously, needs to play in the right position.

Exactly this.

Not really. Was vital in many other ways, particularly in helping us develop through the middle of the pitch, something we had been desperately missing before he arrived.

Was a big reason we got promoted in the end.

You expect Critchley to play anybody in their correct position?

He was pretty anonymous in reality and apart from a couple of good goals, he was average at best.

The 'correct' position according to who, exactly?

Selective memory there methinks. He was a regular starter and contributed a great deal. Pretty anonymous in the play off final but played out of position as Simms was crocked.

 

[Chunkylad]

Who in the main starting line up would you leave out?

 

[xSEASIDERx]

Was a tidy player who could play in numerous position think a few are being a tad harsh on here.

"The midfielder joined the Rams in September, but after suffering a thigh injury after two games, he underwent surgery before returning to Wearside to complete his rehabilitation.

With the January transfer window now open, Embleton has formally returned to the Club as he continues his comeback to full fitness."

I dare you to watch any of those games back and any we won well and come back to me on it.
He was bang-average and like Critchley this time who has too many favourites and he was one back then too.
People are conditioned into believing that a player is doing well because they always play, but I tend not to get sucked into that trap.

He plays in the unglamorous work horse position, so doesn't attract attention. He did a fine job for us.

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

Typical AVFTT.

"Apart from just getting us promotion, he was a pile of shite."

 

[hills98]

I thought Embleton was very good for us with the potential to be excellent. Pretty sure Sunderland thought so too when he first went back, because they rated him from what I saw and read and picked him regularly until he started getting injured.

Doubt he's coming here though.
