Martin Kelly

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Kelly is going to be a very good player and his career is heading in the right direction. Nothing in it imo.

[MLB]

Kelly is better than that Walker at Spurs, in my opinion. Perception in football is a strange thing though. I think Spearing is better than Rodwell but you never here Jay mentioned as a potential England player. I don't think I've ever seen an impressive performance from Rodwell yet somehow he's rated as a £20 million player and is seen as a future international. I know which of the two I would rather have though.

Kelly is a better defender than Walker, but Walker is better going forward.. But there's only a couple of full backs in the world better than Walker going forward (Alves and Lahm) so he's not alone there Martin.

Kelly is better than Walker defensively and going forward in my opinion.

[Sangria]

My only concern for Kelly is him staying fit, he does that we got a player.

[fowler9]

Walker is like the defender version of Walcott, all pace and fuck all technical ability, it was laughable how he struggled going forward in the U21 Euros when the other teams doubled up on him

 

none of this sort of player would even be playing in the top division in Spain and it shows just how poor the english set up and mentality is that the likes of Walker and Walcott are rated higher than the likes of Kelly and Adam Johnson

If he was a packet of crisps he would be sea salt and vinegar - really tasty, not overwhelming

The attacking side of his game has come on leaps and bounds. He was very 1-dimensional last year, so I think I know where soleilrouge is coming from. But this year he's really started to mix it up and if he can improve his link-up play with the forwards, he'll be a proper full back, like Johnson, and not just a converted CH.

 

His one dimension was brilliant though, going past the fullback on the outside, getting to the byeline and put a cross in.

 

I wish we had other one dimensional players in this squad with the ability to do that.

But it didn't suit the players *not* trying to get on the end of the only option the driven cross. If we still had Owen he'd no doubt have 10 assists by now. But we don't. But he is adding to his game and hasn't stopped improving.

if we can get some young attacking players in the next couple years through that show the same potential as Kelly, Flanno and Robinson I would be quite happy tbh.

Yeah, me too. I thought Adjoran might be one of them, but for all his obvious ability he doesn't seem to be on the cusp.

No offence mate, but this is exactly what I mean. He isn’t a brilliant defender yet. He’s shown that he can be at times, but he makes quite a few elementary errors that can cost us matches by getting turned far too easily and losing players. And while this is to be expected of a young defender, it still confirms he’s got a long way to go yet. Also, if he is to become a right back who likes to get forward like Johnson that his finishing has to massively improve.

 

I don't want to talk the guy down as he has it to make it at the top level, but I also don't want him talked up as the be all and end all just yet.

 

I know what your saying his positioning off the ball has been poor at times and he's been caught out as you say that will come will experience,but when I say brilliant defender it might be a bit much though hes shown that its very hard to beat him, he has good strength and good pace from a standing start.

 

I reckon he's the type of player that will improve with a run in the team,playing week in week out.For his age I think he Is an incredible talent he's got every thing and seems like he has a good head on him.

I think its cuz he never came up as a fullback - right now going forward he looks really good - imo sometimes better than Johnson as he is not as predictable, but he does not read diagonal movement as well cuz he is used to playing in the middle and letting the game come to him defensively. He is big and quick and will get into a tackle. all good things.

Martin Kelly shades it for me , not much in it though

If fit I'd still have glen Johnson in the team in right mid-field

Both are good going forward and both can defend too

Agreed, Kelly is miles better than Walker. Rodwell is so overated its unreal.

Didnt he score a 20 yarder against the mancs once? Apart from that moment hes pretty anonymous.

Fuck it though, its been happenin since the days of Tommy Smith, fuck England and its media winnets.

Jesus.

Kyle Walker?

 

Theres kids on here mate, that opion shud be hidden in nsfw tags.

 

Thanks

[GUS]

Not one of Kelly's better games today but he never stops trying and he doesn't hide.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

From about 1:10 - I love the respect that he commands amongst his teammates..

Kelly's last season with us really if he doesn't get himself 100% right.

 

I can't even remember what he's like anymore, he just looked like Vernon Kaye.

[Megadrive Man]

A really big season for this lad.

 

according to the official site he is back in full training, and there are rumours that he is being earmarked for a centre back position.

 

Worryingly he is actually starting to look like Jonathan Woodgate judging by the pictures of him in training!

[JermainePennant]

Dont talk fucking shite

 

My thoughts exactly, fuck off there's only 2 better then him at attacking.We have 2 right backs at our own club from the same country as him, Johnson pisses all over him when it comes to attacking ability and its debateable between him and Kelly.

[The Flâneur]

Just wondering 

[robbiefowler9]

I think he might be dead.
