Most liked posts in thread: Charles Vernam

I wish him well like most of our former players, but my point about Vernam has always been about lack of consistency and the inability to perform on heavy grounds. He looked good at the end of the season but it was no coincidence that it was one of the driest Aprils for a long time. I'd guess he'll make a decent start at Lincoln and then either get injured or dropped by October. We'll see.

 

Correct. I think if you look over his career it would be fair to question whether he really believes himself all the time, i.e. if he had James Milner's attitude - he'd be playing in The Championship.

I do think Hughes would have got that side working better and he'd be a far better player and so I believe he's making a mistake going to Lincoln.

 

I think there's more in the locker of Pereira than Vernham and he's younger.

If Hughes can now get him, then he's a valid replacement.

Or Hughes, might not fancy him and has got better in mind.

Either way, I'm cool with it all.

 

I think he's made an error. Hughes was already improving him in that vital mental application capacity. He was far more bolder in taking the game by the scruff or the neck - which what we've seen from the great wingers over the past 100 years (well it feels that long )

So he could have learnt so much more from Hughes and even had a clause that said he went in January if there was interest from L1 or above.

Instead, he's gone to club that's gone down our very successful 2018/19 policy of undermining a good manager (i.e. Appleton) and then replacing him with an unknown of not great pedigree.

Vernham needs a strong manager - almost like a father figure. Hughes would have done that.

 

Theres absolutely no guarantee that the group of players we've currently assembled will be a success, the only thing guaranteed is that Vernam will get at least one season of league 1 football. Something he may never get at Bradford. All the rest is pure conjecture

 

He assisted walker last game of the season didn’t he?

 

We definitely can't have certainty, but prior to last season am I correct in thinking Eisa had a good fitness record? Fingers crossed his injury woes are behind him.

 

One of our all time greats.

Goodbye, sweet Prince, you are destined to be a King.

 

Very similar to Vernam

 

Vernam was a good player. A very good player for this level. Hughes could of helped him realise his best potential. But it is what it is. He now has a chance to showcase his abilities for his hometown club in a League above. Best of luck to him.

No need for people on here to get salty about it. Its just the way football is. Yes he was the type of player a team like us needs, but there is no reason for us to not be able to find better players to replace him with. Whether they happen to be permanent transfers, or a loan

 

I always admit when I'm wrong, it just doesn't happen very often. Last one I got wrong was Tom Eaves, thought he was just a useless beanpole but to be fair the lad proved me wrong.

 

I read their earlier, they aren’t so sure what to think other than they have stolen a player from the Bratfud Massif?

Notice how few have commented?

 

They're more concerned about losing players

 

I wish him all the best, on his day a good 4th tier player, shows how bad we are that some on here think this is a disaster.
For 75% of his City tenure he was Meh, played well under Hughes at the end of the season, against teams with nothing to play for on nice fast pitches. Not good enough for me if we’re looking at a top 3 finish.
Enjoy Lincoln Charles, hopefully see you in L1 the season after next!

 

What did Vernam have on his CV though?

 

You do realise we signed Vernham from Burton don't you

 

Good luck to Vernam. Lincoln have signed two of our better players from last season. But we did finish 14th in L2. Vernam showed flashes of brilliance but overall possibly due to injury and appalling management his time here was average. I’m not gutted by this. It’s a blow but doesn’t feel catastrophic.

 

And Burton were bottom of the league.

 

I think he's still at Lincoln.

 

Isn't that what a football forum is all about ?.
