You never got the adoration? Because he was one of the best defenders we've had in a long, long time.
Grass not always greener, as many have found out. I get it that he wanted to keep his World Cup chances alive....but if the two sides' current trajectories continue as they are, would he have been better off staying?
Pinnock possibly, probably given what he's done since (we'll see where Helik ends up), but as for rest, no way. Solbauer was excellent for us no doubt, but a big part of that was just his experience and guidance he gave us.
Some of the older ones on here put him aside players from the 70's and 80's. They've obviously watched a lot more of us than I have. He was absolute quality.
If Huddersfield go down he can forget another Championship club. Nobody will touch him after the stench and losing mentality of consecutive relegation.
Never did Aaron Ramsdale any harm - got a move to Arsenal after 2 relegations - record three relgations in 4 years
Pinnock was a better defender than helik for me comfortable with the ball at his feet,strong, good in the air and read the game really well... if helik goes on to have as good a career as pinnock and play in the prem id be very surprised
