Something to get even more excited about.
Proper fans will be excited and applauding our ambishun in stumping up proper, proper big bucks for this top Watson-esque hidden gem.
A carefully considered, measured, canny investment.
Less proper fans and the usual unthinking types will no doubt be doing the precise opposite, as per…..quelle surprise.
Well done Watson, Andy Colesman et al.

Why do people say this? It’s just a lazy phrase that people think they should say about a tall player.
Why shouldn’t a tall player have skills? It’s never said about small players is it?
There was tons of people saying it on Twitter last night.
And at what height does a player become a ‘big lad’ and therefore qualify for this saying?

Shorter players are often considered to have a lower centre of gravity and are therefore more stable when twisting and turning with the ball, whereas its the direct opposite with taller players, hence why they have been traditionally been pigeonholed as battering rams. It’s not really rocket science, more common sense really.

Neath_Jack said:Not bothered about what is considered. Anything scientific to back any of it up or it’s just lazy soundbytes. Common sense doesn’t come into it.
