clint hill..........honest opinions

[Factamondo]

few months back even clint himself admitted he wasnt good enough.now i love clint as a professional n human being and against lesser teams he's worth a place but surely arry needs to get two decent centers in??....

[MattyRangers]

Clint was referring to playing LB in the Prem. As a CB I think he is pretty able. More games than not he has been superb for us this year, Liverpool was a mare for him, but then it was for the whole side. I think we all know he is no world beater, but he certainly does a job at CB. His lack of pace was highlighted by Suarez (although in fairness he mugs most defenders off, he is mustard). Clint does the bread & butter stuff very well indeed and has saved us on numerous occasions this year with his tackles.

I'd love to get a decent young CB with abit of pace to play along side Clint or Nelsen.

Its the fact that Clint cares ,when so many obviously dont , and were going to need him next season in the championship

[Factamondo]

i think of clint n think of the old chessey 70's classic 'love me love my dog'!..in a nice way!

[Wolfy]

He said he wasn't up to scratch as a left back. Agree we need two centre backs as I feel we need to strengthen this area as Hill is a good fill in but not a regular.

Clint's a great pro, we could have done with a few more with his attitude.
But, and it pains me to say this, the way Suarez made a monkey out of Clint on Sunday, means his time to move on has come.
Rumour has it, that Neil Warnock has made an enquiry about Clint, with a view to taking him to Leeds Utd. We should finally part company now.
But, love the guy, and will always look on Clint's time here with the greatest fondness.

Bit harsh I think - yes Suarez made me look a fool but Suarez does to alot of defenders he is one of the best strikers in the world. Hill has been superb this season, 90& of the games he has played in he has been solid. I, personally, am not reading too much into his showing vs Lpool - the whole team were dog $hit.

CH is not good enough , he has been thrown in at the deep end , and performed out of his skin ,cannot keep asking for this week in week out same as RN should have been sorted pre season

Might sound harsh, but we have to make the break sometime, and with a transfer window just opened, now just might be the right time.

Matty is right Clint Hill is a very good and solid centre half.

However his lack of pace will always be an issue when playing in the premier league.
He could probably still do a job next season, and I'd keep hold of him as a squad player when we are playing championship football next season.

Nelson has 1 more year and for me he would be immense in the championship, has enough quality's to be 1 of the best centre halfs in that league.

[qblockoompah]

Would defo keep Hill, but my starting pairing would be Nelsen and Mbia, provided we sign Diame

I can understand what you are saying with regard to a possible future in the championship, but our focus should be all about staying in the premiership, no matter how slim a chance we have.
The time to plan for a campaign in the championship, will be when that dreaded 'R' appears next to our name in the league table.

Hill and Nelsen would always be first choice CB's unless we bring someone of world quality who knows how to fight for survival,in.

Hill has been a great servant to the club along the lines of MacDonald, Barker, Ainsworth. Not the most talented of players but what you see is what you get, drive, determination, die hard spirit, captains qualities all of them. Brings the best out of others and can galvanize a team. Keep him until at lest the end of the season, I'd rather sell Ferdinand, Boswinga and send Fabio back than get rid of Clint
