Charlie Cresswell

[Ilderton Wanderer]

Suffered a fractured eye socket yesterday at West Brom, don’t know how long that would keep him out for but has to be a doubt for our upcoming matches. Shame for him because he has really found his feet of late but at least it gives Hutch a chance to get back in.

 

[Stowwall]

Painful, and a setback for the lad and us. He's been immense while Hutch has been out. Hutch is back to full fitness.
Need everyone to play their part.

Did wonder after he stayed on that time bandaged and covered in blood. Not good to hear. To me he's old school wall, brave as a lion. Hope we won't lose him.

 

[cold blow]

That's a big loss and maybe the last time we see him in a Wall shirt.

 

[HastingsLion]

Stick a plaster on it and hopefully see him Friday

 

[robbo555]

That's probably him done for the season. Unless he wears one of those stupid fucking masks.

Hutch is fit now but if he gets injured then only Murray or Leonard can deputise, so we are looking a bit thin at centre-back.

 

[silverlion]

Or give him a Lone Ranger mask to protect his eye?

 

[robbo555]

I must admit I thought he got done. It didn't look like an accident.

 

[albertrn]

Will be badly missed. Has given his all for us and never shirks a challenge.

 

[Bobwat]

He has definitely grown and improved as a player with us and will be missed if out for the rest of the season. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him doing a phantom impression.

He could 'turn the other cheek'!

I’d pay £2m for him at the end of the season. A very good prospect that’s showing signs of becoming a very good championship defender.

 

[kinelloz]

£2M? You're having a laugh Champs. He's an England U21 International, had a very good season with us, is young and is English. Leeds probably want to keep him, but no way they'd sell him for less than £20m. Just look at what English defenders go for in the PL. Ben White was £50m, even Djed Spence was £15m

 

[cold blow]

He was rated at £5M before he came to us and unless we get promoted cant see him staying.

 

[paddym]

Weeds are going down, we are going up

I think Leonard played centre back earlier in the season and looked very good there. So with him and Murray we do have some decent cover behind Hutch. Shame for Cresswell, he is a proper Wall type player and would be good to keep hold of even if it’s still a loan next season.

They might look stupid Robbo, but if the mask protects from any further damage then they are necessary.

 

[cold blow]

Doubt he will play in a mask with a fractured eye socket, they could not risk further damage by heading the ball or another head injury.

 

[Life with the Lions]

He was rated at £5M before he came to us and unless we get promoted cant see him staying.

I heard Weeds wanted £6M, but as old Charlie has improved so much under us, they will probably want £10M now!

Think there should be a clause in any loan players contract that if they go out on loan for a full season, and at the end of it another club comes in and wants to buy him, then whatever he sells for, 20% of that goes to the loanee club who helped develop him!

In the case of Zahore, we didn’t improve him because he was shit to begin with, so no club wanted him. Cresswell is completely different! Even the most biased, anti-Millwall Weeds supporter cannot but agree that we have improved his centre-half abilities for them!

A £2M payment to us for helping to sell a player on for £10M (and who came through the Weeds youth system at the age of 11), is still an £8M profit, whatever which way you look at it!

 

[Lions21]

I like his attitude would be very pleased if we had him for another season, he and Shackleton both seem to like it at Wall. Cresswell may not have the silky skills of a Ballard but he has a bit of Millwall grit about him.
