Sorry, I misunderstood because you said we sign 2 starters a year in the last 3 weeks, and we need to exceed that this time around.
My view was that if we sign 2 starters and one of them is a striker then I would be happy, along with maybe cover at fullback.
However, it seems you meant 2...
Yes - 3/4 signings sounds about right - but you said about 2 starters being the average for the last 3 weeks of the window and that appeared not to be enough…
How many starters do you think we need?
I would say 2 at most - the striker obviously but the others would be primarily backup? A backup CB/potential starter possibly but RWB and RB is Lampteys to lose when back from injury, and LWB is March’s to lose too, although if we got Cucurella then he...
There is no way we are weaker than last season… all the younger players have a year more experience, which is huge given how many young players we have.
Mwepu has joined and he is clearly a talent and the only consistent first team player to leave was our 3rd/4th best centre back - we will miss...
A discussion point only, I clearly don't have the answer, but I'm interested to know people's opinions
And yes, I know we haven't won it.. yet... maybe... but the team has still surpassed all the others since 1966, and yet I look at the teamsheet and wonder why?
Look at the players and compare...
But people were saying half way through the group stage that coming 2nd would be better because we would avoid the group of death in the next round… you can’t have it both ways, the draw has fallen how it has, and major nations have gone out, but the so called lesser nations have deserved to...
We look similar to the Italians of the 80s/90s - not convincing when going forward, take chances when they come, but very rarely concede chances and look pretty solid.
Not great for entertainment but effective in tournament football…
I had Bells Palsy when I was around the same age, woke up in the morning, took a drink of water and it all ended up on the floor... went and looked in the mirror and whole left side had dropped, thought I had had a stroke or something!
In the end it wasn’t too bad, ended up drinking through a...
Get rid of one of the best players we have ever had because he misses some chances?
Shall we also give Bissouma away while we are at it, as he likes blazing over as a midfielder?
We don’t just believe we can beat these teams, we do beat them... Liverpool/Arsenal beaten away, Man U twice, Spurs twice, Arsenal twice beaten at home...
Do you think we should be winning every single game we play?
Being happy with a point away at a Champions League semi finalist as a...
It’s not on either - it’s an independent video series that is on Vimeo - just google it and you will find it online. As a Seahawk fan I find it absorbing.
Great choice! Been a Seahawks fan since I was a kid, 35 years now - and chose them for the same reason, Seagulls/Seahawks.
You will find them as exasperating and frustrating as the Albion, and then some magic will happen and you will then see why you chose them.
I would suggest watching the...
I remember being pissed off that Shearer was still being picked by England when he had a barren spell of nearly 2 years without scoring... and I thought that then it was Fowler who should have got his shot.
However, if you are only going to use goalscoring as a metric, then if you go by the...
I wanted to say Fowler, because as far as I am concerned he is the best finisher I have ever seen... but he really didn’t play much for England at all, even less than Wright, which was a travesty.
Is Gascoigne a fair comparison? He was never a striker, he was a midfield playmaker.
Surely Ferdinand and Beardsley would be better comparisons in that era? Probably the same result I suspect?
