If he’s still on a plane from Paris, does this mean that he still needs to do the dreaded fitness test (assuming he’s headed for Brighton of course)....
Thinking about the difficulty with pronouncing his name (for some) I don’t much like Ally jaffacakes. IF he comes, how about Persian Ali....
Could be sung as:
Derup, der rup da,
Derup, der rup da,
Derup, der rup da,
Derup, der rup da,
Ali,
Oh Persian Ali,
Runs down the wing for me...
I was confident about this one and think it would be a great signing. However now it’s taking too long. I think there must be a hitch. I just hope it’s not a counter offer from Leicester but it looks worrying.
Saying that I will (hopefully) now have my usual effect and it will be announced at 12!
This could be a very exciting signing. One issue may be competition for Knockaert place in the team. After an average season Knocky was on fire in the last few games. Would this signing result in earlier substitutions and healthy competition or perhaps a sulking Knockaert? I’m also really...
I like Tomer. However I think he’s off. He made it clear at the end of last season that he wants more starts. I agree that I can’t seperate him from Murray. It’s also true that Locadia and Andone are largely unknown prosiects. With both I’m not clear if they will be best as a single forward up...
I have thought for some time that the success of the last few years has been due to exceptional team spirit led by a few ezceptional senior players. For me that has meant Calde, Rosenior and Bruno (although I note that many talk about Sidwell in the same way). For me these are not just players...
I think this one might develop. At the moment it looks like a delay. However many reports say Abramovic couldn’t operate without being close to Putin. MPs have been discussing the need to end Russian dirty money entering the UK. Following the spy poisoning relationships are at an all time low...
We have a real opportunity to get in new cover or better still upgrade the first team. We will have vavancies in most key positions from players leaving who haven’t been playing
Striker - Hemed
Winger - Skalak
Central midfield - Sidwell
Central defender -Hunemeier
Left or right back - Rosenior...
I notice that CH said the Albion players wouldn’t have played at Anfield before.
However Dunk will have vivid memories of the last FA cup game and this own goal
https://youtu.be/pRSJPTKw-i8
After that game finished 6-1 he clearly lost confidence and Poyet dropped him fir quite a while. I...
We will have to invest up front. Murray’s coming to the end and can’t be expected to lead the line all season again. Ulloa and Hemed will go. Locadia is still unproven. - However I think in the right position and fornation and with a preseason under his belt he will come good...
In theory we could still finish 9th. Worst we could do is to finish 16th
Additional merit money for each finishing place in the table:
9th. - £23.1m
10th - £21.1m
11th - £19.2m
12th - £17.3m
13th - £15.4m
14th - £13.4m
15th - £11.5m
16th - £9.6m
The differences are quite significant. Two...
We signed Locadia too late to give him a real chance to make a difference this season. We need to wait and see what happens after a preseason and allow CH time to adapt the tactics. It’s far to early to judge him yet...
It really feels as though our ground and team has come of age as we play the last really big club to come to the Amex. I’m just so proud of our ground and the way the club is run now. It seems the right time for a famous victory...
