City, Arsenal and Liverpool look strong and should be top 3 again.
Then, it seems to me that between us, Tottenham, Chelsea, Villa, Man U and Newcastle (maybe West Ham, but not yet convinced) the remaining Euro spots are up for grabs. Remember also there's the possibility of 5 CL spots now...
It's impressive, Im sure teams will start to adapt to face us, but I have more confidence in Hurzeler to respond to this than RDZ. Yesterday he noticeably shifted Baleba further backwards to protect Hinsh after Milner came off, and Hinsh seemed to be drifting inside more often.
My main concern...
Except you've posted on this thread more than twice as many times as anyone else. You're also banging on about it on other threads now too. There's critiquing and then there's this strange belligerent obsession.
We get it, you don't rate Hinshelwood. We heard you the first time, we still hear...
But there seems to be two approaches:
- not stand in their way and accept a pretty low offer (Gilmour, Burn, Mac Allister, Gross)
- hold out for the maximum possible (Caicedo, Cucurella, Undav, White)
The argument I guess is the ones where we accepted lower offers, they were model...
Mainly thinking that because after an unsuccessful spell in relegated Vitesse, his most likely destination is back to a top team in Romania, but perhaps cynical.
And yes, Gyokeres, Ostigard and Van Hecke all moved from overseas to EFL. Is Mazilu ready for EFL? Hard to know.
Seems a bit tenuous to me, to be diagnosing an injury with such specificity off the back of some match footage.
Is this how the 3 months claim came about too?
Worth noting that today is Deadline Day in the big 5 European Leagues.
But other leagues like Netherlands, Belgium, Turkey, Portugal, Austria, Romania have a few more days.
Foreign sales and loans not completed today doesn't mean they won't happen. Maybe relevant for the likes of Mazilu.
Supposedly 3 months, but how reliable that is I can't be sure, as the original source of that claim is hidden amongst all the meaningless bickering about how upset we should be or not.
Oh, he was a left back. Not sure how I had that tangled up.
Point still stands! Full back depth was desperately needed last season, he'd probably have got a go.
In recent years there have often been an academy signing or two on deadline day but no other incomings.
Focus will be on finding sales for Moder, Dahoud, maybe Lamptey.
And finding loan deals for Samuels, Offiah, Peupion, Cozier Duberry, Yalcouye, Weir, Rushworth, Mazilu, Turns, Atom, and...
And yet he reached the Europa League final with Rangers, and his replacement Duffy was an unmitigated disaster at Celtic. Goldson was always a good player, he just didn't reach his peak with us.
Celtic would probably be lower half PL level. Rangers have dropped off and now probably would be an...
How long is left on his contract? To be honest I'm a little surprised we're not selling.
I suppose if he had a good season but still can't get into our squad, he'll boost his value plenty. Or ideally he comes back ready for the first team.
