So we are left with the unproven in the case of Ali j, jug, andone and trossard, injured izzy and inconsistent march and have received a fee we have proved buys you very little and yet it is seen as a good move by many.
Lots of work to do in the rest of the window since we are no stronger than...
I will keep saying this but why, with our current attacking options would we sell. We would be left with an injured Izzy, equally inconsistent march and unproven trossard, ali j and jugs. Are we that desperate for money that we need to accept the offer. And let's be frank I have zero faith in...
I would be very disappointed if we sold for 15M. This is not a team blessed with attacking options and yet we seem happy to sell at a price which our previous efforts at recruitment prove doesn't get you much. In wide areas we would be left with Ali J and Trossard, both as yet unproven, March...
Not high at the moment. The club seems to have taken the view that those who crunch the numbers in our recruitment department are right and CH wrong and the failings of a number of players last season was entirely down to him. Having witnessed the performances of a number of those players I...
I read that this morning and like you think we are planning to go with what we have up front. We all know that TB is a gambler, but this must be one of his biggest, it is a long time until January if it turns out that the recruitment team were wrong and CH right about the quality.
If I am honest I think the second half of the season was more reflective of the ability in the squad then the first. We were a little flattered by a trio of 1-0 wins and did play well against Man U and Crystal Palace, but we were reliant on the sharpness of Murray or set pieces for goals. I cant...
We are not talking about waiting for one signing from last year to come good, but talking about how 4 or 5 will all suddenly become premier league standard with a new manager in place. I would suggest that is extremely unlikely and a massive gamble if that is what the club are doing. I also...
Personally Potter will prove himself the greatest manager since Ferguson if he can get our one paced midfield and forwards to become dangerous and free scoring.
So midfield and striker an absolute must for me.
Having received the email, stopped what I doing, got a little excited, I was disappointed when it turned out to be about a signing for the ladies team. But it passed quickly.
I have tried to watch the ladies world cup and to be fair it is okay but not something that peaks my interest greatly. I...
I understand what people are saying about potential. But lets all be honest here. Unless we are looking at a back 3 for most of next season, which none of us know, it is highly unlikely that he will dislodge either Dunk and Duffy. And if Dunk or Duffy are sold, for around 30 - 35M you would...
Don't disagree but having 5 centre backs when, probably come the first day of training, we lack a RB, have lost two of our most creative players to injury and are still reliant on a 104 year old centre forward, with no pace there or in midfield, will, I feel rather hamper the new mangers...
Not at all what I was saying but feel free jump into club defence mode. I will say again, I see little to get excited by in this signing since the truly important work is still to come. Personally I would like to see some inroads made into that soon since training starts in a week or so. This...
I am another who is very Meh about this potential signing. Seems pointless to me unless Balogun is off. Frankly if Potter can turn the ponderous defensive, fearful team from the last 6 months into some attacking, vibrant goal scoring success without serious investment in midfield and forward...
Cant say as it stands that I am in any way confident about next season. I thought the sacking of Chris was correct, the club appeared to have gone stale and fearful and that needed to change.
But even had Chris stayed I am of the opinion that we need experienced, proven quality in midfield and...
Why do people always assume car drivers are lazy and entitled. My son is disabled and cant travel by bus. For him to enjoy days out etc we have to travel by car. There are lots like me for whom a car is vital.
I get why the line up is as it is, but it doesn't stop me being a little disappointed. We need pace up front so the sooner Andone or locadia are fit the better. I don't see Murray being as effective this year. Hope I'm wrong.
I was a little down on this happening last night.
But strangely the media silence everywhere including nothing from the Argus apart from our interest has lifted my hopes. I just feel the club wants this locked down for a big reveal or at least I hope.
