I agree and something I’ve been guilty of at times while watching the games.
For me I think it’s just the regression because we have been great in some games and we seem to have lost our confidence which is frustrating. When thinking rationally I’m much more accepting that we are going to have...
The formations and the team selections are the issue.
I genuinely believe if Potter gave a few of the “out of sorts” players a run in the team then we would start to see a change in fortune and levels of performance.
Tross is a perfect example, been in and out of the side in a variety of...
He was just as poor against Fulham.
Playing some quite strange cross field balls and generally giving the ball away.
I’m not buying the “it was the pitch”
The reasons for these players loss of form isn’t rocket science.
The constant changing of the line up and being in and out of the side... simple as that.
Hats of for mentioning at least 3 players who were an utter waste of £
Your right of course in most regards, however in the last 2 windows we have spent far more on potential future prospects than we have on players ready to help the first team.
Also you’ve mentioned 7 players which have been...
I don’t think iam, but maybe your right.
It doesn’t make me wrong though, just in my opinion we seem happy to spend fees on potential and prospects but not on any players for ‘now’
Absolutely it’s about getting the balance.
And we don’t know he is going out on loan so it might all be a pointless topic I suppose.
Just the frustration after watching so many poor performances that when we are spending cash it appears to be mainly focused on players who we are looking to...
I’d love that to be true, however we constantly are in the market for ‘future’ and ‘potential’
Two Polish lads, Zequiri, and possibly now another.
That’s probably the best part of £20m and we didn’t want to pay up for Dia when we had the chance.
That doesn’t look like a club that is capable...
If it’s true that we are buying him to loan him I will finally accept we have no desire or intention to remain in the PL.
Spending money on potential is a great idea, however not when you have glaring issues in the first team squad.
I’d agree with all but one of that
Trossard - 1
Didn’t find one single player with a pass ... ran into dead ends... awful pen ... doesn’t look interested
Wondered that myself.
Was a French football journo on Twitter last week who was quoting him coming here as a done deal, Jeremy Smith I think his name is
I think that could be the aim long term.... I’m sure that won’t throw them both in and will be eased in with Propper and Alzate etc providing depth until they are ready.
Develop ?
Assume you haven’t listened or read Tim Vickery’s opinion on him.
This isn’t a development project IF we get him... sounds like a very much now signing with a big future upside
