villa absolutely the last team i’d want to play at the moment. cannot think of another team other than arsenal and city, who are more likely to put five or six past us. of course we all know what this means…

disagree. i mean obviously, buying more successful ones would be great, however although it’s not an exact science, broadly speaking a pl ready player to me is either one with pl experience, or top 5/european competition experience. i actually think it’s relatively easy to divide players up...

you volunteering?

3. lowest it’s been in years. hopefully that will balance out to a 5 once a couple of days have passed

i think it was more they didn’t see anyone paying the fee they’d want. the £70M or so arsenal were offering wasn’t going to cut it. but then boehly came in like the nutcase he is and offered what he did, which was far beyond what caicedo was really worth. i do think at that point, though, rather...

all started with selling the midfield in the summer and not properly replacing it. caicedo i can kind of forgive because i don’t think we saw him leaving last summer, but to replace mac allister with milner and dahoud was atrocious recruitment and clearly done on the cheap. then key holes in the...

accept it may be an anticlimax but i watched us play some of the best football in recent years under potter at the end of the 2021/22 season when we didn’t have anything to play for. the lack of application right now simply hasn’t been good enough

yes. and we need to clear out certain players. moder, lallana, milner, webster, dahoud not good enough. lamptey not reliable enough. a lot of work to do, but this is what happens when you fail to address recurring issues window after window

i believe we’re now at an 8 out of 10 on the ‘doing a poyet’ scale

better lineup than we can put out at the moment

sounds about right. get a dewsbury-hall type creative cm/am and get a ball-winning 6 who can sit in front of the back 4 and keep control

agreed with everything up until the milner comment at the end. he’s had one good game against spurs, other than that he’s been a complete waste of a squad space, and symptomatic of the club doing things on the cheap last summer

we all laugh but this has been the serious, uncompromising narrative from several posters on here for several months. delusional doesn’t begin to cut it.

call me crazy but i can actually see de zerbi ending up at west ham. don't think the top clubs will touch him at the moment, not sure west ham have convinced amorim, and RDZ would definitely be looking at the fact that they shelled out for kudus when we wouldn’t. they don’t have the squad for...

as much as it’s not our job to look for the manager, i’ll give some serious answers: carlos corberan marti cifuentes míchel franck haïse sebastian hoeneß eric roy francisco pimienta henrik rydström kieran mckenna kjetil knutsen sure some of those wouldn’t be what the board would want...

your post is correct but you have to ask why the players we have available end up compromising a side that would struggle in the championship. as others have said, we’ve got more than enough money and i do not accept there aren’t players out there in the market. what is the point of having...

yeah you’re right and that’s the really difficult part as i can also see us sacking him and then a yes man being appointed who won’t mind the massive profits not being reinvested, and then you end up with lallana’s contract being extended and moder and steele being kept around, which is how...

it’s hard because i think he’s been stiffed by an awful summer window, cheapskate replacements for big outgoings and too many rubbish/past it players being kept around. but if this is what he’s like when the going is tough then out. some won’t like to hear it but at least with potter there was...

and a sub group in group a that have seen this coming for months but haven’t mentioned it as they can’t be arsed being inundated with sanctimonious replies calling them entitled, crowing about our profit and reminding everyone that we used to play at priestfield
