[Albion] Knockaert joins Fulham on initial one-year loan

[Stat Brother]

We beat Palace last season with 10 men.

That night we could have beaten palace with 10 grandmothers.

You asked how many of our players have it in them. Solly March does.

Should never have sold Skalak if that’s the rationale for keeping players.

could have been 10 for a lot longer

Maybe, kind of nullifies his point though, no?

or 10 "your mum's"

Eh? Are you forgetting Duffy was sent off in the first half when we beat them 3-1?

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Isaac Hayden and Maupay? Are you serious?

Our first 11 and squad will be weaker than in previous seasons.

In your opinion

 

[Nixonator]

In your opinion

Nope, it’s pretty categoric. We shall see.

 

[doogie004]

And in that reply you’ve shown exactly why you get slated.

Yeh because I go and watch the matches as opposed to sitting at home guessing

Yes indeed my apologies.
So we went from AK's goal and potential sending off to a different game where we beat them with 10 men, your point being that we can survive a season with multiple sending offs?
To be honest I don't remember AK's performance in that game once he came on, the excitement of the end of the first half overruled any memory of what followed.

So we swap Knockaert for Trossard, and add 2 other players, and in your opinion our squad is worse than before?

lol yep it was that sort of game, all the luck seemed to go our way, a dodgy penalty too, thank you Mr. Friend.

Quote from Planet football...Re: Premier league
Overall, we have found that teams with 10 men go on to lose 59% of matches, winning just one in five.

Isn't that better than our average with 11 players?

Trossard will have to take over from somebody familiar with this division. We have no right back. Everyone is a year older. Hayden is not an improvement on what we already have. Add a championship striker and hope he adapts.

Weaker.

Don’t get me wrong, we can barely win with 11 men, but you were saying how different it would have been if he’d been sent off against Palace, I simply pointed out that we’d already beaten that team with 10 men, nothing more, nothing less, just stating a fact.

that’s sad if it’s true, but also kind of funny, in a sad way

You can hardly argue it’s much stronger, and remember, of the 17 surviving Premier League teams from last year we are the worst.

No, Solly takes over from Knockaert, Trossard from Locadia. Andone and Maupay will initially operated as back up to Murray, until one proves capable of becoming first choice.

Hayden has plenty of Premier league experience as a DM, something Propper is not cut out to do.

Who would you suggest we go for?

Right back needs sorting regardless.

I had newcastle/west ham on in the background this morning. Hayden was the best midfielder on the park by some distance in my opinion.

My newcastle ST holding pal is gutted that Hayden is looking likely to go.

It depends if we can buy two more players and what quality those two players are.
