Nothing except create 23 of our big chances despite being injured most of the season.

We need to sign that Harry Wilson from Derby. He would challenge Gross for that starting position very well. I was very impressed with him when they played us in the cup. Exactly the sort of player we need. Only problem is he's not from the Dutch league.

I thank Gross for one thing, he is literally killing the credibility of these baffingly weird statto categories, here telling you Gross has had a good season [emoji57]

Based on yesterday’s third goal presumably Bissouma has also been told not to bother running back if he loses it as well? Should be dropped for that alone.

My point is he creates chances. You seem to think he is no good because he doesn't run around a lot!
What would you then do with Jocko McArgieface?

I've got a feeling he's going to be another Battiepiedi hence why we're getting him so cheap and untested.
Based on what?

The standard of the argentian league. The price we got him for (peanuts in comparison to your average Prem signing) and how we signed him and loaned him straight back even so we're desperate for better talent and in danger of relegation.
He's a gamble. I bet he'll get loaned out before next season begins to get him 'match fit'. He'll be a transfer policy project, similar to Percy Tau.

The Legend of 2018/19 Pascal Gross gets better with every completed fixture.
It's a shame posters don't realise the bleeding obvious:-
- Unless signed from the Bundesliga or the top of La Liga or Serie A, EVERY signing will come from an inferior league.
- £8,000,000 (?) isn't chicken feed.
- He was the 5th highest transfer in the January window. (Solanke £19m
)- At the time of the signing he wasn't needed.
But he is a fast, attacking midfielder who plays more as a second striker.
Sure he might not cope so well as right back and not getting a game until January might impede his progress, but come on.
Writing him off and deciding he's Battiepiedi without having seen him even kick a ball, is, even by NSC's standards, ridiculous.

I watched that with disbelief, both at the time - then on MoTD.... Can i create a new word called 'notgiveashittery' - of which he appeared to be guilty.

I just don't have a lot of confidence in our recruitment at the moment. God knows why?
are you confident he's going to be a good signing?
They are the same people, that I'll hazard a guess, you were raving about 12-18 months ago.
I know it's a guess but I'm fairly confident as anyone saying a bad word about recruitment then would have stuck out like a sore thumb.

They're the same people who signed Locadia 15 months ago. I've never raved about our recruitment since we've been in the Prem. Other than Gross, no one has really come in and had a massive impact since we've been in the top flight. The core of our team is still based around the lot who got us promoted (Dunk, Duffy, Stephens, March, Murray, Kayal, Bong, Knockaert etc.) The recruitment has been awful.
We;re spending £8m on players who we just loan back. Is that wise for a team who could get relegated to the Championship?

That (should-have-been-an-assist) was absolute top drawer.
Gutting to lose him for so long and see it wasted too.
At the time of the signing the team we're flying and one win away from challenging for the Everton Cup.
What would you have done with him?
Odd to dismiss Ryan, Jose, Propper not to mention Bernie in favour for Bong.
If only the recruitment team and managing trio of the club had done a Fulham.

We were flying last year? Pretty sure we were bottom half for most of the season (not that we were underachieving)
Which one?
I mentioned the core of our team still being heavily based around our Championship promotion team. Odd that you can argue that.
and there was me thinking we've spent over £120m on players since we've been in the Prem.
But it's not heavily based around 'championship quality' Dunk and Duffy, we were promoted with Premier League quality DnD.
Kayal and Bong have hardly played.
Stephens, March & Murray are exactly the sort of players you don't do a 'Fulham' with and throw out as soon as promotion happens.
