  1. Rotating with two games a week, suspensions, injuries?
  2. By signing a pure left back could we go with a Wing Back system Sels Mbemba Lascelles Clark Yedlin New LB Hayden Diame Ritchie Mitrovic Gayle
  3. Yep, consistency is needed at the back and at this point he can't be trusted to stay fit.
  4. Have a feeling the 'right' right winger wasn't available at the right price. Rafa has experimented with Anita and Gouffran, who has earned a minor reprieve, and we will persist with these until better become available and focus our finances on strengthening other aspects of the team.
  5. Probably signing Ritchie and Gayle very early in created expectations for the rest that are hard to live up to. We immediately signed the best two players available to us, but there are only a finite number of those types of players, the rest have been somewhat a drag. Last time around we only got Simpson and Routledge who were capable of climbing the division with us (although I thought it a shame we couldn't have kept van Aanholt too)
  6. We should consult Martin Lewis' website for the best exchange rate of today.
  7. NUFC Spurs Rangers Barcelona Copenhagen 7/1
  8. What about James Ward-Prowse? Would take big money but he seems to have found himself as 4th choice for his position so looks to have stagnated a little. Would take big money but we have raked in big money for transfers and we could build our midfield around him.
  9. That is the creepiest post since SGrey. Go away weirdo.
  10. Completely in favour of this, While Harper was at the club predominantly as second choice keeper, the first choice often said what a good coach he was to them and so have a lot of young players. Always giving good advice and always preparing his selection rival well ahead of the upcoming fixture. While he was here we have had three young keepers who eventually got picked to represent their nation at major championships. Most clubs don't even produce one of these a generation. Harper and Smith (who presumably recommended) will make great coaches of our keepers for years to come.
  11. RIP. Never agreed to the use of tasers
  12. Our last Championship team were more comfortable on the team in defence, and more determined and aggressive in midfield and up front. Plus a competent keeper. We have none of that this time. Never wanted to slap a player more than Anita tbh!
  13. What we need now is some Greeks.

    Remy Cabella

    True but it makes me think of those poor lost souls that may never be found by their families

    Remy Cabella

    Was starting to think there was something dodgy going on tbh (lower UK tax rate) so glad to hear he is officially off our books.

    Paul Dummett

    He is a limited player. He offers something as a squad player but in the other hand his injury record isn't what you want from a squad player.

    Paul Dummett

    Pretty much this. If he was foreign with tats he'd have a cult following by now, but he's just another local lad getting dogs abuse from the shoes off, 3-in-1 haircut, Soccer AM bred mongs we have following the club nowadays. What a load of rubbish,the fact that Dummett is a geordie lad is the reason people for a long time have defended him He's a poor bottom half possibly, midtable championship defender. No player gets the benefit of that on here, like. Rightfully so. At the match players from the area definitely get afforded a bit more patience. This is true. Fans will always want to see local players succeed, it's natural. Dummett is extremely average but could still be a useful player to have across the 50 games. If we get thrown a few million our way then fair enough, but I'd be inclined to keep him this season. How much do you reckon? I'm thinking somewhere between 2 and 4 million. Somewhere between 2.9 and 3.1 million if you ask me.
  18. Paul Pogba is available for £130m. We should be in for him. Strong and also pacey.
  19. Sels - Dodgy as fuck - 2 Janmaat - Tried to make things happen - 6 Hanley - HOOOOOOOOOOOF - 1 Lascelles - did generally ok but not great- 5 Dummett - usual mediocrity - 5 Anita - Turgid - 0 Colback - usual shit - 1 Hayden - showed potential - 6 Ritchie - we need to get him on ball more - 6 Perez - We can't rely on him to do it all by himself, that is where he struggles - 5 Gayle - never really had a chance - 5 Aarons - 5 Armstrong - 5 Shelley - 5
  20. Oh well Fulham have always been a bogey team and our new players haven't clicked yet. We will sort this out.
  21. For all of the control and balance Rafa has been speaking about for the last few weeks, we have none. Sels looks as dodgy as fuck. Janmaat has been ok on the ball, but the three other defenders and Anita have been extremely sluggish in the ball, so we haven't taken the ball out of defence well at all. Mbemba would help there. We haven't really brought Ritchie or Gayle into the game yet, what little they have had they have shown good glimpses. We can expect Perez to provide all the creativity / target man, the ball won't stick to him so we need to bring the midfielders closer to him. It's a shame Diame or even Sissoko aren't on the bench as these would help here.
  22. He is useless. Can't play under any pressing.
