Like fan fiction. Dirty football romance novel type shit. I remember the amount of fans who said he can't play through the middle. It was so weird, knowing his technical capabilities More or less saying our #10 shirt, wor Hatem versus the position.

Elliot should stay down injured. Fucking cunt getting himself fit or close to it is the worst thing that could happen.

God damn it he should still be our #10

Quick Wise-scouting tells me he's a 20 year old winger, and that the way he runs reminds me a bit of Cristiano Ronaldo. That future profit I'd settle for him over Narsingh

Fucking chuffed for him.

No weirdos please

Finished as a human being

I think I read that Cole ultimately had issues being in the city BC he was a quiet and shy lad and was unable to cope with basically being everyone's hero and all that.

Young naive player making stupid comments isn't a shocking thing. He could have handled it better I'm sure but regardless fantastic find by KK and a brilliant finisher. Read a few KK books and all of them go into detail how much he challenged Cole and the absolute balls of KK to sell our 9 and replace him with Ferdinand and then supplement with Shearer. What a visionary man.

Always love watching the Big Hits DVD with him scoring that hat trick versus Liverpool - purely clinical.

There was a home match that Ben Arfa and Marv came on as subs and Pardew scapegoated the fuck out them

Aye luuk was confused as his brother playing in the #10 role for the most rancid football team I've ever seen and can't shoot. Sucks that fella, can't work for Pardew can't work for anyone like.

Agreed.

Need this fucker to stay fit. Need players at this club to stop getting hurt ffs

I think we'd still fail to break teams down, hence why I'm still banging on about this "fantasy" land team, but it's painfully obvious we create very little, have a weak CM, and a weak back 4 (as a collective).

Maybe but no offence but that's kind of fairytale stuff that is never going to happen. That's 5 really good players we'd have to add and that's without even getting someone instead of Colo I'm simply stating the only way things will start working for us is if we do that. I don't believe we'll be doing that. I believe we're going to struggle all season.

Sissoko is one of our best players and I really do love watching him destroy people on the counter, but I'm convinced the only way forward for our team is to build a midfield spine of Wijnladum + New CM/DM, Ayoze and Mitrovic up top, and 2 genuine real wingers with blistering pace to stretch and get beyond their fullbacks and deliver crosses to Mitrovic and Ayoze. This also includes adding a new LB to balance that left side as we are incredibly weak on that side right now.

Perez has more to his game. What we could really do with is a proper AM which is what I thought De Jong was. Seems like most regard him as a poacher good at making late runs similar to Nolan without appetite for tackling. Our Proper AM is Wijnaldum. Who should be central with a destroyer if we are going to go with this system - someone with the legs to be able to cover the width of the pitch relatively well and be able to contribute in attack. A position we shouldn't be buying cheap, one that probably needs the amount we paid for Thauvin, a 23-26 year old DCM/CM with strength, pace, and technical ability. We also then need to fix our left side to make this all work and that's signing a legit LW and LB. Sounds about right, although I would say for a CM/DM role, it's so important that it's not necessary to stick to an age ceiling of 26 yr old. Gareth Barry must be getting on, but he's still better than anything we've got in that part of the pitch. There's so much money in the game at the moment that it's daft to look at sell on potential in every single position, especially CM and CB. Aye you're right, the age bracket was my ideal scenario - but yes, any good and reliable DM from 19-32 would do for us. But obviously our powers at be have an issue with signing anyone older than 27-28.

We aren't as cutthroat and ruthless in attack as we need to be. We also don't create nearly enough chances, more half chances than anything. Our service into the box is heavily dependent on Sissoko & Janmaat (to a lesser extent). Ayoze creation and linking up play is also crucial and his movement is brilliant. We will get better only when we get rid of the central pairing of 2 holders and have Wijnalum + partner and add real genuine wingers who can deliver the ball from the wide areas to our mountain of a CF.

Nothing more sickening than brummie retreading all the shit we were going on about with Garde including the adidas trainers etc. Fucking hell.

Didn't like what he did, but more issues with our inability win matches than his acting gig

As much as I like De Jong, I know he should be sold back to holland so he can salvage his career. Thauvin I'm willing to give time to but he's gotta earn it and I'm willing to give him time. We need another Mitrovic and another Perez second striker of varying talent. We need to stop buying #10 hybrids too

CB CM LB GK, backup RB and striker. Eventually need natural width as well with real wingers Mitro, Perez Wijnaldum + new CM, Mbemba + New CB + new GK need to be our spine come January. Add to that a left back. Eventually need to figure out a good pacy winger who is first team quality too.

Blah blah blah but will be gone soon comments are kind of annoying.
