Is there any other sport where the refs are so badly treated by the players?
-
Ajax manager has confirmed it, apparently.

Really hoping that we go for a winger/striker type rather than Carroll now. We have a very good first eleven but we're very sparse in terms of depth. A couple more decent signings will improve us massively, let's hope they're incoming.

Neither have ever kicked a ball in the Premiership man, if they prove capable then great but I don't feel at all comfortable relying on them. Bigi has played a lot of games in the CC and seems to be a great talent. I wouldn´t have any problems at all to play him. Funny enough you have to make your debut sometime. That, and that I rather play him than Raylor, Gosling or perch in midfield. He's 18 man, you want him to come on as a sub a few times and look comfortable and maybe play a few cup games before you have him in the first team, expecting him to run the midfield against one of the best teams in the league. Think some people are getting carried away with this idea of us having some promising youngsters for the first time in forever. Truth is that most of them won't make it, if we get one or two first team players from the group of Tav, Good, Ferguson, Abeid, Bigirimana, Vuckic, Sammy and the others then we'll have done well.

Sessesgnon would be a brilliant signing tbh, would love him here. Would never happen though. That Sky Sports ad about the Ji goal against Man City is amazing btw, the fucking cut of your man.
-
Aye, actually enforce the rules and book anyone who talks back even at all. Couple of weeks of that and the problem would be solved.

The neck on him of all people calling anybody ugly.

Ba on the right?! He'll love that. That starting eleven is what I expect though. -
Delighted for the lad.

As if Ba is going to play on the left. It'll be 4-4-2. -
Nice headed clearance there.

Reckon they'll sack the manager like.

Produce some really good technical players Mexico. Fuck Mexico.

I don't see why Marveaux can't play in the centre of midfield for a few games, even though I think he'd be far more suited to playing wide. The kids may not be up to playing too many games but they are going to have to play sometime or they'll never progress and I'd rather take a risk in midfield than in defence or up front. The only time we'll know if the kids are good enough is by playing them, we don't need to play the kids for a full season as we have Tiote and Cabaye. Like I've said, if we bring in the other players that we need then this is a good signing. And what if Cabaye or Tiote gets a serious injury and are out for months on end? We need another CM, and signing one who can also play LB has to be a good thing as even if we sign Debuchy and sell Simpson we have no depth at fullback. As for the kids needing a chance, how is that any different for the likes of Tavernier and Good in defence?

Kevin Kyle coming on.

Great finish tbf, hit it sweetly.

Rangers losing.

Our only backup to our two main forwards is an injury-prone 1 goal in every 5 games player. I'd prefer to use any of Abeid, Marveaux, Bigirimana or Amalfitano in midfield for a few games than have to rely on Williamson again at the centre of defence. Marveaux isn't a CM IMO, at least not in a two man central midfield. Amalfitano we don't know much about, so perhaps you can make a case for him. As for chucking in one of the kids, I think some people are getting carried away with us actually having some promising youth prospects for the first time in forever. I like having them in the squad, but chucking them in before they're ready isn't the way to go.
-
How is it any different from signing a striker or a CB then? A fullback is the most pressing need, most people would agree on that. You could make a case that Williamson is a more competent backup at CB than any of our squad CM's would be if Tiote or Cabaye went down. You might make the same case for Shola at CF.
-
Will be delighted with this signing if it happens, our depth at fullback and CM is more or less non-existent. Yes we need other signings, and hopefully we get them, but a CM was also very much needed. The fact that he can cover at fullback only makes it all the more attractive.
-
Hope they do sign McGeady like, he's never played a good game for Ireland. Ever.

Scum. Subhuman scum.
