Did he have an umbrella with him?

West Ham are hilarious. No matter how much they spend (and it's a relative fortune), they're constantly fucking shit

Tedious and predictable as fuck. Might as well just accept he's gonna score 15+, we sold him far too cheap/wouldn't use him coz Rafa's a stubborn bugger and lock this thread. He scored 9 in that ratbag bunch o gutless cunts Mclaren team as a 20 year old with no experience of the league, it's hardly a surprise that he's doing well 3 years later with a team tailored to him ffs.

Man City v Newcastle Utd. pre match thoughts 5.30pm kick off 01/09/18 (BT)
LionOfGosforth replied to a topic in Football
I have faith Rafa could come up with a reasonable strategy to eke out a result with the right players at his disposal. No faith whatsoever the current group are competent enough or have the guts and confidence to implement it. 0-5. -

Pre-Season 2018/19: Newcastle United 0 - 1 FC Augsburg (FT)

What a way to treat anyone, let alone such a dignified, humble and decorated manager. Disgraceful. -

Christ, this club just drains you -
Why would you mention Abraham before Bats? Bats here would be ridiculous. Personally I think Abrahams would fit Rafa's plans better. He's big and mobile, and while not as polished ans Batshuayi as a finisher, I think he's got more raw potential. I want Bats, we'll never bid let alone get him. But I really want Bats here, he'd be perfect for us. Genuinely not seen enough of Abraham to have an opinion. Isn't that the berk who kicked the ball into his own face at the WC?

Mate, I enjoy your optimism and player appraisals. However, the chances of us doing literally anything at all in the transfer market at this stage, much less splashing out the required green for this lad, are akin to me getting my balls tongued by Mila Kunis. The balloon has finally gone up with most of our support. The fat man will not sanction anything and is actively taking our money now and trolling us and Rafa. Has been the case for the whole Rafa tenure really.

Given 3 years ago he managed 9 in that shitheap gutless Mclaren team as a 20 year old with no experience of the league, i'd be stunned if he didn't hit 10+ This. If he starts the majority of games I'd expect him to get double figures. I mean he's now 3 years more experienced and he's now at a club who actually want him and will play to his strengths. Barring injury, i'd say 10-15 was a knocking bet.

Hopefully FFS. Is anything ever definite with the offits who run our club

"He can bring us energy". Fuckin hell, that's the least enthused i've ever heard Rafa about a signing. Get rid.

Florian Lejeune (now playing for Rayo Vallecano)

Fuck's sake, that's the season lost for him, poor sod. -
Not really like. If we had any intention whatsoever of playing him sometime then maybe but we clearly want rid and Fulham know that. Surprised we even got £22m tbh Spurs regularly get fees like that for players they clearly don't want and don't rate. They bought Kevin Wimmer for £4m, played him 15 times in 2 seasons and sold him to Stoke for £18m. They'd negotiate an enormous fee for Mitrovic given the last six months. Its Spurs though. I think Wimmer is shit but if you're on a bigger teams' books people just assume you're good. Also those kind of teams don't need to sell to buy so they can just name their price. Spurs probably would have happily kept him just in case. Mitro clearly isn't wanted by Rafa, we clearly need to sell to buy and <b>he hasn't really shown that much in the PL anyway</b> Most of your post I agree with but this craic needs to stop like. Don't know how many appearances he made exactly in 15/16 or minutes on pitch off the top of my head, but 9 goals in that fucking shit heartless Mclaren team destined for relegation isn't "not showing much". He was 20, from another country, thrust into our shit-show and expected to save the day.
