Fwiw I'd love him back here because he's blatantly got loads of talent and that's first and foremost what I want to see in the wide positions. I doubt he'd gel well with Rafa, though, so it's pointless thinking about it.
Aye, no middle ground between two traditionally top-tier clubs transformed into title winners by billions in investment and Huddersfield 'lets stick it reight up thissen' Town.
Given that we're obviously so reliant on his pace out wide might it have been prudent to buy a winger with serious pace in the transfer window?
We didn't need him, though.
They're an awful tinpot club managed by an awful prick in an awful city populated by mostly awful people. Don't need a mini-Stoke in the PL to go with the original.
I find it very difficult to imagine you've seen him play much this season. That is king-sized tripe.
Physically he unfortunately just isn't the same player he was at West Ham. Not even close.
His legs have just gone. It's a shame because I like him and I still want to see him starting more games than not but he's just never physically there for 90 minutes.
It's only important because there's a chance we might not.
As others have said we needed a couple of quality attacking players to help us break teams down and establish a foothold in the game at home. We inexcusably didn't get them and as a consequence promotion will go down to the last couple of fixtures.
I didn't go to the game but the fact we surrendered 70% of the possession in the first half and (according to most) were persistently hitting long balls to Dwight Gayle suggests absolving Rafa of all blame is equally as stupid as the posts you're referring to.
14 years to day since we were playing Inter off the park in the Champions League and it's now hard to be too pissed off about getting dicked at home to the 7th best team in the Championship? Aye, OK.
