  1. Starting an inexperienced kid in the PL in the position that requires experience above all else. Honestly, it offends me how thick people can be at times, mind.
  2. I say that's a ridiculous suggestion. On loan to a Championship club who'll start him would be perfect.
  3. Yep. Rafa'a ruthless but there's got to be more to it than his awful kicking.
  4. It was absolutely falling apart at the seams when I went in 2004 to the point looking back I'm surprised it was UEFA approved or whatever. But wow, it looked so fucking good. Set against the sunset it's one of my favourite first hand images as a football fan.
  5. I meant re. the initial post, like. Every one of us should be worried at this point.
  6. Should have been pretty obvious I was being sarcastic. Apologies that it wasn't.
  7. Well the manager is not chilling about it that's for sure
  8. Vile human, signing for a vile club. Yep.
  9. Not in 2017 he's not. Well, Mitrovic/Perez obvs. He's injury prone, uninterested and firmly on the way down. Total wrong fit.
  10. Chill. We've got like a week till it's even August.
  11. Certs for relegation in my eyes Bookies view. That isn't the bookies' view based purely on our squad now, to be fair.
  12. Haidara, Lazaar, Krul, Riviere, Saivet and Hanley would save a few quid. It's hilarious to think the only one of that lot likely to fetch any real money is a decent Championship CB who has never played in the PL, nor is he good enough to. We really have so many abject players on our books. Hanley played a fair bit in Blackburn's relegation season. Scored the winner at Old Trafford IIRC. Your point still stands though, obviously. For some reason I thought they'd bought him from someone else after they were relegated. I stand corrected.

  14. If that was true I think Rafa would be on the phone to his agent telling him to find another job ASAP.
  15. OK. ? That's their positions, what's your problem? No problem. But we aren't going to see Ritchie and Murphy in much direct competition with each other. They'll probably both play. Murphy is better on the left from what I've seen anyway.
  16. I don't think we'd have spent £10m+ on a player for the bench, like. Not when our starting Xl is still woefully short of PL quality in the attacking positions.
  17. Aarons getting more game time. I wonder if Rafa sees him as a starter this season. Over who?
  18. They play completely different roles, especially in a hypothetical system of Rafa's. When we buy a pure and proven defensive midfielder it'll be the end of Colback, and obviously it can't come soon enough. Not because I like the role fwiw, in fact it's a bit of a pet hate. But Rafa will always play one or two of them in his midfield.
  19. I think he'd look as good as Iniesta. Not Xavi, though.
