Elephant

2 wins in 21 games, no other team with these stats have survived in PL. Obviously we have chance because other teams are so poor. But no team that has started (and continued) the season with our stats has survived in this league, so hopefully we are first. Even Norwich has won 4 games.

100 million is not worth any points, we still have to win games to stay in PL. I’m glad we spent that much, but it’s not worth anything unless we do better on the pitch. Some people seem to think that spending money means staying in the league, but it would still be almost miracle to stay in the league with our record so far.

Yes, some people seem to forget that going into February, we have only won 2 games in PL. It’s long and hard survival fight ahead of us and we only signed one attacking player during January. I personally will already start preparing for season in Championship and hopefully these new signings will stay with us there.

Took it from Transfermarkt

Hope somebody tells it to Amanda, because I’m not sure if they are aware of that, because we definitely should be in for him.

So that nobody misunderstand me, I’m happy with Targett, Burn and Trippier, they make our defense better, especially Trippier. One thing also to remember that we have put about £93 million for Joelinton, Willock and Wood, so with them we have one of the most expensive top-3 in the league. Doesn’t really feel like it though. While waiting for Wilson and hoping for ASM to stay fit, they have to start performing alot better when it comes to scoring goals.

I remember hearing or reading somewhere that it had been studied whether teams facing relegation fight should buy defenders or strikers, good backline or proven goalscorers. And it’s always been about finding better attackers and getting goals to help keep safe. We went completely the other direction, so it will be interesting to see. If we get relegated now, questions should be asked about January.

Late bid for Hudson-Odoi, if Dembele goes there? Though it’s too late now.

I know this is joke, but seriously Müller is going nowhere, he is just trying to have Bayern change their contract policy. Can’t believe some journos are going for that.

Well we don’t know that we are, it’s just press making drama. Nothing concrete has actually happened.

Hope we don’t waste our last moments with something so unrealistic as this. Go for Origi or PEA, not for player who is pretty much agreed to sign Everton. Waste of time, unless we offer something really good, but doubt it.

Everton offers permanent deal and us loan? That’s just stupid, no way they are going to loan him when they have chance to sell him.

We need him to step up his game now, because after failing to sign new attacking players, he is our only hope when ASM gets injured. Bring back the form of last season!

God I wish we signed Eriksen now.

The cost of us getting relegated is so massive in so many ways, that for 5-months I would pay what he wants to keep us alive

There is no more time to complete anything new. We came in hoping to get Lingard and Ekitike, who would have given us more options, but failed. Why the hell did we leave this so late? Throw hailmary bids for PEA, Icardi, Dembele, Zapata, Carrasco or whoever. We need goals or we’re done. But as I said, it’s probably too late now. On positive note we have now great players for Championship and should come back quick hopefully.

We needed desperately more goals and we only signed Wood. Draws don’t keep us in league, so we have solid defense now, but if/when ASM gets injured, we don’t have any firepower. Feels like we are screwed now.

I would love for us to go for Dembele, Icardi or Auba late on - or all of them. We need goals and Wood alone is not good enough.

Most likely Targett

You are right, complete brain freeze on my part. Kurzawa was not the player who I was suppose to say was Thilo Kehrer.

Hope we get Carrasco or Dembele (probably off to PSG though). I wonder why we were never linked to Icardi. Hopefully we can also get Kurzawa from PSG, but I fear it’s too late to sort more than Burn, Targett and Ekitike

In Hoffenheim he did not play as winger, he was striker there. Only few games as winger, not used there much at all.

Well, in 89 games he has 5 assists, so not for that either.

Yes, it does. We didn’t sign him as midfielder, but goalscorer. He has played 89 games and scored 7 goals in PL. I like how he is playing now, strong and full of confidence, but failed in role he was signed for. However Ekitike has better stats than Joelinton, but that’s not exactly hard, because we signed Joelinton because of his great performance against poor Favre’s BVB.

I have exactly the same feeling about this, feels much like Joelinton’s signing.
