3-0 :frantic: This is gonna be our year :frantic:

Should've scored, obviously useless. Too late to get a refund? 28 day return policy right?

Nice touch with the wreaths

Would love to see us sign Grenier but I do wonder how you would make a balanced midfield accomodating the likes of Grenier/Cabella/Sissoko/de Jong. Most people are putting him with Tiote in the holding roles in a 4-2-3-1 but I would worry a lot about how much protection our defense would be getting from that. And let's face it, they're gonna need protecting. Of course you can rotate but I don't imagine us paying the kind of money needed for anything less than a bona fide first team player

Hatem is a beefcake tbh

Yep.

Pretty scary looking dude Would cross the road if I saw him up ahead on a dark night

How much more activity are you guys seriously expecting to see from us after these two (Janmaat and Riviere)? Not hoping for, but expecting...?

:lol:

Got a bad feeling about this

vom

He'll soon have that hammered out of him

How is it looking like a 4-3-3? If anything I'd say 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-1-1, not that there's much difference between them in practice

I'll be amazed if we've spent that much on him. Club must rate him very highly to get Ashley to spend that fee.

He'll play on the left, pretty sure of that That'll free up Gouff to play up front. Striker problem sorted

We were never gonna sign that many first team players. If we get in a replacement for Debuchy and at least one proper, first-choice striker (but really we need two) (and also keep Yanga) then it'll have been better than I expected. The defence is still poor but honestly that was never going to be a priority when we were so lacking in midfield creativity and totally bereft of striking options.

I don't even think we'll sell him. I know it's been reported that we're tried our best to offload but I haven't heard anything about us looking to bring in another CB and even The King can't be stupid enough to think Colo/Willo/Taylor is enough to get by. Unless Streete/Good are being brought up to the first-team squad but I still think it'd be absolutely nuts to rely on that group of players

Seems odd to me to give him the vice-captain role already. I mean, he doesn't know the players, they don't know him, there can't be any trust or respect there yet Not that there are many better options available mind

fyp Wheres Siem? In the bin

Can we just sign him already ffs

I assumed he meant literally, if we had a game tomorrow with the players currently available to the club Otherwise I'd say Krul Yanga Colo Willo Dummett Sissoko Tiote Colback Gouff De Jong Cisse I think that is how we would line up, not what I believe is our best XI

Elliot Raylor Colo Williamson Dummett Obertan Anita Colback Sammeobi de Jong Gouff ?
