  1. His decision making would be a significant upgrade on Almiron's.
  2. I just can't picture the whole crowd singing na na na na na na na na Botman It would be great if it happens, proper comedy value!
  3. He just isn't though. Hendrick, Clark and Krafth have him beaten comfortably
  4. £30 million seems to be our new number. I like it!
  5. We've got to be aiming for better with the money and newly found pulling power we have

    Yeah, fair enough. Check me out on my newly acquired high horse

    So do their fans. It's all they have to cling to

    I just don't feel anything for them at all. In my 33 years of watching football they've never done or been anything. They had a brief period under Moyes when they were ok but that's it. Nothing, anonymous club! Their financial fairplay woes seem to be down to not being able to attract decent sponsorship because no one cares about them. Sad plight really.
  9. Welcome PAINFIELD, great to have you on board mate. It's going to be some ride
  10. Our CBs have undoubtedly been shit but if you've look back at the goals we've conceded, a lot of the trouble has come from the full back areas. Ritchie, Krafth and Manquillo (although i like him) just haven't stopped balls into the box or given any sort of protection at all. Couple that with a pedestrian midfield offering no protection as well and we've been on a hiding to nothing. I'm happy we're targeting CBs but if we went into the rest of the season with no new CBs but new fullbacks on both sides and new CMs i'd still be confident of staying up
  11. No out-and-out CM rumours since the window opened that i can recall. A couple of CAM/#10 types mentioned. Barbosa, Cabral, PEA and Brereton-Diaz have been mentioned for up top but nothing concrete
  12. Yeah, he had some good periods but when he was out of form, he was wank. He wasn't helped by some of the dross he had to play alongside mind
  13. I hadn't seen enough of him to judge but I thought Irish international, might have a bit about him. He scored a goal in his first couple of games as well didn't he, but that was the only highlight of his time here. Typical Ashley signing
  14. I kind of feel a bit sorry for the lad tbh. He's nowhere near good enough, definitely not the player we thought he was when we signed him and we literally only snapped him up because he was free - none of that is his fault. I wish him no malice at all but his future undoubtedly lies elsewhere
  15. Frenkie De Jong is one of the world's hottest prospects FFS! Could we afford him? Yes. Would he want to leave Barcelona to join a relegation scrap? Not a chance
  16. Sean Longstaff will likely be off Matty Longstaff out on loan again but to a team that actually plays him
  17. I'd love us to get Daniel Podence from Wolves. I knew he was good, but watching him the other night against Man Utd he was different class. Must be one of the most underrated players in the league right now
  18. This might be the reason he seems to favour players he's worked with in the past - he can integrate them quicker. He's worked with Trippier in the past so imagine he'll know what Eddie expects and will go straight in
  19. I think it's more like the Perez role, just off the striker
  20. I should've just booked all of January off - i'm getting absolutely no work done
  21. If we end up signing Cantwell instead of Coutinho, and have to endure those cringeworthy celebrations, I'll be sad......very sad
  22. Likewise, but Howe has played Clark instead of Fede in 3-4 games and that speaks volumes. I'd be starting Schar and Fede every game but Howe obviously sees it differently, so he's just going to warm the bench. And if we sign 2 new CBs he's even further down the pecking order
  23. Agents play the bullshit game better than anyone as well. They'll tell a journalist the player isn't interested so they don't put off other clubs and so they can squeeze every last £ out of the club when the player eventually signs.
