Colocho Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I see? With no money, it's hard to get your expectations too high. That's what I was insinuating. Whereas we have £30-40 million in the bank which should be spent on new players. Absolutely no reason for us not to spend at least £15 million in transfer fees on new players this summer.

Heron Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I agree with Neil. Some of these comments are absurd. We have had far worse summers than this. We have gotten rid of Nolan who was useless except when scoring. We've gotten rid of Routledge who was on loan anyways. We've signed Cabaye, Marveaux and Ba. Barton hasn't left yet and neither has Enrique. If those two leaves and we sign no cover then sure its not been a good one. But I think we're in a better position than last year no doubt. Time will tell though :lol: What a ridiculous statement to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 His goalscoring was very good yes and he was also a brilliant captain, but there must have been a good 15 matches last season where Nolan was a complete passenger which left a big gaping hole in our midfield.

Without his goals and leadership the season before, we may not have been promoted. It's fine to describe Nolan as a limited player (because he is) but in football, what is more important than scoring goals? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

summerof69 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Didn't Nolan also have a succesful pass rate of 82 % ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocho Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Didn't Nolan also have a succesful pass rate of 82 % ? According to Opta, he attempted 1009 passes, completing 877 = 87% pass rate. But on the downside, he only created 26 goalscoring chances, 1 assist. That's pretty poor for an attacking midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is like the most in the league from any midfielder or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, i knew he wasn't the most creative with his passing though i didn't have the stats and yes you are right that isn't great for an attacking midfielder though being able to keep the ball is, imo another attribute which people should give him credit for even if he isn't creative.
