KaKa Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Okay, well what I find hilarious is that he's talking about staying at Chelsea! I find that baffling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Okay, well what I find hilarious is that he's talking about staying at Chelsea! I find that baffling. It's still early in the transfer window. If he realises during pre-season that he doesn't have a prayer of getting in the first team he'll probably change his mind. I expect he'll move on loan towards the end of the window.

TRon Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 16 goals in 21 league games also ring a bell? Not that I believe the report like, but it would hardly be anything like the Luuk De Jong signing. Luuk de Jong is a better player, and I'm not even joking. Well you rated LDJ prior to his arrival here but he just wasn't a goal scorer whatever his attributes outside the box. Maybe Dost is the opposite. But I will say that if he turns out to be a £9m flop then questions will need to be asked about Carr's scouting expertise since you are calling this guy out as crap from the get go.

gdm Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I see Dortmund are after Dost. Would have been interesting if tuchel came here and signed him, I suspect people on here would be lapping it up. Like every signing I'll give him a fair chance if he signs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Sick now me like. I'm just going to spend my £600 on a season ticket, stick my head in the sand for 6 weeks and just turn up against Southampton and see who's playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Sick now me like. I'm just going to spend my £600 on a season ticket, stick my head in the sand for 6 weeks and just turn up against Southampton and see who's playing. Frightening how many on twitter/Facebook who are actively sticking up for the club and saying we need to judge them on 1 Sept. Its almost as though last season and their promises never even happened Meanwhile we are going to take the next week concentrating on the backroom staff, thank God Charnleys well qualified to do both jobs at the same time.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 At a normal club I wouldn't to worried that it was quiet at this point, especially with a new manager. It's just Newcastle that makes me nervous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 We'll sign 4 or 5 players, start the season under strength and head towards the January window, hoping our weaknesses will be fixed then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 While the predictable lack of activity is depressing, I'd rather we didn't sign Dost. I think Bamford would score goals but he's too inexperienced to justify shelling out an eight figure sum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Steve McClaren appointed as head coach and Bas Dost our first signing. Yeah, we'll definitely be heading places... Completely agree, fat head comes out spouting absolute garbage about qualifying for the Champions League and if anyone was in any kind of doubt he was talking out of his hind quaters he backs it up by appointing a manger fresh from being peddled from a Championship club and potentially signing a striker that plays like it's the first time he's seen s football for three quaters of the season.

Nice one Mike, I bet Arsenal are shiteing themselves! I don't quite think that his sacking at Derby gives anybody the right to write off his entire career. As for the part regarding Dost how on Earth can anybody write off a player that hasn't even put his toe inside our stadium yet?

Not highlights on a YouTube video, the full 90 minute game to understand his play? I'm sure I could create a clip of Ronaldo looking shit, doesn't mean nothing. Give the fucking bloke a chance for crying out loud, Leicester signed Vardy from Fleetwood - he now has an England cap. Utterly embarrassing from Leicester, unreal, how dare they sign a player of such poor quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't answer my question - how many Wolfsburg fixtures did you watch last season to gain such an expert judgement on him? The bloke started 28 games last season (across league, cup and international), scored 20 goals and got 7 assists. Terrified of the ball he is, absolutely terrified.

Unbelievable Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Give it up man. There are at least four people (Felipao, The Prophet, Mole and me) on here who claim they have seen plenty of him (more than you no doubt) who think he has hit a purple patch and is a pretty average player, almost certainly not good enough for the top end of the Premier League, which is where we apparently aim to compete and not worth what we would likely have to pay with his stock being as high as it is ever going to be. I am yet to see anybody say they have seen him play loads and suggest the opposite. Your blind hope argument doesn't really carry much weight I'm afraid.

thenige Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I can't believe so many people are kicking off about a player we're probably not going to sign, as our record for signing people for actual fees when they don't have release clauses is horrendous.
