LFEE Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 About 2 good years combined out of 8 if we're generous. (A spell under Keegan, half a season with Carroll to aim at and a half decent year in France), and people would have him back and still like him. :'( This.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Who were the leaders when we had our best season since finishing top 4? We just had a group of very good players in form (Krul, Colo, Cabaye, HBA, Cisse, Ba...) playing very well and results took care of themselves. Don't see why the likes of De Jong, Mbemba, Wijnaldum, Mitrovic, etc. can't emulate that. Depends what you mean by emulate that, because i don't particularly believe these players are as good as the previous ones. Could argue Mitrovic replaced Ba, Wijnaldum & Cabaye's reputations & achievements seem very similar, doubt anyone will emulate Ben Arfa but there's still comparisons to be made. That's the thing, he and Cisse looking like the Premier League's answer to Samuel fucking Eto'o was the difference between nearly qualifying for the CL and faltering to around 8th or 9th which is probably what would have happened otherwise.

ExiledGeordie Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Player recruitment simply not good enough as yet. I like the look of the 3 new players coming in but it's their usual risky strategy to rely on them completely for an upturn in form. The Jetro Willems link came from one of the Dutch players at the club so there must be some truth in it. Whether that means he actually arrives is anyone's guess.

ExiledGeordie Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Where have you heard that about Willems? My mate knows one of the existing players very well and has been working with some of the new lads recently. One of the Dutch lads mentioned Willems to him.

ExiledGeordie Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Fair play. Mentioned as a good player or as an actual club target? Both. But given how we operate in the TF market that doesn't mean he'll arrive does it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 There's no way I'd be paying that for Austin too. I'd much rather we split the £12-13m on a CB and winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I don't understand why we're apparently so eager to get another striker in. I smell bs. If we can shift Cisse while we can still get money for him, we will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no way should we sign a striker before CB and winger. No idea if he can play right wing? While another striker would be nice it's not as critical at the moment with Mitro, Cisse, Perez in squad.
