If they decided between themselves, does that mean Mitro is number 9?

 

Didnt he say last season he wants to earn it and not just get it given to him?  Hasnt earned it yet. No way.

Usually the kind of bullshit you spin when someone else has something you badly want

He said: “I want to earn the No 9. It is a big responsibility at this club. We know who was No 9 before, and you need to earn that. You earn it by scoring big goals in games like Sunday [vs the mackems]. For now, I am happy with 45.

Anita, Gamez, Dummett, Haidara, Mbabu and Clark. We will be fine.

Only Haidara is a natural left back out of them, and he's a perma crook and the jury is still out on him even when he is fit. We've got a lot of cover, but not one specialist left back that I'm happy with, which is why I think it's one of the most important signings we could make.

Rafa will sort him. Aside from the odd crazy lunge into a tackle the thing he's always looked suspect on for me is defensive positioning. Should be a pretty easy thing to work on and fix with an actual manager like Rafa and not the mugs we've had previous

I would be surprised if every player didn't improve to some degree now they are actually being coached and working on tactics. Obviously some players have limitations that can't be addressed but positioning and organisation should be possible

It was great listening to him last night, we really have appointed the best manager that we possibly could have. To be fair to him, we had no right to have expected him to stay beyond last season but he did. He's here for as long as he wants as far as I'm concerned. Every time he talked about what he was doing he mentioned that he was analysing something, no matter how small or trivial it was that he was talking about. He leaves nothing to chance and it comes across that he loves every minute of his job and football in general.

 

We really couldn't have appointed anybody better for the job and he seems to love being here as much as we love having him. No player could possibly fail to be impressed by him.

If you look at it, regardless of whether they were first choice or not, all bar two summer signings have come from 'top tier clubs'.

 

That says a lot not only about our mentality but about Rafa's pulling power. He's the figurehead that we have been crying out for and everyone - club staff, players, targets and fans - are all being won over by him.

 

We could be on our way to something special here.

Not only have they dropped a division, but no player has arrived with the guarantee that they'll be on the team sheet every week. That says a lot for our alterations to transfer policy and negotiation strategy, and it says a lot about the personalities who have arrived. I have a really good feeling about this group of lads. ( :pow: )
