Unbelievable Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 We have a few players who should be good enough for a midtable team in the Premier League. Not a single player you could argue is ready or good enough for a top side. Some serious underestimation of our, and Rafa's predicament going on lately on the back of a few young playes signing, most had never even heard of and without much proven ability at this level, who we hope can hit the ground running. As it stands I'd be amazed if we weren't anything other than lower midtable or worse, and if we are that will be down to one man and one man only: the one whose patience is being seriously tested and to whom promises made are not being kept so far. We're miles away from where we were under Sir Bobby, miles away, and once again our cheapskate owner is gambling with the future of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I am concerned about our GK and our attack currently. I think the very core of our team is very mid-table or below, but it's all based on them being fit + in form entire season. One or two injuries to our main men like Clark, Shelvey, Ritchie and Gayle our spine is very unstable. Signing say Pepe Reina, Lucas Perez and a winger like Lucas Vasquez on loan and I think we are comfortably mid-table. However again, fine margins.

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The team Rafa is putting together reminds my of Sir Bobby's in a way, Young, Quick, energetic and so long as they are well coached we should have a good season WAT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 i'd like to argue that going the spurs route is our best way given the market; scout and sign younger players, sell when daft bids come in for the ones we develop, invest that money on a bit better player and so on and so forth to be honest this is our best route and we already have the manager, however we also mike cunting ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 In a way I'm glad we're not going down the McClaren route and just making signings for the sake of it. At least the people we're bringing in are players Benitez actually wants, albeit fourth or fifth choices. It seemed like under McClaren we signed Riviere and Saivet for the sake of it.

Ikon Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hopefully Rafa can convince sleeping bag to let Perez come to us on loan with an option to buy, as we're unambitious and maybe even skint. Deportivo are about to sign Adrian Lopez which should rule them out at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 This one does feel like a no brainer, we need a top striker for a pittance, a Spanish one becomes available, we have one of the best Spanish managers ever and a few Spanish players to help him settle in.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Incredible that we'll spend £10m on a winger that doesn't appear to be first choice, yet we're refusing to pay £13.4m for a striker that'll probably end up playing more games than said winger. Even with Ashley-logic of not spending what we don't have, there is no way we cant afford this deal like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
