The Prophet Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 27 minutes ago, TRC said: Whoever is in charge of our recruitment probably needs replacing. Hall - no idea why we signed him Barnes - Good player, but Gordon is our best LW, Joelinton/Willock, Anderson can play there. Tonali - Bad luck, maybe not the right profile of player though? Livra - Good signing, but should still be playing more. Still think our business was relatively solid. Not amazing, but alright. It put us in a position where we had two competent players in every position and plenty who can play multiple roles. There's still plenty to do. We still have holes all over the squad, but it's going to take time to fill them with quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I'm happy with all our signings this season aside from possibly Hall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I'm not sure what the inability to rotate has to do with this particular injury either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just another freak injury. Probably only Wilson and De Jong capable of it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a shocker that we didn't get an upgrade on Miggy, for example, but I don't feel I can strongly criticise until I know what our options were. We seem to have a policy of not just buying anyone for a needed position, which I approve of. If the players we genuinely fancied couldn't be had, I can sympathise. Specifically on Hall, it's worth remembering the only reason we got him was the first season was free. So it wasn't £30m we could've used elsewhere for this season.

Sean Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) The least surprising news ever. This season has been so bad that this doesn't even warrant a shrug. Edited February 15 by Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 3 goals off being our top scorer in the PL outright, taking over Beardsley. Seemed inevitable but not sure about that anymore! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individually the players we sign are usually of a high quality, granted the jury is out on a couple of the lads we signed in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 So last 15 matches and a further 15 matches still to play, the likely outcome is that we would only have had both Isak and Wilson in the same game week squad on only 3 occasions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Just seen this news. Fuck I can't wait for this season to be over. I'd be surprised if we get anything over £5m for him, clubs would be mad to sign him with his constant injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I think he'll be off to Saudi in the summer to top up his pension. £10m is not out of the question if he can pass a medical (big if). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Just seen that since Wilson joined in 2020 he's missed 78 games so far which is 41% of the total ganes, presuming he doesn't play again this season it'll be closer to 48% Proven and relatively prolific, but unbelievably injury prone, love the guy but he needs to be replaced.
