Meanwhile, our PL rivals have strengthened for THIS season.... Expand I don't think Burnley, Wolves, Southampton or Brighton are any better off. Palace could go either way. The top clubs have gone mad, a lot of the rest have been a bit tit for tat. Likewise the three promoted clubs, I've seen very little suggest any of them will be better than relegation candidates. If our star players stay fit for the majority of the season we won't be in any trouble whatsoever. Unfortunately even a couple of injuries exposes our shit squad depth.

toon25 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 An injury Wilson away from another relegation battle imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Assuming he does sign, think he’ll hit 7-10 goals and have a handful of assists. Better be one of the first names on the team sheet with Wilson and Maxi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season Wilson's goals, Willock's goals and ASM's performances kept us up. 2019-20 our defence more or less kept us up due to the goals they scored ( ) plus some defensive tendencies instilled by Benitez were yet to wear off, hence why shocking performances mainly at home tended to be ground out to 0-0 draws particularly against the dross. We've stood still with Willock coming in but at least that gaping hole in the midfield has been filled. Plus I love the lad and its nice to actually feel something when watching us.

If we think a player is good value even if it’s not particularly cheap, they’ll try and do it. Similar to Lewis last summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Yeah was the Athletic too. We might not spend £5m on 3 players, but can spend £20m on 1 player if it's "the right one" in their mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Pleased, but this should have been done weeks ago. Especially with Arsenal hardly asking for silly money. We’re still only back to the squad we ended the season with too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird that that turned out to be another fat dollop of bullshit. Bruce handsomely backed again. Poor bloke. Absolute miracle worker mind, keeping this squad up.

Pilko Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Excellent signing if it gets done and I think great value at the £20m-ish quoted. Of course, Charnley and Co will love the fact that they can dress standing still from last May up as ambition to plenty of match-going divvies.
