I think I'd prefer two CBs to two CMs at the moment to stop us leaking goals, but aye, the squad needs an overhaul, on the whole. 

One of the reasons the defense leaks goals is it gets little or no support from midfield…someone (or 2) sitting in front of the back four to give protection is a must…especially if EH plays a more expansive game, then there is a need for someone to sit in that midfield gap to prevent clubs hitting us on the fast break…can’t see Shelvey or Willock filling that void…really need 2 in the transfer window as you cannot rely on players lasting the season without injury….for me Midfield is an absolute priority in January…we can cope with what we’ve got at the back if necessary.

:lol: No PL club is going to loan us anyone.

Not sure about City, maybe. Plus it would help them in their title challenge.

Actually yes, city probably would to be fair. Forgot he played for them, thought he was still at Chelsea. Showed how much attention I've paid to football for the last few years. :lol:

Don't see why not

 

They're all desperate for us to go down because if we stop up we'll be threatening to leapfrog all of them which makes their lives harder.

 

Transfers they might have to accept, legally, if we match another club's bid. Loans they can refuse citing things like playing opportunity concerns, training facilities, anything, because they'll still own the player.

1 or 2 centre midfielders is a must as is a full back, possibly right sided if Lewis continues to improve. Realistically we will only sign 2-3 players so 1 centre mid and those other 2 positions, would have a striker/attacking mid as well if could though to link up play better

Imagine being so shit at your job that 23+ professional athletes were totally devoid of confidence in themselves and each other.

 

The funny thing is, last season it was bad at times but at least they had enough to get out of the situation they were in.

 

The more I think about it, the more certain I am that he did this intentionally this season. Payback for the nasty comments and designed so he’d get sacked at the earliest convenience. The biggest cunt in football, ever.

 

He even finished his career in a huff with his beloved Manchester United, dropped for the cup because he’d been injured and saw Cantona and Keane chomping at the bit for his armband so he fucked off to Birmingham to finish his playing career.

I do think there was gross negligence on his behalf this season like. Also from Mike Ashley too. For him to have that holiday when he did and for the lack of training, that was like saying "Please sack me". The fact he got away with it spoke volumes of Ashley's arrogance, but to be fair to the twat he pulled it out the bag vs the PL to get the deal done, it would seem.

You could call it gross negligence I suppose, but he has a 20+ years career of gross negligence. Just look at the state he's left most clubs he's been at.

That photo with him and the team is just so fucking awesome man. 

The spirit of the team, their fight, their character and their commitment to one another will be more vital than ever if we are to stay up, I feel in Howe and especially his coaching team, that the players can trust them to do what’s best for the group and not have their favourites or throw anyone under the bus. That is vitally important for a dressing room, but equally that each player will know they have to perform and work harder and harder. Even if we go down, we will go down fighting and will give it everything to try and stay up. Howe and his team’s work ethic is already rubbing off on one player who I’d call lazy and disinterested in his own personal game for most of his career really, Shelvey. Now he’s displaying a work ethic during games I’ve never seen from him. You have the ability Shelvey, can you be a leader too?

Shelvey is never going to be more than he currently is and will definitely regress once his initial enthusiasm wears off. If he's not replaced in January then he sure as hell needs to be in the summer. Unless we get relegated of course.

TBH I still feel Shelvey will regress soon, but I hope not. He hasn't really had a competent manger for years, Rafa was the only one and he binned him rather than work with him (probably for understandable reasons). 

 

Hopefully beyond this season we'll be buying a better calibre of midfielder anyway.
