Was Krafth identified by Nickson and given to Bruce?

 

He was scouted and recommended by another scout prior to Bruce, the deal was already in place. By the time Bruce rocked up he had very little control of any of the comings and goings. Carroll may have been his pick as Austin had been identified as the choice for a striker. Still can’t believe we sold Perez, didn’t sign Rondon and replaced them with a £40M wide man and a crock and expected goals.

Janmaat wasn't good really. He couldn't defend for shit.

 

Debuchy and beye were both dreamy though.

 

Took Debuchy a few months to settle but he’s probably the most complete right-back we’ve had. Could defend and great going forward. Beye similar level.

I love a bit of Manquillo, me.

 

If we signed a player of manqs quality now we'd be very happy with what we got. Dodgy start, iffy rep, played out of position...but nicely settled and is our best fullback.

Would be nice if Manquillo's delivery improved. Last season he found himself in a crossing position quite frequently and, like Yedlin, his delivery was awful.

 

Hopefully having a striker that makes actual striker runs in the box will help and he can just aim for an area.

Beye's slide into oblivion was dramatic after he jumped ship.

 

Has there been many more dramatic than his?

 

Genuine question.

 

Somebody who clearly is capable of performing over a full season or two, moves elsewhere in the same league and disappears?

 

Bizarre.
