Anyway he's got a groin problem so won't be available straight away. Plus can't see Burnley selling him to us any Howe. I hope Howe underwhelming doesn't become a thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 12 minutes ago, ManDoon said: Don’t know about that. They bought like Robinho, Santa Cruz, Given, Wayne Bridge, Nigel De Jong. They were in their first ten signings. Hardly Chris wood esque They also signed Tal Ben Haim, Sylvinho, Vieira, and loaned in Martin Fulop. It's about signing what's needed.

If we just have the edge over Burnley or Watford, and not against the rest, we'll go down. A couple of "6 pointers" won't save us. We'll absolutely need to have the edge over Brighton and those around them if we're to claw back enough to survive. I think we'll also need to get some points from when the big boy run comes back. Otherwise we'll finish below Burnley and Watford. I can't believe I have to type this...sooooooo, I'm thinking, no matter how many times I read the quote, I'm not understanding your sentence the right way Apologies Yes you are reading it wrong. I mean have the edge over them in the relegation fight, not in individual games against other clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcnick Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 We should have had at least 3-4 players in ready last week, not fucking 1 player, it’s the constant hesitation from day 1 that’s going to make sure we’re relegated this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was experience, it was known quantities. Right now, we either sign Chris Wood who I think could secure us 5-10 goals, or we keep hoping that Dwight Gayle is suddenly not going to be a shit PL level striker.

Someone on Twitter is saying we are going to become a feeder club for Inter Milan under PIF’s ownership of both clubs. I wonder if Inter want Wood or Cantwell? they must be keen on Almiron, at least.

xLiaaamx Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Nah, tried to mellow on it, see it "reasonably" and I just cannot get on board with Wood and Cantwell. Cantwell has nothing about him. Wood is so limiting in how you can play with him. He's goes against everything we've done since Howe came in. We can't base our attacking play on Cambridge, no one else will sit so deep for crosses. Cant be giving two rivals money for underperforming players. Cornet is Burnley's main man, not Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Puppets Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Don’t have a problem with Wood if he’s not the only forward we’re bringing in. We need depth. But I wouldn’t be bringing him in as a first choice starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 1 hour ago, Rich said: Some of you are unbearable, mind. Dear me. We’ve just signed Trippier. There’ll be other massive signings coming. But surely not every single signing can be that level just yet? The balance between getting players to keep us up and to improve us long-term is extremely tricky, and it does seem that those at the club are aware of it and are doing their best. There may have to be some fairly uninspiring signings in this market, I reckon, but if they improve us and play their part in staying up then we’ll be in a great position in summer to go after genuine class.

STM Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 1 minute ago, ManDoon said: Against Cambridge. We won’t be playing League 1 opposition every week. In no other PL game have we taken that approach. Howe is not a long ball/spam crosses manager. Have seen enough to suggest Howe likes his sides to get the ball wide and get crosses in, to a degree. It wouldn't harm to have someone more threatening from set plays too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
