Conjo Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Why bother with a weak, slow, lazy relegation contender midfielder. He's the typical tailwind player. Looks good when his team is in the flow. Does nothing to help drag his team out of a difficult situation. Don't see the point in spending 30/40/50m on someone that helps us win 3-0 instead of 2-0. Rather want a midfielder who can help us turn a defeat or draw into a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sissoko didn’t have one year left on his contract though. Literally can’t think of anyone who’s gone for that much with only a year left. Granted Kane will (and plenty more) if he goes this summer, but you’d be looking at £150m for him if he had longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Thought it would be wolves considering they can't score,yesterday's result was huge. Hope it the Scouse mackems Without tunchels point, Chelsea would be in the battle ? Edited April 9, 2023 by astraguy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For their shitness they’re only 3 points from safety and their GD isn’t bad. Next game is Man City away mind, not really ideal for starting as you mean to go on.

They’ve chucked some decent leads away this season too, Spurs and Arsenal spring to mind immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 If Everton lose against us and against Leicester next Monday they're going to go imo. Leeds look shocking but Everton have won 3 away games in 2 years, and their home game after us is Man City. Fair play to Smith if he gets Leicester out of this. They looked gone 2 weeks ago.

Paullow Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 https://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/relegation Bournemouth do have Southampton and Leeds coming up, and Everton later on, so if they all went badly, they could maybe be dragged back into it, but it's kind of looking like 3 from 5, or rather 1 from 3 looking at the latest odds. It'll still be Man City, and they'll still have a great team out, and want to win, and while they can't have secured the title by the time they play Everton, they could easily be 5/6/7 points clear with a game in hand and Arsenal only 3 games left (of course they could also lose to Arsenal and the title race be wide open), plus the match in sandwiched right in between their Real Madrid tie, so it might not be quite as daunting as it could / should be for Everton. That's kind of why I want the title race to go be live for as long as possible - Man City also have Brighton away on the second last day of the season and if they have the league in the bag, an FA Cup final and a CL final on their mind, again, that might be an opportunity for Brighton. Probably looking at things a bit too closely here , but it is amazing how one set of results could have a major impact on another fixtures / European / relegation permutations down the line. Like today, that Burnley away match for QPR would be less intimidating had Burnley been in a legit promotion race. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I’m hoping there’s about 5 teams in the mix on the final day. Love the drama of the drop! It’s too bad Southampton didn’t beat Arsenal, that would have been extra spicy. Still, they aren’t out of it if they play like that the remainder of the season.
