The Prophet Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 To me Howe's comments on Friday reaffirm that we don't have a budget as such, but that we won't pay over the odds for any individual, even if that means signing players in alternative positions.

However I think the majority of us on here are just debating what we feel are vital signings without crying or kicking off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) I think we will get a lot more goals, even with current squad, without necessarily spending loads on offensive players. Howe came in off a horrendous run of form, and a deperate team that had not been coached for 2 yrs plus. He solidified a shit defence, and played a brilliant tactical game. Once safe, we saw glimpses, especially against Arsenal, of what these players can do. An even better defense equals a much stronger platform for his approach, and our current players to be more expressive (something also managaed out of them for years). Pretty sure we will see a number of players blossom in our offensive positions this year by virtue of above. Yes, it would be nice to add a bit more but we are building a much more solid platform, with a very good coach. Time for some to chill out!!! P.s. We will also concede less, hopefully.

We clearly have a budget so what’s funny to suggest we should have used the extra ten on more important positions? This is all hypothetical btw, I still do think we will bring in 2 more, I was mainly saying this in response to the Hope article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I think it’s clear we will improve all positions when good value appears. We did need a new keeper imo - whether this year or next. Pope for 10 million is a great value signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 What fucks me off is the countless comments along the lines off "what's to stop us buying Diaby for £60 million? I thought we were rich?" I don't know maybe we don't think he's worth £60 million (he isn't) or the player isn't that arsed about joining? More importantly why are you getting such lofty expectations based on a player that you've probably never seen beyond his highlight reel? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Yes would like to remind everyone, the first game last season the team was blowing out their arses after 50 minutes allowing teams to steamroller us, this went on for months until Howe eventually came in and got their fitness up to scratch. We also have a stronger squad now than we did last year, but the one that started last season should have been nowhere near the bottom of the table, not exactly top half but not bottom.. that’s how bad Steve Bruce was. If you take results from January we are a top 8 side already and that was without Wilson for the most part. I’m totally relaxed about who we do or don’t bring in. It’s nothing that can’t wait until January, worst case scenario. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
