Actually staggering how quickly they all adapted but then again players of that level tend to find a way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon's case he wasnt fit at all, blame that on him, his previous club or what I don't know. but others have come in and slotted in straight away fine.

Eddie needs to seriously get over this, he obviously prefers we pay the premium for a lesser player with PL experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 From the bits I’ve watched of Thuram, he looks absolutely perfect for the PL and our style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what he said about... 13 goals later! But to be fair he never did understand the offside rule or that you were not allowed to spit on people so he might have a point lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck sake. Utterly sick to death of that. It's Howe's biggest flaw; this fascination with only signing players from other PL clubs. The most expensive market there is. Being keen on Calvert-Lewin ahead of Isak, being allegedly sceptical about Bruno, allegedly saying no to Paqueta, his comments on Solanke, links to McTominay, Billing, Kelly et al. Smoke and fire. The top clubs, which we want to become one of, hardly ever shop in the PL market. The fees and wages are over inflated for the level of ability you get. You get quoted £50m for Onana, you'll get quoted between £40m-£60m for Solanke. We got Bruno for £39m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big part of becoming successful is going to be getting the timing right on moving on from certain players. Necessary evil. I'm actually hoping the sale of Trippier goes through if we can get close enough to what we paid for him. He's still a cracking footballer but at 33 the only way is down and we need the money so we can buy the next generation. This policy of keeping players as future coaches is sentimental twaddle and it's not going to help us get to the next level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) tbh I more keen on getting a return on Wilson than Tripps. Goals win games and Wilson is just injured far too often, Tripps for me is still class. Edited January 21 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Not a chance did we fancy Calvert Lewin in this system over a player like Isak, doesn’t make sense at all. His legs would have fallen off in this press Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goals win games and Wilson is just injured far too often, Tripps for me is still class. I'd happily move Wilson on as well even though I think he's still capable of banging in goals. He's just not available for enough games so again, if we can get a reasonable fee then move him on. The only rider to that is it's not going to be easy buying a replacement.

Can't remember which. You can't just extrapolate this across every signing, and claim Howe is 'fascinated with only signing players from other Premier League clubs'. I imagine targets from all over including the Premier League are drawn up, and the best player is then signed. If Howe was as rigid on Premier League players as you claim, he would have insisted on them far more firmly. Go and read back on what he said about Tonali when he signed, and how much he watched him and fell in love with his game. Howe seems to value the right attitude on the pitch and a certain level of physical capability, regardless of where the player is coming in from.
