alexf Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) 11 minutes ago, Geogaddi said: ASM never really got worse under Howe , he just wasn't good enough to be a regular in a team that finished 4th playing with the intensity and pressing that we did that season. ASM didn't get worse due to Howe, but his injuries caught up with him. He looked like he lost that explosive speed that he had during the Bruce era, due to the constant hamstring strains etc. Rarely did he seem physically at his best under Howe. But on the rare occasions that he did he was still one of our best players. That Man City 3:3 home game comes to mind. Best side in the league just couldn't handle him. Injuries just took away his explosiveness. Without it he was just abit frustrating and was right to move him on in the end.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 What’s good about that is there’s only one you’d want starting a game for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're never signing a good backup goalkeeper when we're signing a central defender for an insane fee and have zero purples at RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we're stuck with Dubs (originally wanted Trafford to replace but couldn't shift him) and never wanted Vlachodimos. Ruddy was brought in as a slightly better Gillespie, but ultimately another version of him (someone who's going to train but never play) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 The more I think about the more I think it's a shame we didn't get Trafford in. A year or two working alongside both Pope and Ruddy would have surely been positive for his development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I want him gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want a legit option to play in the 6 position, behind Bruno. Probably one that is a bit more defensive minded too. It looks like that's what this guy is, as this was posted earlier today. Won't be a big fee either. Probably similar to the Osula deal, if that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack depth in quality imo. Not sure what the reason is, but the midfield looked disjointed last week even with 11 men, and it was a similar story for large parts of last season as well. I'd like to think it's because Tonali was missing, but truthfully we had the same problems when he was playing. Edited August 22 by TRon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Does anyone ever buy a decent backup keeper? Its seems more like they get a young keeper who comes good or they buy a first choice and the previous number 1 drops down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we have a list of priorities in terms of positions to strengthen but you can’t work your way from top to bottom on the list all the time, if this player is rated by us and is available on the right deal it absolutely makes sense to move for him. Its as important to think mid-long term as it is to think in the right here right now. Edited August 22 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
