He went to the Olympic Games and is in the orbit of the National Team.” No one reports like Gaston, Knows their sports like Gaston, No one shares their thoughts as incredibly well as Gaston.

Geogaddi Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 Eddie could definitely get Sterling back to the player he was a couple of years ago, the fact he is so miffed off at being dropped at Chelsea and wanting to leave to play regular football shows he still has the desire. It would have been easy for him to just sit on his 300k a week contract at Chelsea and not play if he had no desire to continue playing football.

Kid Icarus Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 For all the talk of us needing a new CB and RW, and we do, I'd sort of forgotten that we also really need an out and out CDM. Our midfield has strengths but they all leave gaps at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Eddie Howe but does amuse me how that blanket statement gets used for every out of form or poorer player. I won’t work every time. ASM for example. Could argue he got poorer under Howe towards the end. Ryan Fraser too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 Not all dross, but too bad about the absolutely stupid wages. I'd take Kepa, for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 Eddies secret is not the players improving as individuals but together as a team. Under Bruce it was more a case of give the ball to ASM and hope for the best. Team before individuals is how some players suddenly jumped from championship to where we are now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to turn him down while we are looking at the likes of Almiron starting out wide again this season. He can play across the whole front 3. Same here but I don't think Chelsea would loan him to a direct rival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 The more I think about the more I think it's a shame we didn't get Trafford in.
