Encapsulated the ossie babes era that game - remember my dad taking me to that. First half mint, 2nd half capitulation abd the corner chanting “shit”, “shit” , “shit” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you look at our good seasons and regular features have been things like fast transitions and headers from crosses. Woltemade is neither fast nor particularly good in the air. I think our attack will be better next year but I can’t see it being one particularly well suited to Woltemade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground was absolutely dead as well. Definitely our smallest Saturday crowd of that season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not this year (though hope springs eternal) but we certainly have made a habit of taking a lead then conceding late and throwing away league points. it’s a shame, but it feels inevitable that Nick is gone this summer. Here is an honest question. Is it worth £69M to avoid relegation? Edited May 3 by DC Magpie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I think he’ll end up on loan in Germany next season with clauses to make it permanent. I don’t think we’ll get a big enough bid this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firminho at Liverpool probably, but we need our wingers to put up numbers. We obviously didn't just pay a record fee for a player we have no plan for.

I don’t think we’ll get a big enough bid this summer. How much were the fees being banded around for Osula by German clubs? Was it around £30m? Bayern prior were prepared to pay £45m for Woltemade last summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully next year we can implement whatever system Howe wants us to play and all of our players won't look shite. We scouted Woltemade, we would have known about the "is he a 9 or a 10" talk.

Feels at the moment like a panic buy and because Bayern were interested in him and pulled out there was then an opportunity we didn't think we'd have and we were absolutely desperate to sign a "striker" Very little so far has suggested we have a plan for Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Well personally I'm going to believe that we bought a player we have a plan for and not assume we blew record money on a lad we had no idea what we were going to do with purely out of panic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
