  1. Man this squad needs strengthening. We need at least another striker, DM and winger (even after Traore). Watkins or Grealish gets injured and we’re finished
  2. I think with this team we’re basically saying we have no interest whatsoever in progressing in this competition
  3. Yikes! That scared the sh*t out of me.
  4. How many first team games has he actually played? I know more about his hair than his playing style.
  5. And most of our best players are either on the bench or in the pub.
  6. I thought he was dead. Or at least living in Eastbourne.
  7. I think what this tells us is that our bench will be quite weak.
  8. So did we tell him specifically to never under any circumstances pass the ball forwards, or is that not an issue with bovver boots burnley?
  9. His deficiencies that you mention sound coachable, no?
  10. I must admit having never seen him play, and based solely on the posts on this forum that I have no idea as to whether we’re signing the best or worst player in the game, but that he must be one or the other. I suspect as you elude to he is most likely neither, and his success will be based on his deployment. As I asked on the Rashica thread, having not seen him either, could someone who has seen him tell us his strengths and weaknesses? I understand that he’s quick, and pace is something we need, but if he’s not going to be the assist merchant we need, why not? Can he not cross, pass, take someone on?
  11. I’ll be honest, I’ve always said I don’t begrudge him a big move and would wish him nothing but success. That said, if he does move a week before the season starts, when we will struggle to get a replacement, it will pi$$ me off, and temper any good will for me.
  12. I’ve never watched him. What style of player is he? Does he cut inside? Drive to the byline? Take a player on?
  13. Just read the interview with Drinkwater about the bust up with Jota. He comes across as a giant penis.
  14. I see your point, and I don’t disagree with you about needing to shore up, but as you mention above our pace is limited, which means our counter attacks are toothless. If we had more bite in midfield, win the ball higher and press, our forwards would not need to track 30-40 yards at pace to create chances. I guess it’s about tactics. If we want to be a counter attacking team we do need pace, as you say. For what it’s worth, I think that the signing of Cash gives us the option of playing wingbacks, which would make our deficiencies on the wings less obvious. It will be interesting to see what the next signing tells us about how Smith wants to set up, cos we’d need another striker to make that work.
  15. Yes!!! Welcome Ollie! May you terrify defences amen.
