  1. Some save from the Tammy header at the end.
  2. That’s fair enough, I understand that. I’ve never watched the bloke play so I’ll reserve my judgement. I’ve highlighted my issues with the transfer earlier in the thread but I think for a transfer to be considered “shocking” I would have to be damn sure I knew that the player was actual human garbage.
  3. I’ve drawn the very same conclusions based on what I’ve seen. Very much in the Adama Traore, Saint-Maximin mould in that they can’t work themselves into fantastic positions without really creating big chances or scoring goals consistently. I always start to worry when “highlight videos” include missed opportunities and skilful pieces of dribbling that end in a misplaced pass or being tackled.
  4. So if the Traore (right winger) thing is legit and if we do indeed sign Rashica (left winger), it sounds to me like we’d be looking to move Grealish back in to the centre... thoughts?
  5. Part of the problem was having a right-footed right back at left back next to these centre backs.
  6. Just saw this posted on Twitter and thought it might be of interest. I don't place a huge amount of stock in this kind of stuff (an Arsenal fan was using it to big up Martinez) but then I saw where Nyland was
  7. What’s with the repeated suggestions of Rhian Brewster to play right wing? What has he done to suggest he’s good enough to get in to our starting eleven at right wing? I thought he was a striker? Genuine question.
  8. Love that. “But he’s never been linked to a top 6 side.” “Yes he has” ”Oh... well it can’t have been a proper link then”
  9. Can't see this happening. Loaning players to potentially improve them for their parent club is the opposite of what we're trying to achieve.
  10. 1.7m followers? Jeez, he better hope he's right!
  11. Surely this would just be Perin? Szczesny is their starting keeper and we’ve been linked to Perin a few times over the years.
  12. This might be the dullest first half of football I’ve ever seen. since the Iceland game anyway.
  13. Do you not think they could handle a long distance relationship?
  14. I think it's very difficult to judge strikers in the modern game. There are very few "old school" strikers who are the absolute focal point of the team these days e.g. Kane, Vardy. I think a good example of a modern striker is someone like Firmino who brings an awful lot to the team despite any obvious stats to the table in terms of goals and assists. I'd imagine that anyone playing fantasy fotball this year will feel the same based on the striking options in the Premier League!
  15. So, if you believe what you read in the press, we could be on the cusp of signing three players for a combined total of £65m. You wait all day for a bus, then three come at once.
  16. What a great post. If we'd signed Tammy when we got promoted for £28m I think we'd have all been delighted. Just because Watkins hasn't been snapped up by Chelsea in his early years doesn't mean that this is any less of a great signing based on his record last year. I really really hope we give him a chance because there's an awful lot of pressure on this lad's shoulders.

    I'm sure you know more about him than I do but I've not seen him as injury prone thus far? He missed 12 Prem games last season, 3 in the season before, 5 before that, 2 before that and 7 in his first Prem season. I'd argue Grealish is more injury prone than him!

    I've been a member for 16 years and it's always been like this?

    Callum WIlson - Prem Apps - 126. Goals - 41. Josh King - Prem Apps - 161. Goals 48. Whilst you're correct in that Wilson has a better goals per game record, he very rarely played every game of the season for whatever reason (form, various injuries). Josh King on the other hand also played from the wing and featured in over 30 games in each season except the last. I think if you're relying on a player to play week in, week out King is the better choice.
