  1. But pointless picking a random match day just to make the table look worse. Our form Since SG took over has us slap bang in the middle.
  2. Strikers couldn’t hit a barn door, might as well just play without and stick Bailey and Buendia on the wings.
  3. Too many sentimental players from the Smith days. They were good enough to get promoted, and consolidate in the league. But if we have any realistic ambition of cracking Europe, massive changes needed.
  4. How many would get into Spurs team? Not many I’d have thought.
  5. Sell Ings and Watkins, Archer and Davis to lead the line next season.
  6. He might not be a 20+ goal a season striker, but that doesn't mean he can't be an asset to us. Look at Michail Antonio, he's not gonna break any goal scoring records, but he's quite an important player for West Ham.
  7. How do you know? He has never really got a fair run of games with us. He's doing pretty well in the Championship.
  8. Mainly Archer, but Barry and Young as well. The problem is we (mostly) play with 1 striker, and Watkins and Ings are always going to be ahead of Davis. Unless we consistently play with 2 strikers, he won't get playing much. Saying that 5 subs next season, so you never know.
  9. He's at the age now where he should be given a chance or sold, I suspect it will be the latter due to the forwards coming through that are younger than him.
  10. Liverpool do it, they play with 3 in midfield and cover TAA and Robertson when they go forward. With the right players the system can work and work well, we just don't have the players at the minute.
  11. Reported by TalkSh**e, i'd take it with a massive pinch of salt. As you say, we don't play with wingers, we also play Leicester shortly, so most likely he was checking them out ahead of that match.
  12. This would certainly get u into top half comfortably.
  13. Bielsa is a bit mad though, so not surprising. Very rare it happens, most managers will usually wait to half time.
  14. He could play as the center AM with Coutinho on left.
  15. Unfortunately this is true. Two good holding midfielders, with Buendia - Coutinho - Baily in front and either Watkins or Ings as striker would be fantastic.
  16. Possibly, but United signed Smith, Ferdinand and Cantona from Leeds before, so don't think it would be an issue.
  17. Can't see us getting Phillips, we are being used by his agent to get a better contract or a move to United.
  18. I wouldn't go near him, the ego of Ronaldo with the career of Stewart Downing.
  19. I think people here will just have to accept that SG will be in charge next season weather they like him or not, and is likely going to oversee a clear-out of the current team and massive transfer expenditure in the Summer. Only way that doesn't happen is if we lose every game between now and the end of the season, in which case the owners might reconsider his tenure.
  20. I don't think a 31 year old from a relegated Everton is going to excite many on here, most fans are expecting a huge sum to be dropped on a big name DM. The problem is who can we actually attract to the club in that position? Looking at a list of DMs ranked by market valuation, their aren't many names we could get on the list. So it will end up being a bargain but not the most exciting, or an unknown player from abroad, who may need time to develop.
  21. It was always going to be unlikely he came here as we are not currently much of an upgrade at the minute to Leeds, money would have been the only reason he moved here. But it's zero chance now.
