So after gambling everything last season to get promotion you think this season we should gamble even more? No matter how rich an owner we have we still need sort this ffp and awful financial situation out before we even think about taking risks imo.

And there is no denying Joe Hart used to be class is there? He's now crap though... I'm not sure if you're aware that the 2017/18 champions league and the world Cup was quite recent meaning Alisson is currently performing at those levels and Joe Hart isn't... If you think you're getting anywhere near 30 million for grealish you're going to be disappointed.

Alisson, 44 apps for inter, roma #1 Brazil #1 with 31 caps. champions league squad of the season 2017/18, World Cup semi finalist. Grealish, motm against Liverpool fa Cup semi final, completed half a season in the championship. Big Big difference between the two. Grealish is still just all potential at the minute.

That deal would actually be worth it which is why I suspect its a load of made up shite.

Fantastic tournament, couldn't fully enjoy the final as I was still gutted England wasn't there but overall can't complain at a fourth place finish especially with our squad. Hopefully villa will surprise us this season as well.

LOL

Oh yeah I'd agree our situation is worse because we've actually no idea how bad ours could be but our team without any signings is a lot better than there's if they don't sign any. I don't think we will be to far of play offs with our current side and if 3 or 4 of our youth players can have a good season then we will make a good go at that top 6. Birmingham on the other hand have about 2 decent players rest are woeful.

With the squad they have a transfer embargo is really bad news for them. The window also shuts 3 weeks earlier this season, after how much they've loved our situation it would be absolutely fantastic if this f*cks them.

Wanted him to do well with his career after he moved on from us, now I'm hoping he reverts back to when he first signed for us.

Gutted he will be going but you can't blame, especially to a club like spurs. At least we can look forward to seeing him in an England shirt...

Terry will be 37, that is too old. He got caught out a few times being off the pace last season and hell only be getting slower. From what I recall we only ever played axel at right back where he didn't look great but he is a centre back, he is highly rated by man utd so over the course of a season I'd be confident he would be more than good enough. Axel doesn't need to be paid 60k a week either.

I would say consistantly good, not great. We benifited more from what he did off the field than what he did on imo. I think it would be bad business to go with him again, a year older, even if it's on a lower contract. Much rather see someone younger come in and try albeit on loan. Axel hardly featured so we never really got to see how good he actually is, he can't be that bad if he's still on utd books.

I wouldn't be to bothered to be honest, he was good but not as good as James Chester, I'd much rather us get axel back from utd on loan and play him at cb than go with JT again.

Nearly 3 weeks this argument has gone on for now. Think we all need to take a break and move on from it, just going round in circles!

What does promotion have to do with anything. We are talking about goals scored and performances

I don't understand how you're coming to these conclusions.

I've not compared him with Bruce though? My post was originally about how Bielsa is not as good as people seem to think, people are going on like he's this tactical god because pep guadiola recommended him. I'm just trying to point out he's actually not all that good. If I were to pick between the two though I'd pick Bruce all day mainly because beilsa just leaves whenever he fancies and has never managed in the Championship.

Hardly scary is it. Over 46 games; Only 3 teams finished above us Only 2 teams had better goal difference (wolves Fulham) Only 2 teams scored more than us (wolves Fulham) Only 2 teams conceded less (wolves Cardiff) When you have one of the best defenses in the league you only need to score once to win most the time, the fact you've tried use that against us is just daft.

You're far from clear. I like how you've ignored all the other points I came up with to show how overrated he is and gone straight with this part but what I was getting at was he only played 2 good teams in that tournament and got beat by both, it was also a round 16 game in South Africa.

Terrible wasn't they. Another bad thing about relying on kids is it only takes one bad game and their confidence is gone, just look at Davies. You need to find a good blend of young and old for it to work. We do have some youngens who look as though they can become very good players but chances majority of them won't be good enough and only one or two will actually play a fair amount of games for us.

Kodjia is good but not sure he's £15 million good and jedi is another good one, forgot RDM signed him tbf

Yeah, was probably the only good thing RDM did at the club in signing Chester.

60% win record at Argentina but failed to get out the group stages of the world cup which including losing to England. Won the Olympics but I don't think anyone cares about that as a tournament so not as remotely impressive as it sounds. With Chile lost to Spain beat Switzerland and Honduras to get out their group but then lost against Brazil 3-0 in round 16, again hardly impressive. Finished fourth with Marseille, nothing special. Walked out on them after losing his opening game the next season though. Not sure why you have a big obsession with him but he's walked out on a few clubs when things haven't gone his way, the last thing we would need is a manager who has the potential to just get up and leave when things don't go his way. Also if he was as good as you and pep guadiola keep making out he'd be in a job and not be going for job interviews with clubs like Leeds utd.
