  1. oh nice, a third Gerrard thread, he seems very popular right now.
  2. This says a lot really, 5th lowest spenders right now. Yeah i know - kamara signing on fee, other fees etc, but still. 7 teams have spent 100m or more.
  3. so its 25m up front, 7-10m of likely add ons, and another 12.5m for less likely add ons. Will be interesting to see how they do, they are certainly going for it, good luck to them.
  4. Young is 4 million years old. So him. I would even say Timmy should replace young.
  5. Replacing Smith 100% wasnt the wrong decision, anyone who thinks his time hadn't come is using some super thick claret & blue tinted glasses. Whether we replaced him with the right manager though, is clearly debatable.
  6. that doesnt cover champ rules tbf, im fairly sure champ clubs can loan 2 from the same club.
  7. anyone see how he did in his 4 minute cameo?
  8. surprised he hasnt come on at 1-1 to do some smeshing.
  9. The true test of a player's ability is whether they can competently play at right back. - Steve Bruce (maybe).
  10. i remember when Davis broke in to the first team, he really looked special, i also remember after some of his performances he was attracting the attention of Manure. Whether he would have developed better and achieved a higher level if we had managed his development better, who knows, but we really did him dirty with the terrible way we managed his development. Obviously, his injuries didnt help over time, but we defo did him dirty in terms of his development. such a pity, but glad to see we are doing better now with developing our youth players.
  11. yeah, we need Kamara type players in the midfield 3, who can control possession and distribution with composure, allowing our "wing backs" and front 3 to do their thing. (if thats what you meant).
  12. so where do you expect us to finish this season?, considering we have the same coaching team in place (unless you include Smith in that).
  13. i know we have signed 5 players, 2 "new" first team starters, but with Carlos injured, thats now effectively only 1 new player added to the starting 11. I know Carlos looked good, and so does Kamara, but actually only having 1 new player in our starting 11 after a whole summer is actually not great. I think we probably needed 3-4 new starting 11 players if we were serious about pushing on, and with some of the signings other teams have made, im not even sure we are "standing still", we might even be going a little backwards, although 14th would be hard to do worse than on balance, so maybe we are roughly at the standing still position (mid table), when you consider what other teams around us are doing.
  14. Something that crossed my mind more than once, just imagine if we made some different choices in the transfer market over the last 3 years, ie: Didnt buy: Traore - 16m El Ghazi - 8m Trezeguet - 9m Jota - 4m Samatta - 9m Total - 46m Did buy: Raphinha - 16m Eze - 16m Bowen - 19m Total - 51m Add Buendia to that list, and we would have had some AM/forward four lol. (before anyone wets their pants, ye i know its hypothetical etc etc and its impossible to be right 100% of the time)
  15. how are Leeds and/or SHA doing these days?
  16. Watford have apparently rejected a 20m bid for Joao Pedro from Newcastle.
  17. McGinn's version of spread the play.
  18. Considering a move to us, i heard we made an enquiry.
