I don't think we're rotating strikers because we don't have like for like equivalents. For all of Ings' qualities, he couldn't do what Watkins does for us. The difference in presence up front was noticable whenever Watkins was dropped.
-
Is that what their clubs wanted though? I imagine Liverpool buying so many forwards has helped rotate Salah a bit, even if it's just to sub him off during games. They do have other options. Spurs seem to have tried it themselves—they have Son and others too (like we have Diaby to be fair), and who knows, if Spurs had managed to rotate a bit they might have actually won something and not finished below us last season.
-
But this is the crux. We don't have an alternative, and that's why we need to sign one. We can't expect Watkins to play 50+ games for 90 minutes. For me, Tammy would have been a great signing. I think he and Watkins both have decent presence up front, which Emery seems to prefer to a fox in the box type (Archer/Ings) who might disappear a bit at times.
-
The amount of assumptions stated as fact on here always surprises me!
-
He seems to be a massive pijo (if you know you know) and I just can't face us signing one. The pijos are the worst kind of Spanish person.
-
Very assertively put for something you've completely made up!
-
No his career is over and we can't sign any more players!

Konsa wasn't awful. He just made a mistake.

Presumably he'd be injured.

They/them already gender neutral when used in certain contexts. It seems in a way an obvious choice, but it is a bit awkward to get used to. Anyway, even as I type this I start realising that this is technically off topic.
-
Someone mentioned the other day that he would have missed the registration window for that game too. I don't know if this is right or not.
-
People can get confused by opinions. People are so sensitive these days! (For what it's worth he was also linked to Newcastle and Spurs)
-
It's so weird how people speak other languages. I don't understand. (I am being sarcastic)
-
The reactions on here? The same as it ever was.

I say 'Ah man...' in conversation with my girlfriend. It's not aimed at her at all. I wouldn't say 'Ah woman...' It's more like 'Ah F ck!'
-
Feels as if this narrative starts with 95% of our signings. The other 5% are Danny Ings, Tom Cleverly, and Mustapha Salifu (who I think all happened under the radar). The above radar ones though...
-
Digne is a good player. He's nowhere near as dangerous as Moreno, but as he showed on Saturday, he's a good Prem player for sure. He was our best performer imo. He's seemingly on too much money for his value in our squad, but yeah the hatred for him is weird. There's a fair bit of random anger on here!
-
I'm not one of those people you mention, but you're presuming a lot here. I don't know how you can be so confident declaring people's intentions. In 'their' defence, if Digne is on crazy high wages and he's our number 2 left back then it would make sense to rejig a little—and it appears as if both Emery and Monchi possibly think the same (sure maybe they think Acuña fits the system better). It's not a crazy bit of mathematics—money isn't endless. It doesn't have to be about Gerrard (but Gerrard putting Digne on a crazy contract is on Gerrard).
-
Of course you can criticise him, but if you say weird things like his form has dipped lately based on a sample size of one game you're going to have people question your logic to be fair.
-
Disingenuous. Moments last season doesn't equal a dip in form!
-
Maybe he wasn't so great against Newcastle (I don't remember him being standout bad at all), but that doesn't mean his form has dipped recently—that's what caught my eye. It was funny to see a comment like that after one game is all (And he was fine in preseason, and of course preseason doesn't count anyway)
-
Hold up—do you mean in the one single game we've had all season? I say that because there was nothing wrong with him at the end of last season. He's always had a game here or there where he's looked a bit off the pace, a bit too relaxed maybe. He has that in him, but happily it's just once in a while.
-
Ok, fair enough. I completely forgot about Moreno. So we need to buy one or two more. I'm not sure why it's relevant to Acuña though!
-
We just need to buy two more Spanish players. I suppose if we play three then we only need one more. EDIT: I forgot about Moreno.
-
I think he knows stuff. He's been impossibly right too. I wouldn't write him off.
