I definitely agree we should have tried to bring loans in that would have improved us. Maybe we did try. It would have helped.
-
It's so easy to write this but it doesn't make it true.
-
Oh I see your angle is being a deliberate idiot.
-
In another post you said we still spent **** all? Building a squad from scratch in two months to compete with 19 teams with established squads is not easy. Everyone else was in a better position than us when we were promoted by an insane margin. How many times has it happened to other teams like it happened to us this pre season? It can't be many and the warning signs were there and we all knew it. We had about eight players.
-
This literally means nothing. Football fans getting carried away? What a shocker.
-
Why wouldn't he have? You've just decided he wouldn't have but you don't know. Nobody knows. The thing with Benteke was he pretty much made his own goals anyway. Anyway, I'm out of here. I think I'll leave you all to twist stats and sensationalise everything. See everyone in August or September or whenever football starts again.
-
That graphic doesn't really tell the whole story does it? We all know how our squad was before the season started.
-
Take Benteke out of that team and how well do you think Lambert would have done?
-
Getting promoted last year from where we began was a big achievement. I'm willing to stick by him. This year, with the lack of quality in the squad bar 2/3 players, we were always up against it. Watford, as I said above, have quality up front that we could dream of. They could easily not have beaten Norwich without Welbeck's overhead kick. Sarr, £30million, scored two against Liverpool, and Deeney, a proven performer in the prem got one with Welbeck on the bench. We are a makeshift team, but that's a direct consequence of Tony Xia.
-
Look at Watford's strikers then look at ours. If we had Deeney and Welbeck in our squad we wouldn't be 19th right now.
-
That team doesn't need gutting. Not at all. It needs development by adding in the right players. There's a core of players that will do well in the Championship that we can add to. And of course we'll add to them. If/When the inevitable happens, I don't feel we're in as bad a position as last time.
-
I was saying this back in the day. Everyone was so sure he was better than Wesley. He might be OK if he had some more chances, but he's really barely done anything. Davis is so much better, but there's no point bringing him on now. Save him for Palace.
-
I'll say something positive about him. Judging by Jota's appearance against Liverpool, he's better than Jota at least. That's all I have.
-
The gap between us and the top teams now may be bigger than the equivalent back then I feel.
-
Inspiring. OK Come on Norwich (vs. Watford). And then West Ham vs. Watford. And then everyone else vs. Watford.
-
Bet it's literally a tweet. Or someone read a tweet and told him what was on the tweet. Or someone saw Purslow and Smith talking together on the TV and then told him. Apologies to avfc1982 but I think a lot of people have a bullshit alert when it comes to 'from what I gather...' type posts.
-
He's been under contract at a Championship club until this season and pretty much injured most of the time this season.
-
Genuinely think he's looked the same before and the same after.
-
British is the nationality for people from the UK—so he'd definitely be considered a British manager—unless he thought of himself as Irish and not British. Britain is doesn't exist unless you're saying Great Britain (the island itself), which is what you were saying, and being real casual so missing the first word.
-
It depends if we have to buy an entire team or not, but we've all talked about that before and don't need to do it again. Anyway, the January transfer window in the Championship went pretty well.
-
We wouldn't have to use all the same players. I believe there is a transfer window!
-
I got the day wrong.
-
This isn't a sign of bad positioning. If he was marking the winger all game it would be. The defence moves left or right depending where the play is and they try to minimise space between them. It's a fundamental of football. The alternative is to leave enormous gaps between your back four for players to run into and exploit. I'm genuinely confused by this comment.
-
Presumably we don't want to replace our entire team again. Put it this way, replacing El Ghazi would be low in my list of priorities. But Trezeguet—I'd value him at about 500k, and think he'd start being effective at around League 1 level.
-
El Ghazi is fine for the Championship if needs be. But the other two need replacing.
