In Talksport's scientific poll, our away kit has been voted 2nd worst in the league this year. Behind Swansea and Sunderland's monstrosities....
I don't expect many to take much away from this, but it's as good an excuse as any to dislike Talksport a bit more.
Hopefully Gestede, Kozak, Ayew & Gabby have all impressed enough in training to convince Tim that spending these kind of wages just isn't needed. 4 strikers (plus upcoming players from youth) SHOULD be enough for a team without European commitment anyway.
It's those set pieces though. It's been so many years since we last had someone who can take one. Probably since Young!
Sure Veretout took some mean dead-balls in the mandatory youtube reel !
To me the bit before the comma contradicts the bit after it.
What I was thinking, I tried to analzye every possible meanging in my head and only came up with they were the only good players in a shit team...and without them...even shitter?
I can understand it - we've been dog-awful with them in the team for a few years now. Why not freshen things up completely. Not to say I agree with it, but I understand the thinking
Time to realise that Bannan, Delfouneso, Clark, Baker, Lichaj etc etc haven't had a very good game in 2 years+.......it probably isn't going to start magically happening now.
QPR, Sunderland and West Ham are spending fortunes on overpriced or past it average/bog standard footballers though......I'd much rather us bide our time to sign the right players than do what QPR are doing.
I don't want us to be a part of the world where Jarvis and Dawson are worth 10m!
They're in for a real shock then aren't they?
I'm serious. If he's mixed then it could very well be Olsson, but if he was proper black (like Heskey) then it could be M'Bia. I'm just trying to narrow it down.
It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.
Thats the problem right there.
There doesn't seem to have been a stampede to sign him up so far. £25K a week is better than nothing. He might be damn glad of any offer now.
There's a damn fine reason why there hasn't been a stampede to sign him so far......
