When Wigan were in the prem they were our curse at home, I remember we only beat them once and that was under McLeish They used to just turn up and win no matter what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought would be a winnable game Then Brentford took that spot in the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheff Utd have far too many forwards, without any of them being of sufficient quality for their area of the league. They should keep Mousset and McBurnie as back up, maybe Sharp for sentimental reasons, but there's no reason to hang on to McGoldrick or Robinson, and they need a new starter.

McGoldrick is the main striker, he doesn't score but huge impact on the team. Except Sharp, Wilder likes non goalscoring strikers who work for the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 12 hours ago, Zatman said: Valeri Bojinov, think he is youngest player to play in Serie A. Had big clubs chasing him then disappeared Had two bad injuries at Man. City. Pretty sure he did his ACL in the warm up at VP on opening day of 2008 season (Gabby 7 minute hat trick). Ched Evans came in and made his debut for Man. City that game and think Daniel Sturridge also played for them. Their last game before they were taken over IIRC.

Moussett's done pretty well this season from what I've seen. Very good out ball for them to get up the pitch with his pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjvilla Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I miss @Michael118 . His mad antics were brilliant. The excellent goalkeeper we should've signed, (according to him) Costel Pantillimon, has failed at Forest and gone on loan to some Cypriot side. Who else did he say he liked as a player? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Solomon Kalou linked to West Ham. Another you think must be over 40 now but in his mid 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Andre Moreira. Completely forgot we signed him and he played games for us. We must be reaching double figures for goalies who have started at least one game for us in the last couple of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bizarre players in the list. Haller was in the top 10 and he had only joined. Didnt even remember Carew playing for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
