BOF Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 Whilst I know the massive clearout was needed (for crap players) and expected (for good players), and some of the links look pretty exciting, I can't help but get very nervous about going into the season with essentially and entirely new team / squad. I know Southampton managed to do it pretty well, but the history of other sides making wholesale changes isn't great. Tim hasn't much management experience and despite his massive self-confidence this is an enormous challenge - getting possibly 8-10 players firing together in a couple of weeks. It's going to be a nervous ride I think. Yep there is a tipping point where you lose too many people and you lose the cohesion in the side. It becomes like first day at school where no-one knows anyone else's name Spurs went years doing that and it pissed my mate off no end. They basically threw away the first couple of months. He's only too happy that they've been quiet this summer because they'll probably hit the ground running. But I suppose you could say they only have this quiet window because they did the chopping and changing in the past. This might be a necessary window for us to go through, provided we manage to stay up in the process ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatty Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I hope that the odds shortening on Villa signing Charlie Autstin QPR aren't just due to the media putting 2 and 2 together considering our Benteke money... I'd really like to see Austin at Villa and hope we can get this done quickly now, imo he'd be a great addition. Adebayor on loan would be interesting too and our front line with this pairing could be formidable, I said previously I'm not really a fan attitude wise but when he's on it and fancies a game there is no denying his ability. Someone mentioned earlier that Adebayor would need to have a good season to put himself in the shop window for a big money move in the summer when he is out of contract, I totally agree and I wouldn't mind us exploiting that motivation and sure TS fancies his chances of getting a good season out of him. 100k a week might be a bit rich and I see west ham linked too, they'd pay it im sure and far more local to him so we'll how this progresses.

Delphino is the only one but his info is about the kit, not the playing staff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
