cyrusr Posted August 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) 32 minutes ago, Tubby said: Posted in Relegation thread but... Not good enough: Richards Okore Gardner Veretout Gestede Gabby Lescott Squad: Bunn Hutton Cissokho Westwood Bacuna Grealish Traore Solid: Baker Amavi Tshibola (limited time but looks the part; passes, challenges etc.) Ayew Class: Gollini Elphick McCormack In conclusion that's seven first teamers and a bench full of squad players. Therefore we need 4 players minimum - RB, CM, AMC, CF and probably a winger and another CB Let's be pleased the signings made so far are on the right side of our needs Agree mostly, but probably would put Okore, Gardner (just), Veretout and Gestede in squad also. Okore looked better in first half, and was covering Richards as well. When he was partnered with Baker it looked better. Baker definitely looks more solid right now and deserves to be partnering Elphick; but would rule Okore out of being in the squad. Would prefer Cissohko out but given Bennett going we do need cover. Would say 2 (1 defensive, 1 attacking/creative) midfielders, a target/poacher up top and a right back are essential. Was beginning to think Richards night be OK as back up until tonight but now think this is needed. I don't think this result would have changed players minds, but they might ask for a few more grand to their wage packet... Given that comment from Xia, does begin to make me think this was for them to play for the shirt.I think we are going to see A LOT of movement over the next few weeks.

Delphinho123 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I hope to god any potential signings didn't watch that. Who would want to join us, honestly? Its just a collection of losers kicking the ball around. My god we're in trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also akin to spending a wedge of cash on a property that you think you can renovate and improve only to find that it's got subsidence, dry rot, wet rot, is on a flood plain and is inhabited by a bunch of lazy good for nothing squatters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subsidence - Hutton. Dry rot - Gardner. Wet rot - Bacuna. Flood plain - Richards. Lazy, good for nothing squatters - Lescott & Gabby.

So far his dealings in and out have been impressive. Also agree about the need to replace much of the squad. I've read that such wholesale changes are unrealistic, but tonight has shown us that we are attempting to build on rotten foundations. If your head drops after conceding a goal to Luton Town, you have no place in a team who aspire to return to the Premier League. We aren't going up this season with these players so i see no reason against a complete purge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
