alreadyexists Posted June 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) To be fair to Bacuna he didn't play badly last season, ok he was stupid with that red card... but in that game he was MOTM, and other games he played well. Edit: not saying he's the answer to any problems this year, just that's he wasn't terrible last year.

Doesn't matter, you will be bombarded by melodramatic posts along the lines of "If Bacuna is anywhere around this squad it will signal where we intend to go". "May as well throw in the towel" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"May as well throw in the towel" etc. Bacuna shows desire even if he hasn't got the skills to match. He's not improved for a few years. It was him who inspired us v Reading away after a drab 1st half. We've now got a lot of players that have been leaders previously at their clubs who need to be the ones who inspire the team as they're better quality players. I think from a fan base we need a signing to get us off our seats. We need that spark. I'd love us to go in for Young and have him as our big outlay this summer. If not someone in that mould. An exciting direct winger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a balance though, young prospects and experienced heads together. It should never be one or the other 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would shock Harry himself! 7 hours ago, AntrimBlack said: Unless we get our act together, they will have a better chance of top six than us. We will and must. Even if we didn't they would not have a better chance of top 6 than us with or without Terry. We may have our pre-season concerns but they will do well to end the season within 30 points of us. Back to transfers it is no shock that Mooy is on his way to Huddersfield in the PL if they are able/prepared to pay £10m for him. I think he could have done a job for us but is there any chance we are looking at Jackson Irvine from Burton who Clough admits they may struggle to hold onto instead?

Jas10 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Been linked with Januzaj, would be a great signing imo. Something worth get excited over... Seems like more speculation, rather than rumours with much real basis atm, but this is a more promising link than those to players at the end of their careers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not be a proper transfer window if we were not. Is it a potential loan deal and if so could we also loan Johnstone from the same club? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Jack... that's an awful lot of ego for one squad to deal with given such poor achievement in their respective careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player is capabale of cracking the odd goal from 20 yards, he just happened to do it in his first few games and has been living off that hypre ever since. It was Man U so that hype instantly quadruples. Has done nothing since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Januzaj's attitude is an utter joke by all accounts. We don't need anymore of these signings, regardless of talent, though that is getting more and more debatable with each passing season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
