icouldtelltheworld Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 We've now got by far the best team that we've had in at least 10 years, over to Dean now to get the best out of them. I'm sure that he's relishing the challenge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likes a UK based core, plays good football, proven himself at every level. It's possible... I think I'd prefer it if he just carried on snapping up various members of the England squad in the transfer market. Wouldn't be surprised to see all of Barkley, Mings, Grealish, Konsa and Watkins in the England squad if we put together a decent run. Maybe even Cash too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Pressure certainly is on now. I think it's safe to say the majority of fans are expecting mid table now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure didn't seem to get to Smith last season, so think he will cope. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) The difference this window is im fairly certain most of the signings so far were deano choices (except maybe 2) I reckon cash, barkley and watkins were deano choices. I prob think martinez and traore were committee choices. (Deano obviously involved and gave the ok, but I wouldnt be surprised if traore was partially a JT proposal, or at least he gave background etc) Edited September 30, 2020 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a prelude to attributing blame. All are made by ‘committee’. We win together and we lose together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Smith is another year wiser at this level, and our squads much improved and a year wiser too. I really want this to work with Smith and have high hopes it will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nout to do with your comment personally. I think Smith got the players that were agreed upon last season also. Just don’t think viewing transfers as ‘x’ persons man is helpful. Optimistic or pessimistic. I just think it’s a dishonest way to support a stance. I think we have a transfer roadmap jointly decided and many potential transfers from a variety of sources put forward. Then a decision is made as a team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stegzy Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Loving the fact he’s putting together such an English base now as well with Targett, Mings, Konsa, Cash, Barkley, Grealish and Watkins all being first teamers either in (or around) the England squad or having the potential to get there. If Targett puts together a run he could have a great chance due to England left back shortage. Cash on the other hand has a lot to get past as we seem too o be be blessed at RB.
