"Doing a Fulham" is more wishful thinking on their part than anything . I am still worried. We obviously had to buy a new team and that's been done rather well so far. But we still have to get the team to develop new relations and gel in the space of 4 weeks before we start up in a much better league. So yes I am nervous. Anything, but relegation is a huge success in my book. Edited July 21, 2019 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success for me would be having our games shown first on MOTD so I can go to bed. 3 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either he didn't realise this when he attempted it, or it was a failed cross. I'm still excited by this guy, but we shouldn't get carried away. I don't even understand why it's indirect. It looks a clear foul to me rather than obstruction. Good to know the standard of refereeing in Turkey is keeping pace with the championship.

Back to topic: Trezeguet, still come there which i don't want him come.. (breath in and out) yet be fair on him i think he is good option for back up to El Ghazi and Jota for come on from bench and make impact when opponent tired, or counter attack place - jota.

TrentVilla Posted July 21, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2019 Really excited about this lad, it’s a gamble but one that could really pay off and I’d much rather sign someone like this than some 28/29 PL journeyman. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Football is entertainment. This guy goes past people for fun. That's box office, even if it goes tits up a lot. Remember when Ashley Young first joined us? Everytime got the ball wide you could feel 40k inhaling and then rise to their feet in expectation. You need at least one player like that. A bit of X factor. Edited July 21, 2019 by Mazrim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every day of the week, filling the squad full of last contract players leads to situations that are terrible and we know all too well from our recent past. Buying 10 young players with potential means you can afford for some to fail, as the one's who make it pay for the rest and for the next round of investment. Aside from the resale and the financial side, the fact that Smith and his coaches are identifying a need for players like this (as opposed to only Jota types - technically excellent but not unpredictable and exciting) is great IMO. Gives us more as a group in both options and personality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very interesting to see what Smith can mould out of this group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally think most overseas reporting better than the majority of British football journalism. Would roughly tie in with the time scale that was being suggested elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
