The_Steve Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Arlind Sadiku is getting rinsed on Twitter about Rashica. He’s full of it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashica is also good enough for this level. The Bundesliga is a higher level in many ways. I never said Werner wasn't good enough for this level. But regardless he has struggled. You say they haven't played to his strengths but he's taken 11 shots and scored none, so it's not all on the team or manager. A player still has to perform, and a striker still has to take his chances. And you say Rashica is good enough for this level but that's just an opinion. I'm saying we don't know that yet, and either way he wouldn't have a hope in hell of living up to the hype on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 If Leeds or Southampton get him then something went really wrong somewhere. I hope we have an attacking player lined up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know he’s in a team and has a manager who are not playing to his strengths when you’ve said you don’t watch the Prem apart from Villa games and we’ve obviously not played Chelsea yet? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I know the players Chelsea have and the way they play under Lampard. And I know that it's totally different to the system he was in at Leipzig where he excelled. I said when he chose Chelsea that he'd picked the wrong team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 1 hour ago, Delphinho123 said: The one position I wanted to sign some real quality was on the right wing and I get a really bad feeling we’ve made a mistake in signing Traore. If he doesn’t perform, we’re left with Trez/El Ghazi again I think Traore will be a great signing, but whether you think that or not there’s no getting away from the fact that every signing is a gamble. You could just as easily say if Martinez doesn’t perform/gets injured we are left with Steer. You can’t say ‘IF signing X fails then the signing policy will have failed’ - that’s obvious whoever you sign. Not explaining myself well here. Let’s hope Traore tears it up...

VillaChris Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Seeing Wilson scoring another two tonight....what was our thinking there? We bid for him thinking we weren't going to sign Watkins even though that got agreed pretty quickly. Or we weren't going to sign Traore? And now we've got those two in we aren't going to sign anyone else even on loan even though our current CF backup last scored when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Even though we've done well in transfer market this summer still feels like we're gambling a bit in key position like last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unless you’ve seen Chelsea this season - they’ve got 5-6 different players since last season - I just don’t think you can make that statement. i think Werner is plenty good enough for the Prem but from what I’ve seen of him I think he’s been surprised at the pace and having less time before a challenge comes in and he’s been snatching at shots. Something he’d have faced whichever Prem team he would have joined. But hey, that’s only based on me actually watching him play for Chelsea this season.

If pace was our biggest concern then Wilson couldn’t have been a legit option. He looked so slow today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Without being an itk I definitely think Rashica was close to signing for us and for whatever reason just before the completion someone moved the goalposts and we've since moved on.

Could've done same here with Watkins, Traore and Jack who's pretty quick when on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so badly want to get into the “what kind of goals they are” debate lol but, at the end of the day he’s scoring and today makes 4 in 4 games.

They've played football manager this summer and it's going to be a big reason why I think they'll struggle this season and Lampard will probably be sacked. Werner will probably improve when Pulisic comes back into the team but I still think he chose the wrong club. Liverpool would have suited his style more.

I think there are a few similarities to this situation... Quote AGREEMENT ON TRANSFER FEE SOON? KLAASSEN CHANGE TO AJAX ALMOST PERFECT, BUT NO WERDER FAREWELL YET Updated: 03/10/2020 Bremen - It was this one sentence from Frank Baumann that made Davy Klaassen at SV Werder Bremen and a possible move to Ajax Amsterdam on Saturday evening look deep. "If the offer is right, which can happen, Davy will leave us," said the sports director of SV Werder Bremen to the TV broadcaster Sky after the 1-0 home win against Arminia Bielefeld, in which Davy Klaassen had worked for 75 minutes . Baumann also reported: “There was one or the other offer, so far it has not been to our satisfaction. If that doesn't change, Davy will stay with us.” That one sentence above indicated that both clubs must have come very close in haggling over the transfer fee and an agreement is imminent. Frank Baumann here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Fwiw Raschisca (whatever) was at the Werder game today in the stands. I watched the replay. They played another relegation rival and nicked a 1-0. Crap game and both of these clubs are in very big trouble imho. Weak af. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
