So many of the players fans have wanted over the years have gone onto to do nothing at a mid to lower level but at the time fans thought they were perfect for us. But we haven't been on a level to possibly even consider talking about really good players for so long. @DaveAV1 touched on it yesterday I think about having ready made high level players, it's such a fine line for us because our midfield is somewhere around mid table, YET!! I hear some say but we have a chance right now to capitalise on passing a possible Kane less spurs that would be bang average and a shite Arsenal. But as I've said it's a fine line, some days I wake up thinking the above and some days I love the idea of nurturing and building a player ourselves rather then spend a fortune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good enough for where we want to go in my opinion. SJM needs to play further forwards to be at his most effective. As a holder, in a two, he is ineffective.

The Fun Factory Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Demarai Gray seems a steal for £1.5m for Everton even if he is inconsistent and a bluenose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the feelings i have Phil. I do my back of a fag packet dream transfer window and can transform us into a scary scary team for a net spend of £60 mill and push for top 4 . And then scrub it off and think what if by the end of the season Jacob Carney and Jaden have exploded into life and we are seeing them push us top 8. I really don't know what i would love more . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, fans seem unbalanced on other players in good and bad ways but most of the time assume their view is correct and don’t understand why the club aren’t after them.

But then I haven't seen them play much either, so what do I know? Most fans I've seen rate both pretty highly. The only person on here who I've seen dislike ASM for example is just Kiwi/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want success after being starved of it for so long, Deano and Lange have to play big boys football manager unlike us, I'm not sure which way I'd prefer either, I just want success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know much about him but a quick google says he's a defensive midfielder with 1 year left on his contract. Also seems like he's going to Forest, so may have been someone further down on our list of potentials below Sarr, Doucoure etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd signed Gray and Townsend instead of Bailey Buendia Ings before Watford game people on here would've lost their minds but we lost to Watford and people lost their minds. Talking about Gray as a missed signing because of recent results is known in FPL circles as chasing last week's points 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Abdou Harroui doesn't really make sense as a target for me. He turns 24 in January so he's not a young prospect and I can't imagine he's someone who'll improve our current starting 11. We already have numbers in midfield, what we could do with is a top quality midfielder who's a clear improvement or offers something different to the ones we have. Can't see this guy being that player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Citeh came in for Watkins before deadline day do you think he’d want to stay here? I think we all want to see our youth come through and develop to the highest degree possible, beyond that loyalty to player X or Y is a suckers game. Would’ve thought we’d all learned that this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Palace in for Anguissa on loan. Be surprised if we weren't there as well or we weren't bringing in someone else instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
