Clearly the coaching/recruitment staff are looking at general play as well as goal involvements, which is a relief. I know. I swear some people view football through the lens of stats. So much more to it than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Is McKennie the new Balloti from two summers ago? People hoping for a big finish to the window then it slams shut without so much as a sound. I obviously hope not just feel like we’ve been here before.

The Fun Factory Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 1 hour ago, MaVilla said: i have mentioned Delaney before, might be a good signing, experienced international, a little older and more experienced in a very important position, not young enough to impact our youth players coming through, i think he would be a clever signing. Would tick a lot of boxes but is a few years older than the 'normal' NWSE signing. Though that seems to be changing with Young and Ings coming in. I don't know I just have a feeling that we have done our business unless a ridiculously good deal is in the offering on deadline day. I think Purslow is wanting Deano to start playing our kids a a bit more this season as back up options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 44 minutes ago, est1874 said: Should is a good word for it actually, as it's conditional And that's exactly my original point - if we invest further and meaningfully in our midfield I believe we'd have a good chance of catching them But it's conditional on that, IMO. As things stand, we can fully expect the likes of West Ham, Spurs, Leicester, and possibly 1 or 2 others to finish above us. In addition to the Sky 4. Should does not mean will, or that we should "fully expect it". It is conditional on so many factors that I don't think it's reasonable to predict with any level of certainty either way. Regardless of whether we invest further in midfield. Basically, all of these teams have question marks hanging over their head. Including Leicester. So I am not buying into this certainty with which some folk are talking. I'm sticking with anywhere between 6th and 16th for the foreseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking you can throw in new players and they'll hit the ground running is idiotic and I want it now football manger video game mentality Playing devil's advocate a bit here, but you said that you think the current squad can finish 5th-10th. When Grealish was out last season our form was pretty terrible, and we now find ourselves in a position where we don't have him in the team anymore. Surely in order for us to finish as high as 5th, we would need all of our new attacking signings to hit the ground running. Ings looks like he has but we can't expect the same of Buendia and Bailey who, in my view, are going to be crucial for replacing what Grealish gave us. I'm expecting Traore to be better this season now that he has settled in, but we would do well to finish in the top half at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Not sure why people aren't understanding that Romano tweet, it's pretty clear... 'Tottenham are currently not negotiating with Juventus for Weston McKennie on potential swap deal with Moussa Sissoko. Both clubs are not interested. #THFC #Juve Juventus will only sell Wes McKennie if they receive “important bids” - more than €25/30m.' Tottenham and Juventus aren't in negotiations for McKennie, Juventus aren't interested in a swap deal and want a bid of more than £30m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) The 6 players who played in midfield last night: Tielemans Maddison Ndidi Rice Soucek Benrahma Not one of our midfielders would start ahead of those. Anyone saying that what we have gets us anywhere near a top 8 finish is off their tits. We need 2 new players in there. Or 1 and we settle for somewhere around 11th. Just depends how patient the board are for success. Edited August 24, 2021 by Delphinho123 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 He doesn't say they're in negotiations, he says that they're 'not' in negotiations, and then goes on to say 'both clubs are not interested', Juventus aren't interested in a swap deal and neither are Spurs. He's commenting on previous speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans, Rice, Soucek and Ndidi are a class above any of our CM's though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
