Laughable Chimp Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 1 hour ago, Delphinho123 said: I do wonder if he’s come here to play as a defensive midfielder. Maybe not first choice, but I think he’s better than we all think in that position. It’s such a good deal on a free. Really smart business. I did consider that too. And by all accounts he was pretty good in that position when he was at Fulham. It makes me wonder why he never played there for Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) This signing could be a transfer master stroke. Edited January 29, 2022 by Keener window-cleaner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa 59 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 No idea why anyone would turn their nose up at this signing. We've effectively signing a player for nothing who can play in 3 different positions. To me, it's great business! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Stevie G will do his best. I can't blame him for taking the job. I am angry at those who made the decision to appoint him. Pretty sure he won't be a success here - I shudder to think what kind of a state the club will be in when the club decides to dispense with his services. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I'd genuinely just ignore anything Hippo posts with regards to SG. He's made it clear that there will be zero objectivity from him with Gerrard, no matter what, multiple times.

What gave you seen since Gerrard was appointed to suggest this? Guess the fair concern a fan could voice to support the idea of us being in a bad place when he leaves would be the shift to signing players later in their careers on big big wages… IF Gerrard fails and we end up stuck with them not performing, it ends up a bit like when MON left with a squad full of overpaid, over-age guys and people like Cahill had been shipped out. This is not my view to be fair - I was one who openly said I was worried the appointment was a gamble but have seen enough from him to not think it will be a big failure, whether or not it turns into a big success.
