Some clubs are owned by nation states, Wolves are owned by an agent. As it was happening I forgot the Mendes link to be fair. He's an outstanding player who we'll regret not trying for if it was ever an option. Just like Guimaraes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 8 hours ago, Peter Griffin said: So do u think our team is not good enough for top 8? There is nothing called Top 8 in this league. The 7th gets changed each season. Closest one was Leicester but again it was two seasons on row, then now West Ham. Add to that the fact that 6th (Man Utd) last season was only 58 points, while West Ham 7th on 56 points. If we can be consistent I don’t think Top 8 is hard to get (I’m not sure about our manager though). The main threats are: West Ham, Leicester, Wolves, Newcastle. Possibly Brighton and Palace. Who would you take as a starter from each team compared to ours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise it will have actually been harder to get the player, whilst he was free to go wherever he wanted right? Do you think Carlos or Kamara would have joined if your conspiracy theories were solid? If you're genuinely ITK into our status you should just let us know. Otherwise it's just. .. well. We are now essentially trying to discredit an outstanding piece of business, due to it being " free " and intelligent Im not saying that at all. The chap asked me if I would have preferred it if we had spent £60m on Kamara instead of picking him up for ‘free’. I said no. I also said that if the only way we could land him was by spending that amount of money, then I don’t think we would have landed him at all.

The point I was trying to make was that if we had bought Kamara instead of getting him on a free, we’d be much higher up that chart but not any better off player wise.

I believe that we will be in the hunt as one of those teams looking to finish 8th. I think we have as good a chance as any of the other teams fighting for 8th and that we will finish top half. Wether that is 8th, 9th or 10th will depend on lots of things and a bit of good fortune with no further signings and Gerard in charge at best this is massively optimistic. I'd go with wildly deluded. city, pool, spurs, arse, Chelsea, utd, West ham, Brighton, Newcastle, Leicester, Palace, Wolves, Brentford are all better than us. we'll be fighting with Southampton & Everton for 13th/14th.

Konsa is a liability at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 How do we feel about Eric Bailly? He’s the latest name to be linked. I’ve always thought he was a very good defender, but he was a bit injury prone not sure if that’s still the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Chalobah is a no from me. He's one of the only players to make Watkins look decent last year. Got subbed at half time if I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
