Mr_Dogg Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I think he's a good player but not the answer to any of our problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you liked Bruce, but unfortunately this is looking more and more like a very similar appointment with each passing week. We have no pattern or cohesion and look a very ordinary outfit - I feel the Everton win, just papered over the cracks. I think many of us feel this way. Oh for pity’s sake. I spent some time I will never get back yesterday encouraging people not to obsess about the past in terms of who said what about Dean Smith because it is a long time in the past now and irrelevant. But really to start talking about Steve Bruce, FFS, do you know how long it is since Bruce has anything to do with this club? And quite how massively our present situation differs from how things were when Bruce was manager? @TRO certainly doesn’t need me to defend him but it is such arrant nonsense to say that he “liked Bruce” and such a distortion of the facts, you should hang your head in shame. I remember well disagreeing with @TRO because he spotted much earlier than I did that Bruce was leading us to failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I’ve always rated Sarr tbh, and the price being quoted isn’t much in today’s market. But it won’t solve our problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember well disagreeing with @TRO because he spotted much earlier than I did that Bruce was leading us to failure. Who said anything about defending himself - I was simply making comparisons between Bruce and now Gerrard and unfortunately there are now many similarities - eg lack of cohesion or identity and quite frankly very poor to watch. I am somewhat surprised that you can’t see similarities between the Bruce ball era and now? I hope I am wrong - but fear Gerrard is taking the club backwards - as was Bruce, hence my original point This just does not have a good feel about it - surely you would be feeling the same ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Need a Central Midfielder and Central defender. Buy a winger for £25m. We don't have a transfer plan anymore do we. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's much more.exposive than Traore. I'd argue they are totally different players. Traore is more of a skill and finesse player. Sarr is more like an old school, dynamic, pacery winger / wide forward. Edited August 20, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember him being described as one dimensional before he came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just been destroyed by Palace and have lost two out of 3 games against opposition we should be beating… not looking good. Thrash out this deal and release the news asap! Sarr is a good player. The coaching staff are bad coaches. This probably won’t work out along with the rest of the (handful of) talented players we have. Mate, do you think the deal was pursued and agreed after the match . It appears they've obviously been working on it behind the scenes.

This is why I'm floating the idea that we probably want stronger players all over the pitch, even in forward areas, which I'd actually agree with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea probably getting things in place, but actually pulling the trigger… that didn’t happen until we just so happen to lose to Palace. Like I said in the transfer thread, if we had won today I don’t think we would have pursued it further. I think there might be two more as well. Proper panic in my view.
