Davies4England Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The squad we have is a good one. Very good, in my opinion. The swapp Milner. Any new manager will have plenty to work with. No offence mate but are you deluded or what, we do not have a very good squad far from it, we have one left back, a striker who cant score, a midfield back up of Salifou and Osbourne, a back up right back with no Premier League experince in Lichaj, Agbonlahor & Carew are never gonna score the goals to get us anywhere, Downing is average, we are severley weaker without Milner in our midfield and just content season after season to have the smallest squad, why we cant see the need for a decent striker is beyond me, as a club we have made more of an effort to showcase the new kit than sign players and even then they **** up the release of it so it comes out a month after the season starts, truly shocking for a club of this size, I will donate £10 to VT (sorry Im skint) if we finish above the blues this year.... I'll just reply to one bit... Agbonlahor 13 in 33 Prem games last year. Carew 10 in 30 Prem games last year. Utter bollocks there. Posting for effect, YAWN.

lmarsha_926 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The squad we have now finsihed 6th last season, Bouma has gone but he did not play and we have swapped Milner for Ireland. Young can play left back if it is ever needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 So many overreactions. How are people overreacting? If Petrov and Reo get injured for long spells, we're f**ked in the middle of the park. In November we have 3 games in 7 days, at the end of December we have 4 games in 9 days...That's without any cup games thrown in. If we play most of this season like we did against Everton we're going to get A LOT of injuries....are you shifting opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clubs, the fans would be burning effigies by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delph, Ireland and Sidwell and injured at the moment so theres 3 players that can cover. Fans asked for the youngsters to get a chance and now they can.

Tomaszk Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Well I'm glad we haven't appointed a crap manager and let him spend millions on shit players. He's just left... I joke, I joke. MON wasn't a crap manager, but he wasn't a brilliant one. He wasted a horrendous amount of money and left us in a shocking position just because Randy wouldn't continue to fund his gathering of crap players. We've been competing with the likes of Spurs and Everton spending similar to spurs and about 3 times as much as Everton and still have gaping holes etc etc... Manager is more important than getting anyone and getting some players in who will be no good come next season. Of course, if we now appoint Southgate, everything is irrelevant. Randy has inadvertently put himself under a LOT of pressure to get a top manager now. If the manager isn't a big success in his first few games, he will be under fan pressure from the off.

I say, wait until the manager is unveiled and if it's someone who we could've gotten weeks ago or who generally isn't good - then we can start with the conspiracies.

Davies4England Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 We have as many midfielders as we did last year, so I don't know why people are moaning now... We've just replaced Milner with Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So? The problem being stated is depth. We had the same depth last year, and the same amount now with an improved Albrighton. I'm not denying we need more midfielders but it's been a case for over a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the manager isn't a big success in his first few games, he will be under fan pressure from the off. Appointing the new manager was always the biggest decision Randy has to make. Find it laughable that the same people who are decrying Randy and Kmac for their lack of nous are also demanding that they should have made signings before the window closed. Once MON flounced off we were in 'batten down the hatches mode'. New manager first and then look to strengthen in Jan. In the meantime we have more than enough to compete till then.
