fightoffyour Posted January 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2022 They've probably got enough to stay up now but I expect it to go all the way. Don't forget that Watford might improve under Roy, Deano's on a run with Norwich, and Burnley have signed a better striker to play in their 11 games in hand.

villalad21 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Have my doubts about how Targett will cope with a roaring, demanding St James Park crowd. Wish him all the best but I think he will struggle. Won' get much defensive support from Maximin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I thought on paper they were the best of the four already they just had the worst manager in Bruce and the mental fragility thanks to Ashley Biscuit buddies aren't going to call out Bruce This is going to be spun in the biggest miracle the PL has ever seen... No one will remember the other teams down there with them being utter dogshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Lascelles still is proof of how you can't polish that turd of a defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Not really sure what to make of their window. Targett, Trippier and Guimaraes are good signings. But still feels like they will end up relying on moments of magic from Saint-Maximin to win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moustache of Teale Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Targett and Burn are an upgrade on what they currently have. Whether Burn can replicate his Brighton form, in a different system and under a different manager, remains to be seen. If they’d signed these 2 under Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce, the fans would be in uproar. Guimares sounds very highly rated and will likely turn out to be a very good signing long-term. However, with the step up to the pace and physicality of the Premier League from Ligue 1, it could take him some time to adapt. They needed another attacking player but they’ve failed to land one. It’s a mixed bag. I think they’re strong enough to stay up, but I really hope I’m proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Targett is a very good left back. Lets not try say he isnt. For me its a massive signing for them Targett was pretty dreadful against watford. Luckily i dontvthink they play again as all watford would have to do is stick sarr on targett and its game over. Despite that targetts a veey solif left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Bring in their record signing on a 4 and a half year deal, everyone else on 2 and a half year deals or loans. Smart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
