    Player Watch : Vincent Janssen

    But to get games you have show enough potential in the games you do play. For example, Winks has, Ononmah hasn't. And Janssen hasn't shown enough in my opinion. If I could describe the problem as succinctly as possible: he's simply unable to create enough separation between himself and defenders...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all wonder what's going on at United?

    We really want Man U to get the semi finals as the 2nd leg will be the Thursday before our last home game at WHL, so hopefully they'll have had another long trip before that game.

    Excellent post. I think there are easy targets to criticize like Sissoko but with younger players it's easy to just say he needs time, etc. A simple post like "he'll come good" can get a 100 positive ratings while the lengthy post articulating why he won't necessarily will be down rated. It's a...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all wonder what's going on at United?

    Playing on a potato field in Russia just about sums up the Europa League. Hope we go nowhere near it again for a decade at least. I'm looking forward to seeing Arsenal join Man Utd in learning what Europa League purgatory is next season. They'll be stuck in it for years hopefully.

    No, that's out of order. I'm committing to an opinion based on my experience of watching and playing football, and my hunch second guessing Poch by having observed him for for a few years now. If you don't want people to do that on this site, well it's your site, what can I say, but it's my...

    Player Watch : Vincent Janssen

    He's become a useful squad player who can cover two positions and seems content with not being a starter. Don't think anyone can claim he's been a massive success here by any means. But if you want, we'll call that the exception that proves the rule. We all know the player I've been most...

    Summer Transfer Wish List - 2017

    I've corrected your post for you:

    Spurs could have had Ousmane Dembele and Alexander Isak

    I don't believe this Greg Stobart is genuine ITK. He may have been once but he isn't anymore. He's just making stuff up to drive traffic to his website. Ousamane Dembele was a well known prospect, not some secret known only to scouts. He had many clubs interested in him but concluded Dortmund...

    Player Watch : Vincent Janssen

    No player I've been openly critical and not rated has ever gone on to be given a new contract by Poch. Not one. And by contrast, many players I've rated have been. When I say "Janssen will be sold in the Summer" it's like virtual itk. Edit: To clarify, I'm referring to this Summer, which...

    Summer Transfer Wish List - 2017

    He's been playing wide for Stoke and doing very well, though he doesn't have great pace, which is something we're missing as it is. I think he could play a number of positions but I find the similarities between him and Dembele quite striking so think he could end up a CM, which isn't where...

    Eric Dier and the Defensive Dilemma for Spurs

    Stop being a whiney little girl and spamming up threads by moaning about ratings! Take them like a man! Like I've taken your one about my comments about Ramadan, even though I know it's a revenge rating. Your post offered nothing of any interest, which is usual for you. There are clear issues...

    Summer Transfer Wish List - 2017

    I've been scouting Ramadan some more. I think Poch could mould him into a Dembele type player, though one with a bit more to offer going forward. He's very strong and difficult to get off the ball. Very skillful player.

    Player Watch : Vincent Janssen

    It's the easiest thing in the world to just say such and such a player just needs time. The truth is, the people saying it have repeatedly been shown to be the amongst the poorest judges of players here. They have no idea what they're supposed to be looking for, none at all. And when they're...

    Summer Transfer Wish List - 2017

    When players continually breakdown with muscle problems and other injuries it means their body is telling them something: it's time to go to West Ham.

    Arsenal

    Arsenal's odds of finishing in the top 4 are drifting. They're 10/2 against now.
