I think it's fucking embarrassing tbh. We've brought in a number of players over the last couple of windows, this one has just opened, and everyone's losing their shit over "whisperings" from supposed ITK (not directed at anyone here) and jumping to all sorts of conclusions. IF (and it's a BIG...
Great win. Our start was my favourite thing about it tbh, and we’ll do a lot better if we get more of those. They made us look really poor for the latter half of the first half, and a better side than them would surely have punished us, but thankfully we were able to weather the storm. They were...
They are though because, other than Porro whose release clause is known, those fees are just speculative. They also don't take into account salaries, signing-on fees, agent fees etc. This is my problem with these over-simplified Football Manager-type breakdowns. They sound great on paper, but...
I can go through our squad and do the same thing of finding all the reasons for something to work one way and not the other. The fact remains though that Howe has come in and worked with what he's got which, similar to us, consists of players that have been brought in and players that were...
Lenglet is a very capable defender, and has been so far for us.
Re RWB, prior to his injury last season, Doherty started to play a lot better, such that we considered his injury a blow to our Top 4 hopes when it happened. We also bought a £20m RWB that we so far haven't given any sort of...
I personally never pay any mind to ITK, but even just glancing in the forum there are "assurances" (if that's your kind of thing) that players are being gone after. So again, the opprobrium being directed towards the board seems disproportionate given that Conte is more at fault for our current...
7 or 8 is still a pretty good window in my book.
Injuries and form are just a part of life at this point. Even taking them into account, I think we should be playing better than we have been, and getting better results too.
Over the last couple of months, the reasons given for our poor form...
There's a lot of goalpost-moving going on in here. After the Brentford and (especially) Villa games, all the complaining was about how he hadn't been backed, we hadn't bought the players he'd asked for, and as such he couldn't be expected to do any more with such a shit squad of players that had...
Actually, when your finances are finite, you realise you can't spend £50m+ on every player, which sometimes means spending £20m on a player with potential that you hope can develop into a £50m+ player.
Chelsea are a terrible example to compare us with actually, given that their position has...
Yep. No BS excuses about "the same players that let successive managers down" either. Almiron, Joelinton, Schar, Sain-Maximan etc are all on their 4th or 5th season and 3rd or 4th manager now, and he's managed to improve them.
Yet ours are all so uncoachable...
