Haven’t read through 3500+ pages, but hopefully someone else has pointed out that we do have Brazil’s first choice striker, proven in the league, who’s had a year to adapt to the club. Realistically anyone else would be back-up or competition at best, not a new obvious first choice.
Having said...
Still have Rodon, don’t we? Had fairly high hopes for him actually.
I still feel like we need the player Ndombele was supposed to be: powerful box-to-box with goal threat. As for creativity we do have Winks, Alli, Lo Celso, Gil and none of them are getting much game time so can’t see us finding...
Let's not forget he did enough at Newcastle when they were relegated to be a France regular for the Euros 2016. And to be fair, he was absolutely unplayable up there at times - I think he could be excellent as part of a midfield Three playing off Rondon/Rodriguez at West Brom.
It doesn't, though it matters for me when a team is bankrolled to such an extent that it inflates the (football) economy and makes it almost impossible for smaller clubs to compete - and it also highlights the fact that we're mental to put so much support, emotion and money into what becomes...
You would preferred a bank rolled team to win it because it means less to who? the supporters? I understand your position on their fans but at least their supporting a proper football club and not some rich guy's plaything.
But they have also played excellent football this season, and to me it...
Well, considering the alternatives are Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal, and that they play the best football in the league without ruining the game with stolen oil money I certainly hope they do!
Not going to happen, but let's stay positive. Watched the match with an Everton fan yesterday, and he was delighted they still had something to play for at this stage of the season. Puts it in perspective, really, we've been blessed with exciting, though mostly disappointing, ends to the season...
He's making some very good points, though rash decision on hiring and firing and lack of consistency in, erm, governance models (i.e. technical director, director of football, manager, first team coach) are the elements that are making us a little bit of a joke. Having said that I agree that our...
Well it's not like you learn much from a Mourinho or Wenger interview either, is it? Post-match interviews are media work and most of them time just a complete load of bs, not tactical autopsy for fickle fans.
As for the match itself Everton did look the better team, but I thought we did very...
Yes and no, he's the former technical director, integral part of the club and currently manager with a Director of Football and the Chairman above him - it's not Sherwood spending the money. Maybe we should wait until we have a more permanent manager in place, but it's still Baldini's (and...
If there's a will there's a way, I'm sure - though if the club doesn't really want to sell and the players needs some convincing it's hardly an ideal bargaining position to be in. Probably some other good reasons to leave this late, but it seems strange to me..
You what? We lack creativity - buy Eriksen; lack cover in DM - buy Capoue; lack a world class striker - buy Soldado; need a new keeper - buy one of the best around; defensively shaky and limited LB cover - buy Vertonghen; sell Bale - buy the guy all of SC thought was the best young inverted RW /...
