The SC Hivemind

[Blake Griffin]

The latter.
It's certainly what I've read on here.
Rate all of them except Davies over Rose at the moment.
Davies hasn't done much yet and Rose is looking better.
Eriksen will inevitably be sold on sooner rather than later.
Too good for a team that finishes 6th.

the majority of sc loves soldado and lamela. most rate walker too. i think the only accurate depiction of sc in your list is the rose one.

It all depends on how the player played and who on here is on there period that week, I have seen lamela, walker and sold ado slated on here.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Very few people actually have those opinions though...

A vocal minority, perhaps.

Although I think a fair majority hold at least some of them (Rose for eg)

 

[CowInAComa]

My favourite hivemind opinion is that had we signed Moutinho every single flaw in AvBs management and tactics would have been answered and we would have been an unstoppable football machine.

Also every single target we miss out on is a show stopper and the key player we needed, as opposed to the players and targets we do get.

Not sure of the percentages for or against.
'Most' ,' many' or 'a lot' whatever it's guesswork
Certainly a lot of people are desperate for
Lamela and Soldado to come good.
Walker will be our biggest money spinner for years
probably as soon as next season.
All three of these are consistently slagged off on here.

 

[CowInAComa]

Also that Gylfi, and Dempsey were complete shit..and endlessly slagged off all game every game even when scoring regular and important goals.

Chelsea mate of mine was laughing at me in the pub last night about getting rid of Siggy, thinks we made a dumb move there. Wurst thing is that I couldn't really disagree

 

[nssmuckers]

I would have rather got rid of Paulinho than Gylfi, and I actually still rate Paulinho :x

Why? We basically swapped a player we didn't really need for a player we really did need.

What's dumb is having an unbalanced squad.

I support the club and the shirt, players just rent it.

i agree... but for me, i love all our players and our former players, ok most of them. Maybe i am so far away form u guys that to me that i do not know anyone who is close or connect to the club in anyway. and hence.... the players are like superheros to me.... heck even the non playing stuff are like their sidekicks..... heck if i ever to meet the tea lady or even a toilet cleaner at WHL i would be impress and wanting to her stories to feel closer to my beloved club. Maybe because i am Asian, we really love everything connected with the club and have always wish to see a match live, to walk no the WHL pitch, heck to when drive by the stadium would be trilling. (i have a man utd supporting friend who just drove by OT and he was pasted to the window of the car like a lizard stuck to the windscreen.) That is heaven to us.

Yap, and i too miss the passion players like Keane, those who wear their heart on the sleeve. but i guess thats not the way these days.

too long for a haiku

Sun on the cockerel
recalls those passionate hours
Spent at White Hart Lane.

Just for the record:that's a Haiku.
Traditionally three lines with 5/7/5 syllables
and a moment of passion, insight or revelation.

Rose will always have a special place in my heart... after this:

even if he retires tomorrow.... he will never be forgotten..

The hivemind is willing Soldado to be successful and playing up everything he does but are simultaneously waiting for Kane to fail.

 

[mpickard2087]

Yep anything Soldado does competently gets raved about.

Its amusing though.

 

[Bobbins]

As with everything it's not everyone - I'm desperate for both to succeed and have defended both many times when they've been slated.

This one really drives me crazy...

Lamela needs to bulk up a bit.

Why? We're witnessing the accuracy of that statement right now. He's spent the whole off-season in the gym, he's visibly more powerful and it has immediately shown benefits in pre-season matches.

I don't subscribe to the 'bulk' part of the idea - he needed improved core strength, not to get ripped - but he's done exactly what many of us were saying he needed to do, which is to get stronger, and we'll soon see whether it works in the Premiership as well as it has worked in pre-season matches.

So essentially you're agreeing "he needs to bulk up" is bunkem then?

A great pre-season and powerful core, superb, but the Hive seems to think he should be coming back like Hulk or George Elokobi.
