He came on at 3-1 after 86 minutes, in, arguably, our best performance of the season; so not always one of our starting XI. The deals not done yet and we have no idea what offers are made or coming to fruituon. Why not just give events a chance of taking shape; it really does come across that you, and othets, just can't stomach Allam doing something right.
There's a lot of panicking on here, why not just wait until the end of the window? For all we know Silva is happy to sell the likes of Livermore & Snodgrass because he wants to bring in players that fit his new system. Every new manager who wants to completely change the way the team plays will need new players. Im more than happy to see Livermore and Snodgrass go IF Silva manages to bring in better players that improve our starting 11. We're in a bit of a transition period... maybe not the best time given the fact we're half way through a season and in a relegation battle.. but it is what it is, we have a new manager playing a new system and we'll need new players.
There's a trend for football fans to quote the lower (reported) prices for players their club buys and the higher reported prices for players their club sells. Amusingly, most of our fans seem to do the opposite with the Allams.
If you look at the players Silva is chasing it doesn't take a genius to work out the type of players he'll probably want to move on. Just face it folks, we're all going on a mystery adventure with Marco and it will probably be emotional.
Im enjoying the intrigue Beats the doom and gloom and a manager who has no ideas or is scared to try new things
The article on sky saying omar is imminent, was first posted yesterday and then re posted by Sky earlier today. Not sure what they class as imminent!!!
Not 100% sure if he's coming in ,as I mentioned in an early post the Dutch guy van der veil is still in the picture according to sky, Fenerbahce are willing to let him go but want a permanent deal, just wondering if maybe that why we agreed a fee for Jake (just guessing)got the impression MS was keen on him
I think this club now has the potential to reach a much higher level than we could have dreamed of with Bruce and Phelan.
I'm not 100%, but I think that might be the first PL game he hasn't started this season, utterly bizarre to suggest he's not a starting XI player. That's why I said 'it remains to be seen'. Of all the over top rants on this thread, you've picked a really innocuous post to have a go at.
I think the problem is under MS I don't believe he would be starting XI therefore take the rumoured 10mil and get players in who are starting XI in his style of play
At the start of the season Jake started in defence - we did well - when he moved into midfield we started getting tonked - when MS came and didn't play him we started winning again
He played 90 minutes in Silva's first game in charge, which we won 2-0. He would have played against Man United if he wasn't ill (we lost without him) and we won on Saturday when he played (though not much). Silva's only lost the game Jake didn't play in.
