Bruce is basically shopping in Aldi on a fiver budget where everyone else can freely go to Tesco and hammer the plastic.
Decent accomplished PL and International player on a free. Better than what we have in that position.
Surprised by the negativity around this signing. I think its good business personally. Perhaps not a sexy name, so those who haven't seen him play are jumping to conclusions. He's been a fairly regular starter for Burnley who are consistently better than us. I think I read he played 24 times last season for them. Given they amassed 10 more points than us in a below par season for them in recent times, I'm struggling to see why fans are so negative. He's different to what we have to which is important if we want to get on the front foot. Rafa has left us with only counter attack midfielders (makes sense if you play defensive counter). Hayden, Shelvey, S Longstaff and then Bruce added Bentaleb. All are fairly immobile bar Hayden. Hayden is also the only one who pressures the ball too. Even he though gets a nosebleed getting too far up out of position. They all like to sit and allow people onto them. Nothing against these lads, they have their place in a squad. But if we truly want to get on the front foot a bit more, then we will need engines and mobility like Hendrick. We need to pressure the ball. I'm not saying he is a great talent, but he's good enough for us. I think he'll do ok.
Just seen Southampton are favourite to sign Welbeck for £5.5M. He's got to be better than any of our current options
Always ****ing knackered. We've already got Carroll and Gayle like that, don't need to add another to the list. I see Lazza has gone out on loan to another club, why couldn't we get him on loan for another season??
What is going on? He has been signing on for us every day for past fortnight. We cannot even get free's over the line.
