Today I'd like to bring in to question whether people are being sincere or if they feel like they have to give the impression they're overly excited about every signing.
I mean the only ones I got that feeling about was Bruno and tripper.
The others are signings if we'd made under Mike ashley I wouldn't have been bog snorkeling the owner.
...
Nufc fans would be moaning wouldn't they? I mean it reached the point where Ashley couldn't do anything and get any positivity.. Wilson max Joelinton they're still 3 of our best players by miles and mike Ashley bought them.
Thoughts?
Okay........excited by the signings in Jan......No, I think relieved would be a better word as far as the defence went as it was a complete shambles regardless of who played and who was dropped including the Keepers. I was excited at the thought of Trippier coming in because I felt right back should have been looked at for several windows prior. Burn and Targett I was relieved but not excited.
Midfield.....Looked forward to seeing Bruno playing because of the hype that got built up around him, felt like I was the only one who couldn't really comment as didn't know enough about him and I don't think the standard of the French league is that great......Still don't hence my concerns at spending £30m on Ekitike and at least that again on Botman.
Wood signing would have left me underwhelmed at half the price. I know people say he did well holding the ball up but there's times where I honestly think I view matches differently to some others.......I agree with Roland and think he's **** and for the size of him he heads a ball like it's a wet sponge.....It just seems to collapse into him rather than bullet off him.
We differ on this but Joelinton turning into a mint midfielder was pure fluke, no way he would have got deployed there if it hadn't been for Clark being an idiot in my view but his progress and growth has been one of if not thee highlight of the season for me.
Wilson is mint when fit, I'd love a carbon copy of him who's genetic bone structure wasn't the same as a Dorito and would have that player ahead of any Nunez, Osimhen, Isac, Schick or whoever else we get linked with.
ASM is the complete opposite for me this year to Joelinton, started really well and by the end was sick of the sight of him falling over, running the ball out of touch, misplacing simple passes, trying to take on 4 too many players and shooting when better options were open to him.
Yet to be excited by any of the linked players if I'm honest. Paqueta or Erikson if it came off but feel that position is bottom of the priority list. I'm meh when it comes to Henderson, we've been linked in press with Costa from Porto for a ridiculous fee but never seen him to make an opinion so meh, same with Strakosha from Lazio that we were linked with n all. Out of defenders I'd like us to get Badiashile more than any of the others but the kid is no where near the finished product and will need time to develop.
Wingers - I'd be excited with a Diaby/Dembele player but meh on Sarr, who I'll put it out there for you to screenshot now - I think is a poundland version of ASM.
Strikers - Dybala would be good to see, Osimhen would be good to see. but other than that nothing mouth watering.
Think we're still very much in the gambling territory hoping we strike lucky with a few.
