Winter transfer window

[Pure River Slut]

in other words young and very cheap

Don’t mind young and cheap and development players as long as a couple in key positions are young cheap quality and ready

As much as our model frustates me i dont hold Clarke in the same regard as all our other youngsters, hes already been bought for 10m and is proven in this league so selling him wouldnt feel like we've bought on the cheap and selling on to make a profit like we will inevitably do with Ekwah, Hume and Cirkin etc.

If we can get close to 20 for him and invest it i actually think itll make us a better team and not be so predictable and reliant on Clarke

I don’t believe for one second that we paid 10 million quid for Clarke like. Wasn’t it closer to 2m with loads of add ons?

 

[Yorkie]

And out come the pessimists, waiting for the model to fail

Not sure how anyone can object to us buying players on the up rather than in decline. Maybe some would actually prefer the Moyes model. Takes all sorts.

He's talking about when Spurs bought him.

I don't think he was saying we paid 10m for him. Spurs did.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Ridiculous thing to say. Year on year progression, playoff contention in both years in the championship which is such a hard thing to do. How the **** can you or anyone say no ambition with a straight face? Such a lazy thing to say.

20 league games still to play, we’re just in a play-off position currently. We could be nowhere near come May.

Aye. Fair play.

So I am correct then, we were in the playoffs last season and we are currently in the playoffs this season. Predicting the future from a negative standpoint is a baffling thing to do considering the clear trajectory we are on and if you or others can't see it I can't really be arsed anymore.

We certainly were, well done Mr Mowbray. Let’s see where Beale takes us…

I am struggling to think of many better 1v1 full backs defensively mate. I think Clarke would enjoy playing against more full backs than not. He has this natural ability to keep the ball on his foot and then shift it after his body movement. It is a body movement not a trick. Trippier is a savvy as they come, a lot arent. Just my opinion but I can see why West Ham fancy him, and they are now a very good prem side.

Yeah i get what you're saying mate. I just think Clarke is yet to be tested properly. I think he may get found out especially against switched on full backs. For context I'd rather lose Clarke than Neil. I maybe in the minority there mind you.

If 'the model' boils down to that then it's common sense for running a business. The more time goes by the better quality young players we'll be looking at and that's how we grow.

We could be nowhere near come May could mean we’re 10 points clear at the top

Yep let’s see. That means we can hold off any moaning about him until the end of this one.

Neil much more difficult to replace - I agree mate.

I agree too. Neil will be really rough to replace. Quality player.

 

[Saf]

You can still see people almost willing Beale to fail so they can whinge at the club some more.

You must log in or register to see media

ouch

We improved after Neil left and we have improved in the short time since Mowbray was sacked, yet because it's 'Uncle Tony' and he 'gets the club' the decision makers are getting stick for sacking him. Glad to see the back of him.

He knew what his remit was, he was head coach, we have seen a slight taste in his recruitment in Mr Dack, I doubt he will be signing him for Birmingham, the snakes buys at Stoke worked out well

 

[marcusblackcat]

No doom from me! Got nout against the lad just hasn’t worked for whatever reason, yet

Haha soo mate it was a joke! I just don’t rate burstow so wanted him going back to Chelsea!!

 

[Wayne the Punk]

Its amazing how football coaches have selective memories. Neil and Mowbray didnt understand the job they were meant to be doing. Bruce losing his job wasnt because of his shocking results, it was because of where he was born. I think Moyse has totally erased us from his memory, I wish I could do the same with him
