So why not get the new players in early as they knew greaves and Billy Jean were going? You have to admit it’s very strange And n certainly not helpful to a new managers I’d have liked a BFG in early at least to really give a statement for the club and for Walter as well
Would absolutely love KLP back and always had a feeling he would be when Brentford didn’t use him like they should have (while he was on form). It’ll be interesting to see how much we offer, given how much we sold him for. Unless it’s a loan of course.
Think they gave him a 6 year deal or something like that. Would gladly use him for one of our loan spots, though
You have to understand the statistics that you rely on No way did the statistics indicate he was the second worst keeper
Giving anybody until Christmas is a crazy idea players - not so many clubs looking to recruit manager - there was going to be a massive rebuild needed in the summer. if we got rid of Rosenior but was stuck with the players he recruited it would be a disaster. better to do everything in the summer.
I read both Southampton and Leeds want him permanently but Palace aren't keen on selling. Apparently we're front of the queue if he's heading out on loan
We’ve been through this. It’s the goals he conceded compared to how many he should have conceded. Look up xGOT (not xG)
Ot all depends on the reasons, maybe Walter wanted to see what the squad offered before committing to signings, maybe he blocked players we had lined up early, maybe the club couldn't take the risk on signings before JP and JG just incase it didn't happen/they got injured etc. maybe Walter has asked for players that we didn't have on our potential lists ( this will almost certainly have happened ) Moore was obviously close but he chose for his own reasons to change his mind after sheff utd came in late....
My point is Pete, Kesler is saying last season was successful, hence other clubs interest in our players. Therefore Rosenior should not have been sacked at all and if Acun had doubts about him he should have at least given him until christmas to be proved right or wrong. As it is we shall never know, it was a decision ranking as bad as Robinson sacking Brian Horton because we lost at home to Swindon Town one Tuesday night. Swindon, who went onto the PL and we blooded two maybe three players that night, a stupid, stupid decision at the time. But we are where we are and it's looking like the new manager has already been hung out to dry. You say 'better to do everything in the summer' what have we done? Sacked the manager, lost the scouting network, sold our best players, so far bought no-one, and lost out to relegated sheffield united for a 32 year old who we'd offered a 3 year contract too. We should have kept Rosenior and built on last seasons 7th place, not try and rebuild Rome. I'm not a bed wetter either, I'm into my 61st year of support for this club this season, 61 years of blind faith, if I were a bed wetter Id have thrown the towel in years ago, like thousands did over the years. Spin it as much as you like and I can appreciate fans wanting to do that but realistically this close season has been worse then the one Bruce walked and left us in the 5hite with the new season amost upon us. Anyway, UTT.
Crespo is good, Krunic was a regular for AC Milan last year. Playing and doing well against Real Madrid in the champions league
