But please di5co, vote. We should not worry about our piers. I am determined to get a honest debate going from both sides.
When the transfer window shuts, that will be the time to judge. Hope that comment isn't to harsh and doesn't upset you
As an unbiased (tsk) outsider, you haven't improved that much at all. You won't go down BUT you have to demand more.
I'll not vote because none of the options really match my opinions, but I would say 2 quality signings and we should survive (though I doubt it will be all plain sailing even with some signings)
Lens - Looks to be the kind of improvement we were looking for. Fer & Lambaert - Could have been but for the medicals. Coates - Much improved the end of last season. If he keeps that up he should be ok. Kaboul - Still needs to settle M`Vila - Anyones guess. Could be brilliant, could be a liability. Expect him to be a wind up target and no doubt the refs will be watching very carefully. All the other names bandied about are nothing more than gossip. Mixed feelings up to now but I`ll reserve judgment until the window closes.
I haven't seen enough of the players and we haven't finished our business yet. I can vote but it would be uneducated and not worthwhile.
I'm with 83 - will vote when the window is shut. Reasonably happy at the minute but need to see a good performance today and another 2 or 3 faces in the next 2 weeks.
Again the query is season started, pre season done, players up and running that are here. Not about what might be in next fortnight, will they be fit to start. A snapshot opinion of where we are now ?? You at this moment are happy, content or unhappy
Mbemba, Wijnaldum and Mitrovic vs Kaboul, Lens, Matthews, M'Vila and Coates. If you say so. All our signings improve our first 11. Can't say the same about yours. Remember, Wij is God. He trumps all
Wij is class mate, I can't deny that. Just hope he ****s off after a season Mitrovic, better than Cisse? Not even close in my eyes. I think this guy is gunna flop Mbemba, 20 years old, not even close in my eyes , undecided on him, still an unknown quantity. He looked decent against Southampton although a little raw.
Mitrovic is a nutter but he has the attributes to be a success here. Look at Costa, similar style and attitude (I'm not saying similar level, I'm not THAT daft). To go off a 15 minute cameo when we were sitting back is a bit daft in my opinion. With regards to Mbemba, I think he is nearer my age however he can't be worse than Taylor or Williamson and he had a very good debut considering he has hardly been with the team. The unproven thing goes both ways. Apart from an injury prone Kaboul and a player you already had last season, all the rest are unknowns and can flop just as badly, if not worse!
Come 5pm we could be mid table and 2 points above the Mags after playing 2 games each. We could be firmly bottom of course but I kinda don't want to think about that . Can't judge anything yet, the early signs are worrying but can't write us off yet surely.
I think Man City could finally find some form this year, they just have to put the smaller clubs to bed more efficiently. going down??? Wow flip a handful of coins. Could be 3 of around 8 I recon and yes currently we are 1 of the 8 if that's what you are fishing for.
