We're going to stay up!! But who is actually good enough to stay on? Pants Pickford Kabs Catts Watmore ( we really have no clue on him yet TBH) Larson Borini (barley scraps in) Defoe ( 1 more year) on the fence Johnson (could be banged up who fecking knows) Pva as cover at LM Jones (rb cover) Lens meh Rodders (last year of contract so will be amazingly good and leave on a free) So I reckon we need 10-15 players in!! Depending on how many we can pinch from the youth squad!! Even at bargain prices 5 mill a player thats 50M !!
There is no chance of a great escape this season, this team and Owner and Manager are inept, mind the mags might cop it as well. Top 6 next season expected.
Pickford Kaboul Coates Cattermole Larsson Watmore Defoe Borini I'd keep them and bring through a few of our youngsters, and players who have championship experience, preferably young too, like Sam Byram from Leeds.
Shocking aint it! Squad of 25 and we can pick less then 10 to stay on. Disagree on coates btw , absolutely shocking footballer.
Strewth! What a question. Kaboul Cattermole Larsson Defoe Borini Keep these. Not because they`re brilliant but because they`re the best of a bad bunch. Also - Watmore - Been excellent (particularly as a sub) but needs to learn pace isn`t everything. Pickford - Worth the step up now I think. O`Shea - Takes the place of Brown. Johnson - If he`s not a guest of Her Majesty. The rest can pack their bags and piss off. I expect Sam to be keeping an eye on Gooch, Beadling et al. Didn`t mention M`Vila as he is a class above and getting him would be a real plus. That`s the standard we should be aiming for. Twat of a thread this is like. I`m depressing mesel.
Pickford Kaboul Catts Larsson Watmore Borini Defoe Lens if he can buck his ideas up. Promote Gooch and Beadling.
O'shea sums us up completely TBH , Why is he still here? and I agree hes been our best CB for a few years now! and aye sorry! haha is a bit depressing
I would have picked Johnson as well, Pops. He would annihilate the Championship, he'd be a star player. I just think if his 70k - 80k wages are to be believed then he's a goner.
Wouldn't go that far like. I think Lens has talent, McLean is proper ****.. Give him McClean's fire and determination and Lens would be a force. Not happening like.
Not so sure. He`s been given a chance & it`s in his own interest to take it. I`m convincing no bugger here am I? Not even me.
Why do people have Larsson on their lists he's ****ing ****e man. A total myth of a footballer. Pantilimon Kaboul Cattermole Mvila (sign at all costs if we can) Johnson (case pendin) Borini Watmore Lens Defoe
Agree he has talent but Sam wants more graft from him. Whether he`s prepared to put a shift in or not is up to him. Shame if he isn`t, he could be really effective. Either he gets his finger out or he gets gone. I don`t think Sam could put it much plainer tbh.
sad but true Best Player(s) 2015 - Mvilla Loan 2014 - Larson , Cats 2013 - Borini, Ki , Alonso all loans 2012 - Rose Loan 2011 - Larson ? or Bendtner Loan? Not sure who was actually player of the year , maybe Bardsley and McClean got one in somewhere?
But Lens isn't? at the very least he grafts ... which alone really shouldn't be enough for a professional footballer.
Larsson works hard and shores up a midfield. This makes him a great squad player have to see games out. All squads need a player like this in the ranks, they come in very useful.
And he`s brilliant at passing on instructions. He`s not called Semaphore Larsson for nowt the nars. . Couldn`t resist.
