Rumours of zenga as the new manager. Its a real fight to stand still at southampton. they are getting picked clean every time. somehow on the other hand spurs who've only been 5/6 points up the table from them have kept the side together slargely since modric and bale left. Lloris, kane.... I think its cos spurs are largely functional players but have a rep of being very hard to deal with. have southampton just been too... easy to deal with? they coughed up lambert and then lallana and then lovern but held sneiderlin for a whole year beofre coughing him up. chambers went, clyne went for resonbale money... like yeah they prob got too much of LFC one summer but aorund that they've been just selling. wanyama now. who's next? pelle?
Surprised your a fan as he's very limited on the ball, he does a good job and breaks up play well but ideally if we are looking at the likes of Alonso, Masch as a benchmark I'd want better than Wanyama. A good signing but nothing special.
or just organised or just lucky? I dunno they hired koeman and he specifically targeted pelle as he'd played with him before. bring a big man in to the physical prem approach. tadic same. not sure who really targetted mane? Koeman signings: 2014/15 Tadic Pelle Forester Long mane bertrand (loan then permenant) Gardos alderweirld (loaded then back stabbed) that was a 7/8 hit record then this year not so hot.. Juanmi soares Martina claise (not so classy at all) romeu Lewis Van dijke austin From that really one real hit, maybe two.. several misses so.... next guy in loses 3/4 players again... well.... having a 7/8 hit rate isn't going to be easy every manager change In fairness though... ranieir had an interesting summer last year Fuchs, huth (made permenant) kante, okazachi, gray.. all key men.. inler and a couple others not so much. who knows maybe zenga if true can bring in a few more.
By Gray if you mean Demarai Gray (sp) wasn't he a jan signing and is just occasional sub though i think he is an interesting prospect and i would happily seen us take a chance on him for the quoted £3m fee
yes he was but he was a useful go to sub for them to keep putting on and resting legs so I think he deffo helps a bit for Leicesters cause.
it'll be a huge move and there could be 2/3 shed for sure from madrid to balance books. hence the big agent push on kovacic to drum up a bid.
i was more talking good signings by managers. I thought he aided their cause as frankly they'd not too much to turn too outside ulloa thats all. .
Ched Evans has signed for Chesterfield. Hope he's allowed to just play football, guys done his time even though still doubts if he was guilty.
well since he is still facing trial for rape i'm surprised any club is taking him on until that is concluded
Whole thing seemed a bit dodgy anyway but plenty of other people have done convictions and then played football. Should he not be allowed to do a job after doing time like any normal person?
thats what i meant to a certain level he will probably be ok. 30k fans every weak calling you a rapist, wouldnt be long before it effected his mental state and game. look at the ****e players like gerrard,rooney,giggs,barton etc down the years have endured from rival fans.
He is allowed however clubs like all employers are allowed not to employ someone with a conviction which they feel damages the company. I haven't worked for a company that would employ a convicted rapist which is why i'm surprised they didn't wait for the outcome of the trial. mind you why i'm surprised at expediency overuling morals where a football club is concerned is beyond me
