Yep. He engineered a penalty off Rosický, who looked as if his favourite pet had died. Dusan cheekily despatched it down the middle.
It was written as a humorous piece with admirable self-knowledge, so just made me smile. As for Virgil...be funny if we make him stay, but don't play him because we don't need him. I can dream, can't I?
OK, that was an opportune jest, but we spent last season peppering opposition defences with crosses, shots, whatever. Yet, we often couldn't score. Several of us kept asking, through that summer transfer window, where the lead striker was coming from. We were anticipating fewer goals otherwise. We'd had Lambert, we'd had Pelle. These were guys who lead the line. They took the brunt of the attention from opposition CBs. Suddenly, last September, we didn't have one, Because Charlie isn't that type and there was nobody else. So are we changing style or will we get a proper replacement.? That is, we sign the guy to put the smile back on Dusan's face.?
I just throught i would include the 15/16 squad for comparison to show how much we've improved in depth. First team is probably worse now but when you consider that players like Romeu, Prowse, Yoshi, Reed etc have significantly improved since then its quite a difference in depth. i ignored Austin and Rodriguez as they were never really available to us. Forster Cedric Fonte VVD Bertrand Romeu Wanyama Mane Davis Tadic Pelle team 2 Stek Cuco Gardos Yoshi Targett Reed Clasie JWP Juanmi Gallagher? Long
To be fair, I'd debate that our first team is now better than that. Depending on how Lemina fits in of course.
All that depth gives us lots of options too, a very similar lineup can be set-up very differently & they're they're all still comfortably 1st. team players ----------------Forster--------------- ---Stephens--- VvD---Hoedt Cedric ---------------- Bertrand --------Romeu Lemina -------------Redmond ----------Gabbi---- Austin
Reports in Rome saying Hoedt bid about to be accepted and he has agreed a €1.8m-a-year contract with #SaintsFC.
So £1.6m roughly or just over £30,000 a week. Seems reasonably considering what is thrown around for wages these days.
That is how transfers are supposed to work that people still don't understand You get permission from the selling club and then negotiate and fee and contract simulataneously (with one perhaps concluding before the others)
Yep, exactly this ... don't need to agree a fee BEFORE you can talk to the player, as long as you have permission from the club!
I have read stuff saying that lazio fans are saying he is their 3rd choice so it is a good deal Looking at the stats online it suggests this is not true and that their first choice partnership last season was him and de vrij Happy to be corrected
