Yeah I saw something earlier that showed Chelsea could actually end up in profit because they could feasibly end up selling Jorginho, Zappacosta, Emerson and Bakayoko for around £80million and the Hazard and Morata money was big too
At the time we fans probably didn't take the Ndombele fitness concerns too seriously but the club really did **** up. Surely the medical tests and looking into his history showed big, **** off red flags and therefore told the club to steer clear(?!). Club should've listened to you and I mate, just done some digging as I remember talking about going for two for the price of one, we nailed it : Club needs to hire us I say...
**** gets real when Romano confirms talks. Just gotta wait for the “here we go, total agreement” to know it’s all done.
Mike McGrath is claiming Fulham want to sign Gazza. Hmm... not sure about this. Whilst Hart has joined and will add valuable experience and leadership, he has looked terrible when playing for Burnley/ West Ham whereas Gazza has been excellent in spells and ok in others, producing just one major **** up from my memory which was against Chelsea. Jose did also say that he was happy to have the strength in depth so I’d be surprised if we now sell Gazza. The only potential plus of the deal is that we’d definitely make a profit on the £2.5m we paid and it’d also free up a foreign player spot in the squad. Personally I wouldn’t sell, unless Gazza himself wants/ forces move if he thinks there’s a better chance of game time.
We have 3 GK with first team PL / UEFA / international experience, and a September fixture schedule from hell. Barring an utter injury plague, if Jose cannot manage GK rotation until at least Feb to ensure all get competitive game time, then he should quit.
I agree. I’m a massive fan of Gazzaniga and feel that this position (back up keeper) is actually a really difficult position to replace in a squad. Trying to find quality that doesn’t mind being sitting on the bench is a hard balance. Yes, we’ve signed Hart, but he’s not getting any younger. Granted, we’ve got potential youngsters coming through, but I don’t think it’s the right time to part ways with Gazza. He’s the first sub keeper we’ve had in years who I don’t **** myself watching. The odd mistake in him, but he’s a pretty solid performer and has definitely shown Lloris up at times.
That was the weird thing last summer: there weren't any transfer auctions like what usually happens, it was always the first club who bid who got the player What really stands out with Ndombele is the shoutiest section of our fanbase really should take their share of responsibility for the whole ****up, considering they have been bellowing about signing players (and still do, ****ing hell our Twitter fanbase doesn't seem to realise we've signed three players already this summer...) and also about how we need to spend big, and what was Ndombele? The big money transfer fee they wanted...and their immediate response was to howl that we were paying him £120k a week right off the bat even though they spent years howling about how we weren't chucking six figure wages at everyone As I've said before, in retrospect we could've signed Stanislav Lobotka and Florian Grillitsch and still had some leftover compared to what we spent on Ndombele and our midfield would've been more balanced, what with Grillitsch being a DM and Lobotka being closer to the Dembele mold than Sissoko ever was, but as I've also said a few times the thing with those two is while their ceiling is probably no higher than 8/10 in games their floor is no lower than 6/10, and that's the issue with the balance of our squad because while there are some players who can be relied upon to be at least 6/10 in every game (Lloris and Davies certainly spring to mind) so many of our players can have drastic swings so they're capable of a 9/10 performance for a few games and then drop to 2/10 for a few after that (i.e. Son, Lucas, Dele)
Wolves fans in denial...reading this thread is like watching a relationship decline in front of your very own eyes https://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/doc.316108/
he’s the biggest useless piece of ****ing turd I have ever come across just sell him...need players that are focused. I don’t even understand people saying this guy has immense potential...his potential has contributed the sub total of **** all for us...so what use is it...to me he is useless, absolute. can’t be bothered with the fat twat anymore
