You want better players and good football and good facilities attracts them. Our facilities are defunct. Bruce didn’t do well lately (Leicester aside) Fulham did awful. They ****ed up. But we survived. The Brighton game. wtf? The Arsenal game. wtf? The Sheff Utd game. wtf? There are arguments for and against everything on this: fact is. We are a bottom feeder club. So no I don’t accept Ashley and Bruce doing a good job. They are not. They are doing the bare minimum of jobs to keep us just in the PL.
Lucky bastards, if it hadn't been for covid and injuries to " wa top players " it would have been us.
What about Carroll? I don't see what Joelinton offers us over Carroll personally. Ther'es not a single area Joelinton is better than Carroll, besides maybe pace and being less injury prone. Carroll's ball control is good, he's better in the air, he passes better and is a better finisher. For a free transfer, how many goals did he play part of when he has a streak of games? I can remember him assisting quite a few. The only reason we may not play him is because we like to counter attack with pace. Now that we're safe why now play this? - --------------ASM-----Carroll------------------ ------Almiron--Longstaff--Willock------------- Ritchie---------------------------------Murphy -------Dummett--Clark-Fernandez--- --------------------Dubravka----------------- At least with Carroll you know we'll win long balls, and we have someone that can pick out a player.
Apparently he’s on a bare minimum contract with a pay as play deal. I would play him but I think it’s a only used him If you have too option.
TBH, I think Gayle and Joelinton have proven themselves so ineffective that we should be playing him, and from what I understood he was on PAYP last season, but was given a 1 year contract. Why the hell Joelinton still gets a game is beyond me, at least gayle goes on a spree every so often when played right.
You lot are going to come under the pump tonight because I've won manager of the month. Enjoy dusting yourselves down after the pundits and the commentators have another field day giving it to you all. Unfortunately you never learn.
