No way. Most of our signings this season can’t get in the team, or have been let go already. This season it was EASY to improve on what we already had.. and they made us worse.
I was a huge fan of Jay. That injury really ****ed him. He was never the same player after that. I hope he has a great time in North Wales and scores goals that take them up.
I can’t get my head round that he’s been a proper bench warmer of late. There all the time but not even 1 min on the pitch!? What’s the point?
Only just realised the transfer is still open. Assumed it shut last night. Open until the 3rd apparently to align with Europe just in case anyone was in the same clueless boat as me. Edit: I’ve now just noticed it says it in the thread title too
I thought it was yesterday too, wondered why it was so quiet throughout the day and then it dawned on me last night
But the J-Rod, Rickie, Adam line up backed up by Morgan etc, they worked well together. Best wishes to Jay.
Still can't believe people are saying Martin ****ed us over. Only in football could you hire someone to do a hugely important job which secures the future of the business, which they do at first time of asking against extremely tough competitors, and then 8 months later are saying he ****ed the business We were a complete mess when he took over, to say we got promoted in spite of Martin is insane.
I’ve just looked up our signings since our last season in the premier league. We signed 24 players (excluding loans only). 12 of those players no longer play for us (I’m including Shea Charles because as things stand he may leave). That leaves 12 players. Adam Armstrong, Sulemana, Onuachu, Bazunu, ABK, Aribo, Bree, Ross Stewart, Manning, Lumley, THB and Downes. 2 of those players we kept (ABK and Stewart) haven’t even kicked a ball for us really. Bazunu has been injured for a whole season and a half (and was crap). Manning, Bree and Lumley are fringe players who would never get in the team if it wasn’t in the situation it’s in. Paul and Sule were shunned until recently. That leaves, of 24 ****ing signings since summer 2021. 4 players who have played consistently and “well” since their purchase. Downes, THB, Adam Armstrong and Aribo. How people can excuse our recruitment is beyond me. We’re **** from top to bottom. We were a mess before he took over and arguably a bigger mess after he left, he gave us one good day and a few decent Championship performances but I always felt we looked vulnerable even when we went unbeaten for 25 games. Which was then vindicated when we got battered twice by Leicester who was supposed to be our level. I think the criticism of him is perfectly valid. There is no way you can argue he left the club in a better state than he found it. But it’s a combo of him and SR. But the players were clearly indoctrinated to only know and play one way of football and it’s taken Juric two months to try and drill that out of them. Not to mention the extremely alarming comments that’s been made about the teams fitness levels when Juric took over and how nonchalant the club seemed to be around how poor performances were. Any manager that can’t fathom a plan B is a **** manager.
I agree with you. But I also agree with the opinion that he ****ed us over; the fact he was so unwilling to compromise to his philosophy has really ****ed us, his transfers (along with SR) have ****ed us, aand getting rid of the likes of Charly in favour of **** have ****ed us. Forever grateful for what he did last season, and will forever love and thank him for that, but this season he really did **** us up (in conjuction with the clowns who own and run the club) I think both opinions can be valid, to be honest.
Manchester United sign teenage defender Ayden Heaven from Arsenal - BBC Sport Funny, I'd have thought he would have needed to stay close to Jesus.
He came 4th in a 3 horse race. Then assembled the worst premier league team in history, whilst at the same time trying to gaslight the entire club & fanbase that he was reinventing football. Nice guy. But poor manager who has done irreparable damage to the club. We are a worse mess now than when he joined! We are going down on way less points. It’s like a few people seem to forget we are a ****ing premier league club. Have some standards ffs
Would like to see us make a loan move for JWP before end of this window. Only played 18 minutes in the last 12 games for Forest and not even on the bench. Then get him back for next season. We do have a loan slot still available
