I think he looks good defensively, he seems to carry a goal threat from corners and has good long range shooting much like Fabian Schar the player who he'd be replacing...
Now that Eddie's back in charge of transfers he can't complain about another failed transfer window because the DOF failed to buy any of his targets. He'll have to adapt quickly and make a incisive decision on some other targets that I'm sure Steve Nickson has drawn up for him when he finally realizes that the prem players he's wasted time trying to sign for years now are too awkward and expensive to get out of their clubs without breaking the bank and looking like mugs. We really need more players to fill out the squad otherwise we're gonna struggle to compete in the Prem/CL like last time.
The amount of players we’ve signed from the Championship is bordering on bizarre. Like I’ve said countless times our best players by some distance were all, bar none, recruited from the continent yet as of now we seem to be exclusively focused on the PL and Championship. All I ask is for someone to make some sense of it. Our last 7 failed player bids were all from the PL.
Well the latest links seem to be about Balerdi, Toposoba and Pubbil, who have maybe always been on the target list for all we know.
Pubill I can see, as it’s adding a sub and far from a priority which has been our MO for about 3 years. The other two look nothing like Howe signings, and I think are part of agents silly season to try and drive prices up.
I see Callum Wilson has been added back to the official squad page. What a ****ing joke. Joao Pedro says no, and the very best we can do after that is give Wilson an extension? On top of Lascelles, Gillespie and many other squad bloating crap?
If Callum Wilson has been givena new contract then questions need to be asked about the ambition of the owners.
Well this is the thing, we've apparently This may well sound like sour grapes, but i never really liked pedro, 1) that elbow he swang at a player (brentford?), could have ended a career 2) the way he ran half the pitch to get in gordon's face in that fa cup tie.
Was Ruddy originally taken off to, because he's there now and he's supposed to have left. Poor Matt Targett doesnt even get a squad pic.
J. David joining Juve on £100k a week. Still, he probably wouldn't have liked being third choice with Wilson's new deal.
Just read that Mitchell was in favour of removing out of contract players and wanted to focus on fresh faces. If this is true, why is Eddie so obsessed with loyalty to players who are past it? I love the man to pieces but I don’t get it. He needs to put personal feelings aside.
Yeah, it was time to let the likes of Wilson go. Probably overdue, but I doubt we'd have attracted any suitable buyers in previous transfer windows. Keeping him now will just stifle any youth development.
Is was upto Callum to show his worth moving forward, which he didn’t & if we can see it as fans how Eddie can’t is baffling. Football evolves.
**** me are we going to do anything this window?! It’s now something like 18 months we’ve been signing ****ing Trafford and two years since a decent player turned up. It’s getting ****ing ridiculous now.
