Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

LUCUMI AND AMAD!!!! Fit that description

 

not if you remove 8 that he scored in

 

Why would you pick 8 games in the middle of the season and not just remove 39-46 and count the first 38 games like a season, or even more relevant since he missed games you do it to matchday 38 cause you aren’t guaranteed to play every game and the that’s the number of prem matchdays oh look at that still 12 goals

 

He played the equivalent of 34 games minutes wise so slightly better than one in three.
For comparison Mayenda played the equivalent of 25, scoring 8 so also one in three but did also have 5 assists. Wilson had 2.

 

It's also not just about the strikers, we've purposely signed rapid attacking players to play on the counter.
We will be under the cosh for a lot of the games but I think we have goals in us, all the way across our front line

 

Teams aren’t going to defend deep or shutting up shop against us at all this season the challenges for us this season from my view are going to be

can we be solid/resilient enough at the back to prevent teams that are going to taking the game to us from scoring

given the fact they won’t be defending deep/shutting up shop can we be good enough on the counter to create chances

and then are we good enough to take those chances.

watching last night an established side like Bournemouth played pretty well and still conceded 4…..we need to be patient and understanding with the team.

I think we can surprise a few but we will also take the odd beating, we need to stay level and take each game as it comes.

Really hoping we can get off to a flyer today HTFL

 

ha I was joking

 

teams may shut up shop against us after going 1 or 2 nil up mind. We won’t always be able to rely on countering.

 

aye absolutely fair points to me it feels like a different type of defensive approach and it won’t be shut up shop championship style.

This probably only makes sense to me but I see it as more containment, keeping us at arms length rather than retreating with absolutely everyone behind the ball and you are right that’s when we need creativity.

it’s tough at the top, all we can do as fans is get behind them

 

Figure of speech mate. You're overthinking it.

 

I hope the crowd bring on the noise, the Cov game showed how it can change a game.

 

It'll be a cauldron, at least to begin with.

 

Wilson didn’t play 46 games, nowhere near. Neither did the Big Man.

 

But you know what we have in that scenario? Rocket left boot Granit.

 

If we break our transfer record to bring back Amad then that would be unbelievable but can't see it

 

Couldn’t see Xhaka, Diarra or (soon) Mukiele either mate.

Nothing is impossible.

 

Xhaka is unreal but Amad would be akin to Aliens beaming down at half time in the stadium of light at half time and saying “We’ve been up there all this time Marra’s and we hate Sam Fender too”

 

It's not going to happen. Anyway, dare I say it; in my opinion we need a bigger physical presence than Amad in a new forward.

 

Great post that.

 

I was surprised to see that Wilson made 43 league appearances, plus 3 play off appearances. Equivalent of 34 games in minutes. Felt like he’d missed more.
Mayenda made 37 appearances plus play offs. equivalent of 25 games or so minutes wise.
