OK, so you want some moderation. Why shouldn't someone quote what's been posted, is there some reason or is it in the T&Cs? I asked a simple question, are you saying the Mods should jump in and shut that down? Should I be banned? Come on, spit it out and say what it is that I should be sanctioned for and what the Mods should do? You've claimed, a few times now, that you have me on ignore, so instead of starting another argument why not just do that ... ... or do you believe it's one law for you and one for everyone else?
If you bother to read the next post you will see the answer also when you look at it however much we have spent you take 50 million off. There is plenty money there
We're putting together a really good squad and it'll keep getting better imo ... ... more newcomers impressing tonight.
It’s just the worst game of the season. We give this competition a swerve every season and far too many concrete claims are made when a disjointed second string look like strangers. Even worse this season with RLB making things even more difficult with the first half. But I’m gonna comfort myself with the fact that this time last year similar things were said about an XI that should never play for safc again. And that one contained Rigg and Mundle.
Obviously we need a cb but I’d put a winger ahead of that tbh. And now probably leaning towards two wingers. I get the point about a striker people make but I don’t think there’s a striker out there that’s going to change us for the better, whereas I think there will be wingers out there that can. Lucumi, 20m+ Winger, loan winger and id be delighted with that.
I ask as I don’t think we will be bringing that many in (I may be wrong, I certainly wasn’t expecting the window we’ve had to date) and I fear there’s a lot of people building themselves up for disappointment now (in my opinion as a bit of a knee jerk). That then often manifests into a backlash and it would be a shame to see that happen after the club’s efforts so far this window. I do agree though that having done what they have already, the club have exposed themselves to more risk if they don’t now fully get it right. I just think that getting it right would/could be a really top left footed forward/winger and Lucumi (dependent on departures). Not the 5 or 7 further additions many are now touting.
Aye. Delighted with Mukiele and Masuaku. Both look really up a notch. Same concerns as others though, creativity. We need to unlock chances for strikers, but also for Diarra to make runs onto. I don’t know if it’s wingers (we urgently need a left footed one) or a CM we need. Positive is it feels like tweaks rather than surgery at this stage.
Anyone expecting a dozen new players, with different languages and styles, to just click has never played football ... ... some very good players, like Rigg, look totally bemused with it all but I believe it will all come together. We have excellent coaches, it'll work.
Hmm i would say its not all knee jerk the like of jones neil roberts patta etc i think we have known they wont make the step up imo we need 5 and i think we get 3 - if certain players leave they will need replaced for example patta and neil Come Jan we need to be in a good position as the Jan window is very hard Make no mistake about it, its a huge week coming up pressure is on to get it right - ins and outs
I can already see Enzo is gonna be the next target of the fans, you watch mate. I can see and read and hear the undertones already, lads been pissed about out of position or not trusted and I can see it creeping in. I’ve watched it with Kenwyne, Richardson and Sessegnon. Players not used correctly and ‘fans’ on them. Like you say, we shouldn’t be judging any of the first 18 for a few weeks till they bed, and the new coaches get some fluidity going. Clubs had to do 18 months work in 8 weeks as promotion was never ‘expected’. You can’t expect to go grab a bunch of paint and brushes and knock out the Mona Lisa the next day.
Still worried about lack of goals, but hopefully that's me not seeing what the coaches who know better can see.
A more attack minded/able fullback could make a significant difference in that regard and as someone mentioned Masuaka showed signs of what he could bring to that position as an alternative to Reinildo when we’re needing to force the game more (be it against a Burnley or because we’re losing a match). Cirkin probably adds more in that regard than Reinildo or Hume, potentially Mukele does too from RB?
Promotion wasnt expected? what a horrific comment - we spent 12 months in the top 6 - was nailed on come xmas we were at least in a play off place - you don’t think the club planned? such a poor poor comment hudds made 10 changes too? couldnt care we lost we have bigger priorities but some of the stuff you have said above is a load of nonsense and just wrong
