17 threads today about allam, his press conference and the name change/ctwd

So it's back to the league this weekend, the first games since the transfer window closed, out of our rivals, who has bought best/worst? It seems a long time since we signed, ben arfa, ramirez,hernandez and diame and the villa game

hopefully they are fitting in well, monday is a bloody big game

 

Didn't Ben Arfa & Ramirez both score in a reserve match the other night?

 

aye against west brom well a behind closed doors friendly

 

Most people seem to think Brucie did very well with his deals. Me too.

Will you take that flag down if your fellow Scots vote for independence?

 

Is it really worth upsetting the fans and changing the name for £1m per year? I wonder how much will be lost in ticket/merchandise sales from those who are sick of it.

 

yes i shall remove it, there's many in scotland flying british flags in a stance against it

clydebank is actually moving their HQ to england i believe, as the yes vote would be disastrous

 

Nice to see someone start a football related thread after all the bollocks thats been posted today..

Cant wait till Monday night for the Wet Spam game. I really think the new players we signed will help win us the game.

 

The main question is;

Where are they all going to play?

Who's going to get dropped?

 

dont think all 4 can go into the starting line up
.
diame should start, with either ramirez/ben arfa starting/bench and hernandez will probably start

pace pace pace, i honestly think we can put west ham to the sword

 

Mcgregor
Dawson Davis McShane
Elmohamady Huddlestone Rameirez Robertson
Ben Arfa
Hernandez Jelovic

1.3.4.1.2

I actually feel sorry for Steve Bruce Its one hell of a nice headache to have

 

Why should diame start? He was played out of position because of Nolan & Taylor so who do we drop for him? Jake?

 

exactly, jake

 

swap mcshane for chester and livermore for diame, and that's a good starting line up for west ham

 

I forgot about Diame suppose he could come on 2nd half

 

So we put him in against a team who didn't rate him in his proper position? Jake starts for me! I know he's maybe not been on his game but you can't have 3 or 4 debuts in one game can we? We can get away with forwards but not in the engine room!

 

i didnt say 4 and diame is brilliant, jake needs dropping even if its just for one game, he's been atrocious thus far this season

 

Is there a consensus of opinion that the new mid field personnel are going to bring the best out of T Huddlestone allowing/giving him more options , therefore he isnt going to trapped on the ball so often?

 

My advice would be don't have press conferences just before a match unless it's Steve Bruce talking about football . Is it any wonder we aren't talking about football ?

 

Diame has a great touch and is a very imposing player! And maybe Bruce might just put him in a 3-5-2 but I still think jake and Thudd will start! If you look at the team we could have 4 players plus Dawson making home debuts and Robertson only just his 3rd ( I think? ) we'll see.

 

Can't see Ramirez starting nor Ben Arfa , Diame more likely and Hernandez partnering jelavic
Need a solid start IMHO
Mcgregor
Dawson Chester Davies
Elmo livemore Huddlestone Diame Robertson
Hernandez jelavic

To be able to bring on players of the quality of HBA or Ramirez who could be game changers shows how far we have come....then there's Brady aluko Ince ...Christ !
It's scarcely believable for those of us who had to endure some of the piss poor teams of the past 35 years ....l
