Bought into the media hype then, all that about the world cup in Russia, hooligans, racist, a general all over bad place to go. Even the FA chief Greg Clarke admits "it turned out a bit better than expected" <laugh>

It's no paradise but if no one goes to change things then things will never change.

I've not bought into any hype. It has been well documented for years the abuse black players get in the domestic league.

Just like it was here, and we all did it at that time. It took some black players with big balls to stand up to it that started the change in the UK. If they hadn't, it would have continued for years more.

So I fell for hype. Now you admit they have a big problem with it.
Great.

-> "I really want a striker as Campbell and Dicko are very poor in my eyes if we want top half. But if the aim is to finish 21st they will do."

Good job we've got Keane as well then :emoticon-0138-think
Just got to hope that all 3 come back from a full pre-season as 'different' rejuvenated players

My response isn't exactly well reasoned but we've seen it before. Players like Turner for instance needed that first season then developed.

I'm always open to changing my mind, but I do fear that Dicko and Keane won't work out here.

However, I do hold up hopes for the likes of Stewart, Kingsley, Toral and Henrik having massive seasons.

There's a lot of ifs and buts, but I do feel there's potential in the squad. Question is, can it be tapped in the current situation and psyche?

I quite like Dicko, I think we looked a better team with him up top, I couldn’t understand why Campbell was preferred.
 
We need a big unit up front for Dicko to work off. There was a suggestion of Donaldson a few weeks ago, appears he’s signed for Bolton. He’d have been a useful addition.

That’s actually good news did nothing last year and we can’t afford to carry a passenger in games .. his wages will cover two new players and a fee of maybe 2 million will buy 3 new players

Savings to fund signings.. we should send that to Ehab. Savings to boost pocket is his motto.

I don't think there were bigger critics of the Keane signing than me and glp but...

The kid was at Man U till what 22?? Obviously huge potential. Had a Nightmare with injuries. He's now got the chance for a full preseason. He's been fit since Xmas, I think, we could potentially have a cracking player on our hands.
Fingers crossed he stays injury free.

Signing for Bolton, who apparently aren't paying their players and he will still be on more than Enob would pay him. <laugh>

Chazz. My neighbour is a Manchester lad and knows the Keane brothers well having watched them play since they were young. Although Michael has done very well it was always thought that Will would be a big star. Unfortunately injuries have knocked him back but if he gets a good preseason and is injury free he could be a real gem this year. His problem is that injuries usually knock off half a yard of pace and he will have to work really hard to get back to his best.

For exactly those reasons, I stuck up for him when we signed him, but from what we’ve seen so far, he’s looked like a player who’d be lucky to get on from the bench at North Cave.
 
We could signing young West Ham centre back Reece Burke - he played 26 games for Bolton on loan last year. Rumours on net confirm that West Ham are looking to let him leave.

I just think he’s got glass knees, injuries have taken their toll.
