RE Poyet, my only issue with the runout is somebody threw it up on Facebook literally a few minutes after he made a post thanking their fans for the support. In the same post he said Kermogant too, but seemed to have no support for either rumour. Ketts post comes several hours afterwards. I'd love it to be true, but am dubious due to the nature of his exit.
I don't really want all these old players coming back, it begs the question why get rid of them in the first place. Kermorgant I would, but not Poyet or Johnson. I think Poyet coming back he will also get a lot of abuse from the fans, I for one am not very happy with the way he left.
I wouldn't hold Poyet himself directly responsible; the management (including CP!) more than played their part in his departure but not having him under contract, as they may well do again with Lookman.
Poyet, Kermorgant & Johnson are an improvement on what we have. Therefore, I'll be more than happy if they do come in during this window.
i wouldnt want poyet back. no loyalty, be a bit like parker coming back - no thanks. potentially good players, but both more happy to pick up a wedge and sit on the bench
If we get the Poyet of old, then great. He has'nt done much at MKD or the Hamsters, and what attitude he brings remains to be seen. There does seem a frightening 'live in the past' air about the Valley. Riga or Powell as manager. Yann, Poyet and Johnson in the team. If only we'd put Lambert in charge, but maybe he was too new.
Roger Johnson has been given an 18 month contract. So the old warhorse wasn't good enough at the beginning of the season, but now they've had a look at Sarr he is good for this season and next. Might have helped if they'd had a look nat Sarr before lashing out £1.8m on him. I suppose he'll be shipped off somewhere on the network now at Charlton's expense.
We will surely take a massive hit on Sarr - the Sporting fan came on here in the summer to laugh at the fact that they not only got rid of him, but they also managed to make nearly £2million. I anticipate a loan to Truiden, and then an ''undisclosed''. Either way, I'm just relieved/happy we won't hopefully have to see him play again.
No wonder our CEO is so coy about transfer fees. She could hardly boast about giving Morro away free and paying nearly £2m for young Naby. That's what happens in a club run by people with zero football knowledge, although it didn't stop her bragging about how Roland had spent £9m on players as though that was some sort of achievement. By the way the man who recommended Sarr and the man who is now admitting he's no good are one and the same!
I couldn't see it originally - but delighted with it. He will add bite to the midfield, whilst having the ability to play the simple pass. Take note, Ba.
I guess Cousins and JJ will swap the other CM position. JBG - Poyet - Cousins/JJ - Harriott Looks like we will be playing a wide game. That makes me happy - providing we can get the ball in the box.
Poyet is a good signing IMO. He was outstanding in the second half of the 14-15 season (POTY), if he can reproduce that form he is light years ahead of tat like Ba. Maybe there is also a faint recognition amongst the 3 Arseholes that signing yet more cheap foreign tat will lead to even more fans unrest?
Johnson on an 18mth deal you got to be joking....eighteen Months ....he wasn't good enough last time. Ok for 4 or 5 games then back to the Johnson so loved at Wolves before heading to India . Underwhelmed. Poyet was class for us been pony everywhere else.True we didn't tie him down to a contract earlier BUT this nonsense doing the rounds about him only leaving because we were gonna ship him off to SL on loan. Don't believe it. He left as he thought he was bully big boy and so far he's failed at West Ham nowhere near the first team. He's been loaned out to MK and Huddersfield been woeful at both . Maybe his ego has taken a hit failing at the hammers so far. If he plays as he did when here before we have a top player at this level. BUT I don't buy all this great to be back at my home BS he's here as got no where else. It's all very cynical to try and appease us fans I'm not taken in at all . I don't see Sarr is any worse than dodgey Roger to be honest but let's see. As long as Fraeye Roland and Katriene are around nothing appeases me
Good last sentence there Mike We could sign Messi, Ronaldo and Bale but these twats will never win me over
I was against this mob as soon as they walked in the door . Just because the previous lot were dodgey don't mean we have to accept anything. His master plan to get his network sucked from day 1 . Wanted him out then want him out now pity it took a while for a lot of our fans to think like us
