at first i was cynical about this potential transfer as he has been touted as inconsistent and a bit of an enigma, the fact is if he can throw up something surprising and different than that is an attribute that none of our current stock possess.
we are playing currently like Poyet on his worst day, it is literally like we have the bad part of Poyet football. The squad has weaknesses but is not that poor as some of our competitors as Garcia showed us last season, does Hyypia lack a philosophy that isn't just copy what previous coaches...
the way people talk about Becchio makes me wonder if anyone has ever actually watched him play. He was very one dimensional, usually scoring a tap in or header, and scored so many goals because of Leed's one plan that involved attacking relentlessly at the complete sacrifice of any defensive...
i am conducting my own personal race, will i complete my masters dissertation before we sign another player? it isn't really a fair contest as my deadline is August 27th and theirs is September 1st, and they certainly have more of a night before jobbie attitude.
It would certainly be an interesting question although i am not sure he would possess the offensive qualities we favour in a left-back. i would rather see Chicksen in the line-up than Calderon however, we should endeavour to play players in their right position and he has been decent enough when...
Dunk isn't a starter for us, i sincerely hope we make him a fixture each week to try and overcome his stagnation that was a result of Poyet's ineptitude when it came to youth players.
Ward is 28 (about to turn 29) and if he is willing to pull a stunt like he did today then sod him. i had personally hoped we would go for someone younger, as Ward, Dunk, Hughes and Bruno will all have to be replaced if we were to get promoted, you cannot go up with this old defence.
even without additions, which i am sure we ill receive, our team is still stronger than half the teams in this league and we have some great young players coming through who will be geared up to play a significant part this season. With Greer as captain i do not believe we will witness a...
In terms of our high profile transfers they have left when it is advantageous. Ulloa for 8 million (2 more from add ons) is a great bit of money and many people on here had previously said 5 million would have been a good amount. Bridcutt went for 2.5/3 which is fair considering his form was...
It is good to hear a positive assessment of Dunk, like you said he was great in 2011/12 and whilst he made a couple of notable errors this was minimal considering his age, there was a reason big premiership clubs were circling. Whilst Poyet did wonders for us i did resent the fact that he...
Sadly i think you are right. personally i feel that if we are not capable of challenging for the play-offs as it currently seems, we should place an emphasis on developing our young players for a push next year as it will provide essential match fitness, personal development and help them gel as...
