Sorry all excuses to me, all reason we cant never what we can do.
Not all players are on that money, what's Lallana being paid and Welbeck? Wont be peanuts.
Jurgen - 6 in 34 appearances in all competitions (3 in prem)
Connolly - 6 in 47 appearances in all competitions (5 in prem)
How depressing even more so when you look at who's in front of them (glass made Welbeck excluded)
Maupay - 20 in 73 appearances
It really is amazing that this is what...
We haven't scored many from midfield in the last two seasons so I would suggest that trend would continue (I hope it doesn't obviously).
Connolly is not good enough IMHO
Maupay 8
Welbeck 6
Connolly 2
Trossard 5
Trossard likely to do the same maybe even a bit better, Welbeck could do but could also be injured most of time and Maupay will get the same again.
We need another striker of Maupay's level to give us a chance to move up the table or even...
If they cant find and sign a striker better than Aaron Connolly then they have massively failed whether they know they have failed or not. They have had a long time to get this sorted and identify targets who are within our means.
We can only hope all the squad clearing is to allow for a new...
I know where we sit in food chain and I would be happy with someone who will get 5-10 goals a season to go with Maupay and Welbeck.
Many of us don't expect a super star just someone competitive enough to be around the first team and better than Aaron Connolly.
Those employed at the club to identify and sign players are aware of all the issues, if they are unable to sign a player with more experience or better than Aaron Connolly then they have failed massively. Injury to Maupay or massive loss of form will almost certainly put us around the bottom...
To not sign a viable first team challenger up front would be nuts!
Welbeck will be in out out with injuries/not match for spells of the season and if Maupay gets injured we are knackered!
Also both players need someone who will challenge them to get the best out of the group.
Connolly has...
If we are unable to sign a forward with more ability than Connolly to provide competition and a viable option when Maupay/Wellbeck are injured or out of form then we are doing something massively wrong.
