No he didn't - Echo misconstruing what he said with a dodgy headline.

Sorry, don't know why I expected any better from them!

well what about what's his name then? or the other fella?

.....I always think the first 10 games sets out the stall for the season, if we are in the bottom 6 at that point it usually means a struggle.

Absolutely agree. We got only 1 August victory in Brown Shoes' 3 seasons in charge and I'm absolutely sick of being 7 points adrift after 4 games.

If we get a grip here, especially with our favourable schedule, we can really hit the ground running.

With the ease of our first 10 fixtures mate, if we arent in the top 6 never mind being in the bottom 6 the season will be a struggle

.....the signing of quality players sooner rather than later is important.

Witsel, Koulibaly, Mata, Bergovic, Guyue, Williams...when will it end...just so tired...

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

New 68m offer from Chelsea for Rom? I'd really consider that BUT it's too close to the start of the season and frankly we'd be in a rut losing him without a quality replacement which would be hard to come by

I'm giving it to a week today and If we haven't signed anybody I'm getting drunk lol

Let me point to the big flaw in your post.

The word:

ASSUMPTION

What's with the aggression mate.? No need for it.

So you don't see the need for either a defensive general or a leader on the pitch?. I couldn't disagree more, and it's nowt to do with panic or kneejerk. All the top teams have both, and in many cases it's the same player doing both roles.

Mate.

Spending £50,000 to buy a mini when I could spend £100,000 and get an Aston Martin is the level of expensive it is.

Ok... What 20m centre back would you sign? Baring in mind the season is two weeks away and we are having trouble attracting players? Williams is a quality old style of defender and that's exactly what we need imo

 

[toffeejack]

.....my concern is that the season starts in 2 weeks and we could be involved in a real struggle with what we have now. Players coming in as the window closes will need to bed in and we'll be playing catch up all season.

Our short term future is a lot more important than the first 3 or so games. If we were told we had to wait until deadline day to get all out number one targets. I'd much prefer that than getting poorer backup versions in just so they can start the first two games or so.

Williams for 2-3 seasons as a rock at the back alongside John Stones (who we just should not sell) for £10m is a great signing. We had NO leaders last season at all. I cringed when we spent £5m on Distin who was a similar age years back, when we had no money and he turned out a great buy.

Get this deal done. He would fit straight in and could even improve Funes Mori if he played alongside him. Jags will be a bit part-player this year I think. Make Williams vice-captain. This is a no brainer. I cant see it happening though.

Get this Gueye in and ship out McCarthy (if that is what Koeman wants) and get Witsel sorted!

I think we should stand firm on Lukaku and Stones because we simply arent going to make a statement on big signings, even if we get Witsel it will be because 5 other clubs have turned him down.

I'd make Williams captain.
