It gives an indication of where the market is at, though. Or at the very least it shows how some transfers can be extremely bad value for money. Lyon paid 23 million for him and then had us agree to a 30 million option, and yet he's no better...
I disagree. I think he's at the same level as Garner, who improved our CM upon his return last season imo. In fact, he may well be better than your Garner's or your Longstaff's. Garner wouldn't be scoring 18 goals in the Championship, that's for...
It’s about squad building this summer with so many additions required. Not every signing can be a world class fancy addition.
Happy to add the likes of Brownhill & Walker on frees so longs it’s balanced with a couple of high potential...
Our central midfield is about to be deprived of Doucoure and Mangala. Gueye has yet to sign, but probably will do, and Garner only has one year left on his contract and spent half of last season out with injury. So we badly need several central...
Tuchel picked chalobah and Dan burn, ahead of him, Carsley picked Harwood bellis before him. Managers have favourites and when it comes to England we all know it’s 90% what club shirt you wear . We all remember the Liverpool left back warnock...
On the contrary, I think Brownhill will be an excellent signing. It's about building a strong squad, not cherry picking overpriced, over the hill galacticos. Think about Peter Reid, Trevor Steven, Kevin Sheedy, Paul Bracewell, Tim Cahill, Seamus...
Not a particularly exciting signing but if Armstrong isn’t ready to be a regular then we need 2 new central midfielders to go along with Gueye and Garner.
You do know our player of the year was Idrissa Gueye
Top scorer in the league was Mo Salah
Chris Wood scored 20 goals last season
Dan Burn won the league cup and got in the England team
We are seeing the effects of sports science now on...
Pleasantly surprised we haven’t seen Coufal walk through the door yet. Shows us Moyes and co aren’t panicking and are looking for players of at least reasonable quality in every position.
Wowzer.
Other than Pickford, I think McNeil may be the player I am least concerned with us finding a replacement for. His set pieces alone are a massive boost when he's in the team, and he scores the odd blammo out of nowhere, and all.
On...
Absolutely, recent injuries are my only red flag which is why I'd be looking at 15m max with add ons for apps/assists/goals etc.
First 2 goals left footed - 2nd was a beauty...
Feel like getting to the byline and sticking a hard low cross in is one of the best ways to score in footy and yet it often gets overlooked and overcomplicated. More than happy to have a winger who does what Doak does, but must say I’m worried...
