I think if Moyes wasn’t interested in him he wouldn’t have given him as much of a run out as he has. We’d have maybe had the types of comments we had about Patterson needing to step up etc. I think Alcaraz probably surprised Moyes and I’d be...
Can’t ever pull the ‘we’ve spent no money’ line. World record fee for a keeper at the time, world record fee for a defender, world record fee for a midfielder in Wirtz, 90 mill on Nunez and Jota Diaz Salah Gakpo all over 40 mill each...
I’d imagine that after going from not playing at City to playing every week for Ipswich he may not want to go back to a possibility of sitting on the bench which he knows he’d have at Newcastle and perhaps Chelsea. Our paucity in that area might...
I’ve thought about this as well and I think it’s a mix of factors: the fan base, the financial position of the club (and therefore the managers it hires), and to a lesser extent our standing as a rival to one of these teams (in decreasing order...
The mid table managers who have a good record against the top sides are the same managers who are losing badly at home to other mid table teams regularly. If they beat all the sides below them and regularly beat the top sides then they’d be...
I really think we need a recallibration of standards around here. James Rodrigues- he caused some uncomfortable moments for defenders. Kanchelskis scared the crap out of defences when he ran at them. Alcaraz may prove to be a decent player, but...
Even the notion that he'll be fine as a backup makes no sense. He's not good enough, simple as.
The only way you build a squad to compete is if the backups are pushing the starters for their place. This can only happen if the backups are good...
I agree with you, and I said similar earlier, but we're running out of options. Doucoure was one where I thought we might be able to do a deal and him just move down the pecking order but it hasn't happened, Young and the keepers have gone, the...
Every player in the squad needs to be capable of playing premier league football. Keane isn’t to the level we need to improve.
other bottom half teams have decent options sitting on their bench. There’s absolutely no reason we can’t get a...
We’re just repeating the same arguments with Keane I’ve heard a 100 times before. ‘He’ll be fine as a backup’. When will people learn that he won’t be a backup, the first teamers will get injured and he’ll be in the first team…costing us...
