This is a no brainer lower wages than the other two and even if he just does okay we will either get our money back or make a profit. Get sarr from Watford and one more forward either broja or one from the french league and we are looking a lot better. Icing on the cake would be another two...

Great post almost all of our managers lose there way and can’t find a way Out of it. Frank did he may not end up being what we want him to be but he has shown a willingness to change which is very welcome

Every team outside of the top 6 are one injury crisis away from a relegation battle us, villa, wolves, even Leicester. We are the only team outside of the big 6 to never have been relegated from the premier league. I don’t mind villa and they have rolled the dice and I think they have a better...

I’m not his biggest fan but thought he was the best player on the pitch in a champions league final. I’d take him if we can get rid of Davies to offset I think winks is the better player but both lack physicality to be top draw

a lot of people complaining about this ive always thought he was a dirty player who was hard and leaves it on the forward whenever he gets a chance. Not watched him close enough to say if it’s a good deal or not but aggression channeled correctly is missing from the team and he seems to have that.

I wouldn’t take him back no way but he got 32 goals and assists in 2 seasons. There’s a clamour for Gordon to be player of the year & I like him but I wouldn’t bet on him getting that many in his career currently. Doucoure can’t control or pass and can only play the way he is facing and Ali...

Fair point always baffled me his first game during the warm up Moyes spent ages with just him throwing him the ball to head it was very strange. Yobo Stubbs Ferrari Lescott Jagielka All not to shabby though

I think trying to steal Moyes Center back targets is a great idea. I have no idea if Tarowski can play a higher line but to discount him on a free because keane played for them is foolish and Moyes has such a great eye for a centre half. Remember we were so close to Manolas for £500k could...

Agreed I don’t see a way to keep a clean sheet without him and we create virtually nothing

He hopefully fit for 8 games. Him and branthwaithe holgate right back godfrey left back Need players who want the ball in midfield Alan delph and van de beek Gordon richarlison iwobi Gray just doesn’t Work hard enough. If I played with docuoure and Calvert lewin I’d get filled in as I...

He is hiding doesn’t want the ball

He is a disgrace he just let tarowski out with little or no effort. Kenny isn’t good enough that’s not his fault. He ain’t trying hard enough im afraid and needs to be called out by his teammates

Problem is he used to occupy both centre half’s and be a real handful. You would watch him and think he could be a bit more aggressive but I really wouldn’t want to play against him. He was a real nuisance. Now either he is still recovering from being injured, is leaving and isn’t bothered...

I don’t think I can recall a player who nearly gets on the end of a cross so many times. I wish I had the time to watch each cross again to confirm if his movement is not good enough or the cross wasn’t good enough. I think it may well be a bit of both but I can’t help thinking the phrase the...

Agree with this and that may actually compliment Patterson who I guess will be very attacking and dynamic. Still beggars belief we spend years buying players for the here and now and then sign two players who appear to be the complete opposite when we needed the here and now.
