Well if they don’t then I’m not paying any more rental on my telly!

There's some really bad shouts in this thread.
Even the junkies are scraping the barrel.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Yup.

National captain, more than 80 caps.
Premier League proven, Champions League experience, European trophy winner.
very strong defensive midfielder with a lack for scoring match-winning goals.

I’m struggling to see negatives.


That’s what Alvarez and Ndiaye are for. Make chances for Soucek and he will score.

You are basically getting a Premier League and European quality defensive midfielder with a Tim Cahill knack for scoring goals.

I've a feeling you're over rating Soucek a tad...

The manager said yesterday they are working to bring more players in

Indeed. He also said 'before the start of the season' as well.

Some right dumbos in this thread.

Some?

The devil is in the details, but I think it’s an accurate profile of the player. He’s not fancy but very effective. A bit like a better version of Kevin Nolan.

Washing machines I thought but probably wrong

 

[Marius57]

Read his posting history..he is not worth responding to.

Aye, was a big fan of Benitez and said Dyche is the best manager we have had since Moyes.

Is it end of August right now?

No, but we travel to the USA pre-season tournament in 10 days. How many will we have added to the squad by then? Any at all?

I’m sure there was still a gulf between the old First Division and the lower leagues but it seemed like a more level playing field in the top flight in those days. At the very least make the CL for league winners only - of course we’re too far gone for that now.

The English game doesn't belong to England now mate - its just the clubs are based there - its global - the more global you are the better and its where everyone including ourselves wants to head. Thats one of my biggest fears leaving Goodsion, losing that parochial, community, symbiote raw connection and identity - for something more civilised and sanitised for a bigger world.

Back in the early years of the PL and later years of the first division there was always a hierarchy and finance were at play - but it wasn't impossible for someone to come along like Leeds, Forest or Derby and win the league in a couple of years of coming up - or building a team over a couple of years like Howard did on skill to succeed. Seems now like some things are out of reach for 97% of all clubs in England.

I don't know, no one does, so stop projecting it'll be no one till end of August.

The amount of anxiety in this thread is off the scale for some posters

Well Nolan was useful even if he was a bit of a knob. Depends on how Moyes wants us to play regarding Soucek so if it's plenty of crosses into the box I can see how Soucek would thrive but if he wants to play a more technical game I can't see him being much use

I think Souček offers what Fellaini did.

Helpful both ends of the pitch, but Soucek's 30 now and has a lot of miles in those legs already. 1-2 seasons tops.
