    Goats squad analysis thread 2024/5

    7 players on a single transfer window is quite some financial effort. We won't keep Harrison neither Lindstrom? I honestly think we had a decent crop of players and I believe Moyes was able to show that up. But, in truth we don't have players of the same reputation of a few years ago. And we...

    2024/25 Beto

    The lad had a decent run, under Moyes. We've had worse...a lot worse.

    Manchester United

    To be honest he would be the perfect manager for us. I still have mixed feelings about him. On one hand, I love him to bits because the restored Sporting's dignity as a big club. But he left in the middle of our last dance. It was obvious that he wouldn't stay beyond this season. But Sporting...

    Manchester United

    I know I wrote that he's a rat, because he jumped off ship before anyone else and left work to be done. But he is a hell of a manager. His communication skills are both obvious and simple. He won't tell you any bullshit to please you or to find an excuse. If it's raining, it's raining. If he...

    Manchester United

    A rat in a club full of rats! I just hope Everton don't pull their pants down, regarding Branthwaite. We have to be solid and try to keep him. If they want him, they have to pay our price, not theirs.

    Great lad. Offered me an Everton jersey with the number 85!

    Give him time...he will come good, especially because his pace may allow him to play on a wing to support Calvert-Lewin.

    Scotland’s Greatest Night

    That's debatable. Lobanovsky favoured players from his Dínamo Kiev, who played according to his system. Of course they were a wonderful team with a lot of Ukrainian players. But Spartak had also very good players who wouldn't fit Lobanovsky's system. Cherenkov is regarded as a genius and he...

    With time and if the manager opts for 2 upfront, he can link up quite well with Chermiti. But...in time...enough time for Chermiti to blossom.

    2023/24 Youssef Chermiti

    Chermiti is stll a young prospect. He has great physical qualities but he needs to evolve in a number of aspects.

    2023/24 Beto

    He has some level of potential. He has rare physical qualities combined, such as his size and his pace. Yet, he has margin to improve on his aerial ability and his first touch in short space. I believe he is the resilient kind of guy, because 4 years ago he was playing in he lower divisions...

    2022/23 Sean Dyche

    It was the same when Moyes was in charge. After he left, we all know what happened, when the board tried to find a manager with a "more cultured" way of playing. It takes a very good manager and very good players to play attractive football without falling into the wrong side of the table. At...

    The Republic Of Ireland Football Team In The Jack Charlton Years

    Since a kid I've had a soft for football in the UK, and most of the Irish stars were playing over there. The Irish National team came to prominence in 88. Of course, looking at the players in that squad, Eire was, by no means, a lesser team. But I also think they've achieved what there was to...

    Why on earth did we sell James Rodriguez?

    Maybe he's worn out and there is no juice to squeeze from that orange anymore.

    2021/22 Rafael Benitez

    Are we allowed to keep calling him the fat Spanish waiter? Nevertheless, he had a good spell with Shiite. This club is a real mystery. You get Ancelotti, who's a very good manager, and we still ended up with empty hands and no clue about progression. We have some quality players but also a...

    2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

    Here's the thing... the red [Poor language removed] spent a lot but we also spent a lot. Had Carlo been with us for a longer period of time and I think the load of money we've spent would've been put to better use. Top manager, no matter how things will go in the future. He was also a top player for AC Milan...

    Transfer Rumour Everton Soares

    Honestly, being a Sporting fan, I can’t imagine how on earth both my clubs are so much of a [Poor language removed] up when it comes to signing players. I’d love to see bolasie go back home but then we would be coming back to Everton.

    Gedson Fernandes

    Rumour has it that his clause for a permanent deal is mandatory. 50M€, they say. Would pay that sort of money for a guy who is not a first team starter in his club who just bought Weigl for 20M€? Don’t you smell the fish from there?

    Gedson Fernandes

    Check how many minutes the kid plays every game and then assess the fact that Benfica will be looking for, at least, 15M€ (and I believe this heavly undervalued). News, here, are stating that Chelski is up to loan the kid with an option for a permanent deal of 65M€. Do you even know the kid?
