Left Back

[witchdoc187]

The decision to sell lukaku has not set the club back a decade or more like you said mate, to say it has is hyperbole at best and histrionic nonsense really.

Yes I wonder what calculation he used to get a "decade". Surely if he is replaced in the summer it's set us back a season? What's really set us back is all the useless players we spent ridiculous amounts of money on and the rubbish coaching staff and manager

He's a wing back.

He could do ANY position on the left and do it 100% better than the muck we have.

He is a winger who has filled in at left back.

He probably could do but he probably would not have wanted to come here knowing that Baines will be back soon enough and lets face it if eh didn't score a hat trick in his first game he would be getting booed and called a pub player. I don't know why anyone would want to come here currently.

Never trust a man with a neck tattoo either.

It's hyperbole, world class, greatest ever, set us back a decade, blah blah blah, in reality it's a stumble no more unless it's repeated for a long period of the same mistakes.

Yeah this. Its amazing how much a team can change in a season one way or another.

Nobody expected us to go so bad so quickly and to an extent it can go the other way too.

City went from being laughed at a bit in the media and Guardiola getting comments about him losing it, to the best team in the world in about 6 months mate. Chelsea went from champions to shambles, to champions again to on the verge of another shambles/sideshow, in 4 seasons.

All it takes is 2 good appointments, one leading to the first to make a huge difference, a proper DoF and a manager who fits in with the DoF and can lay the foundation down for the way the club will be going long term.

We went from 15th to 7th to 17th to 4th to 11th to 6th in Moyes first 6 seasons, went from 5th and looking on the verge of something special, to 11th and looking close to a total collapse under Martinez in two seasons, from 7th and a mile ahead of the rest to whatever this season is.

Thats only looking at the 'modern' era, same swings happens under Royle, Kendall, Catterick and pretty much most managers in the clubs history.

to be fair Dave so could I.

I could too, and I'm a middle aged man weighed down by clothes sopping wet with piss.

 

[davek]

He's Brazilian Dave, likes to play it on the deck.

His head would have exploded when he heard the words "hoof it" and "lets mirror Swansea"

When Samosaurus leaves, and his time here is written up, that 'we studied Swansea' line will be up there with the worst of the recollections.

Well, he went to Newcastle, so he cant be that fussy.

He could have done the same job here as Antonio Valencia has done at United.

At this current point who feels your wrath more -koeman or allardyce?

Fair point but it looks like he is getting guaranteed game time up there. He would have got a few games for us until Baines comes back because I reckon that although many of our fans (me included) think Baines is almost finished those in the game don't think he is at all.

I have no anger against Allardyce. He;s just a big bluffer who was given the chance by Moshiri to come into a club smouldering and throw a can of petrol over it. My anger is all at the owner.

I doubt Baines is injured tbh.

Interesting...why do you think that?

I think he's sitting this manager out and preserving whatever life he has left in his career.

Well that would make him a massive snide...
