2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Stephen Gibson]

The little bit of that presser i took away was that he wants to bring people in who are "Adapted to the Premier League". When you also look at who he has brought in so far in Gray, Townsend, Rondon & Begovic who all have that experience i don't think we will be signing anyone we don't already know about in January.

Rafael on whether James exit opens up opportunities to spend​

"Yeah, I think so. I had that conversation yesterday with Mr Moshiri. It's just to be sure we do things the right way, they are very keen to spend the money and improve the team."

so why didn’t we this window?

 

[matty1878]

We will if we start winning trophies again.

We've had no reason to be happy for 26 years and let's be honest, apart from that FA Cup win, the 7 years before it were pretty crap as well.

30 odd years with an FA Cup win to our name and a whole host of under achieving, failure and mismanagement.

IF

I think we need a forum bot to repeatedly post this precise message in every thread.

It literally fits anywhere. Apart from maybe the odd winning match thread.

yep

 

[PaddyJames]

so why didn’t we this window?

Because we only sold him 2 days ago. The window closed 24 days ago.

Positive news on there being some dough available in January

It’s his first January with us, he’ll soon learn that brands won’t do a thing hahaha

Good presser today, honest, informative and dignified

He's no Joe Kinnear

So no Gbamin Gomes DCL Richarlison or Coleman. I only remember Coleman being injured in an actual game as well. Complete joke. No fit strikers and two fit midfielders in the whole squad. If Allan or Doucoure get injured we’re absolutely screwed once pony hawk gets out on the pitch.

Looks like Benitez wont be playing them before the international break.

We can get away with tomorrow's game, but United looked a tall order even with all bodies back. At least we can be reasonable confident we'll have one of our attackers back by the West Ham game mid-October.

Yeah, they can't just expect to walk back into the team though. Be unfair on Rondon the way he's playing.

 

[Efcjake]

cos he's the best manager we've had in forty years?

Wow that's an embarrassing post

 

[Efcjake]

you'd rather have Carlo back?

Undoubtedly

 

[PaddyJames]

Undoubtedly

If he hadn't walked out on us I probably would as well. He can get stuffed now though.
