He wins some headers. He attempts to win headers. I worry who will do that when it's Stephens and THB.
-
I am fully aware of what's the real world. But if the highest bid is way below the clubs (not my) valuation, why should they sell?
-
Never thought you were.
-
If the add ons are £25m in hard cash and a 20% sell on fee, then we might be interested.
-
Chelsea spent more than that on Lavia after 26 starts for us.
-
Armstrong is starting ahead of Archer and Sugawara gets in our squad ahead if Bree.
-
Shudder. Jus took a look at his wiki page and he's cored 19 goals in 61 league games for Copenhagen since he departed. Remove his period at Saints and he's scored 99 goals in 300 league games.
-
Really? Seems strange for us to be bidding for a player that has no intention of leaving.
-
Not sure anyone can blame him for waiting until the 11th hour to sign for a championship club. We're not exactly the most desirable destination. Second flight football and quite a lot of foreign signings that have not worked out terribly well. I don't think it's clear either who is stalling, him or his club. One thing is clear though, he does want a move to a European side. He has been very open about that.
-
Rudoni is presumably the plan B.
-
We've bought Downs to do this job. He may not work out, but we aren't getting anther striker in this window.
-
May I suggest you pop along to the Burnley forum. They can probably give you some tips about freeing hostages.
-
Not surprising. Some are disappointed he hasn't signed a new contract, some think he is pushing for the move and even though many understand this is just football business, it's hard to think lik that when you have travelled to support the side. I absolutely love watching him in a Saints shirt. He's a rare talent.
-
IMO he worked his socks off, unselfishly for the side. He was a pain in the arse for them and won possession back a couple of times. He gave his all and I don't have any complaints about his performance today.
-
didn't Gakpo score a hat full of goals while we were on the verge of agreeing a fee?
-
Fellows might be the ones, but Downs and Quarshie didn't have that experience We have Baz, MaCarthy, Manning, Stephens, Wood, Edwards, THB, Fraser, Downes, Charles, Armstrong and Archer...as first team players with plenty of Championship experience. I think we can afford to add one or two flair players without it.
-
To be honest, I think he has looked much more comfortable on the ball than he did in the Hoffenheim game I watched. In that game he looked very ungainly. His accuracy and quality of passing though has been pretty poor.
-
Don't think he played there for Sheff United (first time around). Less sure about Blackburn. They have a habit of playing centre forwards out wide. I think Gallagher also was played out there too for periods. Weird. How the hell to do you hit teams on the break with slow wide players?
-
He made a few mistakes under pressure, but they all do. He's not a rolls royce of a player, but I think the other centre backs are pretty shit in the air - which should be a fundamental element of a Cbs game - so sacrificing a little bit of football ability is worthwhile. Whether he can improve (that's not a given) to be effective this year and beyond we will see. If we are going to ask him to play out from the back, even when pressed, then it may be tough.
-
Exactly what happened with the goal. Quarshie went short to Wellington, who had no space anyway, and then obviously between them made the error. It was like watching a Russel Martin side. It's admirable playing it out from the back, and teams that play the ball down the line all the time don't get promoted (IMO), but if you are being pressed as Ipswich always do, then maybe that's the game to not overplay and surprise teams with more channel ball stuff.
-
We need to be careful not to expect too much of cbs in terms of passing out from the back...and to recognise when we are being pressed and have a suitable out ball.
-
Perhaps they wanted a player with the physical traits (height and pace) and ok talent with ball to compliment our ball playing cbs?
-
Do you think Ramsey will be a £100m player one day?
-
What's his real world value? Who gives a fuck if Everton is a good destination. All that matters is how much money a buying club offers.
-
Looked sharp when he came on. Still wouldn't have put him on the pitch if he hadn't trained well. Is be very happy to see him start the next game. I am pretty sure Everton will come back with another offer before the window closes.
