Golac's Cunning Stunts

We brought him in to win games and ultimately establish ourselves in the PL again? Apologies if i have missed some context..haven't read back through all the history

woo aren't you clever! When you say " our most consistent international centre back" i take it you mean consistently shit?

Is that really all you've got? Helmet emoji thingy. There are plenty of teams in the PL eg Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, Forest who don't have deeper pockets and none of which would consider Bednarek as a good choice for a CB in the PL

Meanwhile, Villa are in the champions league and we have a championship level defender

No idea what you mean. Would you care to explain?

He isn't good enough for the prem, so not sure why its such good news

I agree we have a weak squad compared to most PL teams. We have invested though and do have some good players now. Given we are up against it, why then play such suicidal tactics and gift teams goals every game? At least let’s try and be hard to beat. Oh and playing a striker might help at the other end too 😀

This post should be made a sticky and left for everyone to read until Martin is gone

What an absolute car crash of a post

Do you actually go to games or just go on FM stats? The difference between Sadio and Sulemana in their first 20 odd games is chalk and cheese

He didn’t play for any ground breaking teams. He was a Joe average player. So can only think that’s why he feels he has to have this genius philosophy as a manager?

But is the cat being skinned scoring a record low number of goals 😉

Problem with this argument as far as I can see is that the examples given have world class technical players. Not sure our lot are good enough to be honest

No he isn't. It is so blatantly obvious we need a striker. I just can't see where the goals are going to come from this year

and then the £20 odd million in annual wages!

There's always another wad to blow in my experience

We need a quality striker..will we get one?

Me too. COuldn't agree more Turkish

oh dear, just like lallana. MLG has definitely returned

There is absolutely no precedent for us spending that kind of money on one player even if we had a good keeper / striker

It is unfair to make us play against 10 men. Gives the other team an advantage. Just ask Nate

to be fair, without knowing anything about him, he is very likely an upgrade on current incumbents

I'm with you. However, as it appears we will be proceeding with full-fat Russball, that will involve a lot of dicking about with the ball at the back and therefore the GK will need to be good with his feet. If he isn't, we have already seen what happens in the very 1st match of the season with McCarthy's blooper.

But from what I hear, Ramsdale is dodgy with ball at his feet? Not sure if it's true as I haven't really watched him much

They are looking like a good contender to be the next Brighton. Some excellent players coming through there
