He didnt have a strong start or finish (like everyone) but He has contributed far more to the team than Ramirez so I consider it seven million well spent what he try's doesn't always come off but he's a willing runner and always looks like he's giving the required effort
He could be amazing next season or he could be just as bad as this season. if its the latter will people admit he's not the signing we thought he was? And if its the former I will gladly eat humble pie
no smoke without fire and all that! He can't exactly be over the moon that he hasn't been involved in a single game must be wondering why the hell he signed for us
the pretty stuff above lump it forward? lump it forward was more effective but i think we will be as good if not better than them next season if we can make the right quality of additions
West-ham don't have a vastly superior side on paper but they managed to be a top ten club (just) in their first season back.
What do you think separates us and them? was it our failure to sort out defensive and goalkeeping issues earlier? big sams experience?
or merely that tenth is not a true reflection of them or their football and a bit flattering. Are west ham a bigger club than us?....................
wonder what commision cortese is on? its probably quite a good deal with bonuses for league position and even one for securing survival! talented at spending someone else's money?
My guess is that this whole thing will end up ****ing the liebherrs off so much that they won't fall for corteses naive media games and will pull the plug on the whole investment if it isn't swiftly deal with! Worrying times for saints
its too early to say but this is a far from convincing end to the season we are nowhere near a top ten team at the moment. Lets all get behind poch next season and see where we are at Xmas. We were dire in the transfer window so hopefully a better one this season!
