I make that c£20m worth of player signed since L1 promotion but not good enough to get into our current L1 standard team.
Yep, remember all those posts too, also that man for man, our Championship side was better than the 2003 side and others claim it was our best ever side. Now of course it's, what can we expect half of our side were L1 players only 18 months ago.
Will you go nuts in your dark and dingy bedsit Barry? Will the neighbours complain at the noise? Will you punch the air with delight and almost spill the 2 litre bottle of ASDA own brand cola over your keyboard?
Wasn't it also one of, if not the most expensively asssembled squads in L1 history? 4 players who cost £1m each for starters. Last season was excellent and hats of to Nige for that. I love it though how people are making out the like of Ramirez, Clyne and Yoshida are playing alongside half a team who should be playing for Stevenage. They might have been playing in L1 but they aren't L1 players.
Again, I'll ask you the question regarding our supposed half league one team.
Do you believe Schniderlin, Lambert, Lallana, Fonte and Puncheon are premier league level players?
The Happy Mondays were pretty awful a few weeks back to be fair, but it was what we expected, every one had a laugh, good venue, good crowd. That was part of the charm I guess.
But what would an Adkins Job Under threat thread be without someone mentioning Alex Ferguson and Manchester United? It's not like for every one of him there are dozens of Steve Keans. Ironic that everyone is writing off Christian gross as a manager because he had a crap nine months at a spurs. maybe if they'd stuck with him like Man U did Then he'd have had the same effect there? But of course that doesn't suit the arguement.
Spot on. He's improving every game and is starting to look a good player. Of course, he's guaranteed to improve what with him being young and hungry and all that.
So do you or don't you think Fonte, Lambert, Lallana, Schinderlin, Puncheon are premier league standard players or not?
And who said anything about it being top half?
