Convict Colony

using football manager hahahaha

[video=youtube_share;k5DWNpFrSAE]

yeah was listening to the same stream, give me the 10th best delivery in the league with 10 goals a season instead though.

is it 10 more points to equal our best ever points haul in the premier league ? do that before April potentially :-)

I know he mistook Vic for Mane

Vic is always a beast but his new haircut helps, plus it gives me an excuse to dig this out again

Loving Sadio and Elia at the moment they are taking the **** with their skill and speed we just need a finish. Fell for Pelle as he is stuck doing hold up play and doesn't have the pace to catch up. We should win based on the first 45mins but as every minute passes in the 2nd half the more frustrated we will become and rangers will grow in confidence, we need an early goal 2nd half to settle us down.

Well at least Koeman knows about Fer's strengths and weaknesses

Yeah it was pretty bad especially when he said if any club needed a manager they'd give him a call for sure once he was "fit" again.

I don't have a problem with the perceived striker shortage as I think Pelle is doing an excellent job in his first season, where I think we have struggled until recently is the goals from the wide men in the 3 and the attacking midfielder role. I think Koeman's complaint to Tadic about shooting more reveals more about how he expects his forwards to contribute in this regard (rather than just assist as you can't be 1 dimensional in this team) and if you look at the current goal tallies: Davis - 21 games and 0 goals Tadic - 20 games 3 goals Mane - 11 games and 4 goals JWP - 10 games and 0 goals Elia - 3 games and 2 goals Total Goals - 9 goals in 65 games (statistically) or once every 7 and a bit games. I don't think that is enough for the quality of players we have, Elia has started hot and Mane is in form based on the last month or so, Davis and JWP need to score something even if its off their arse and Tadic for the quality and positions he gets into should have more than 3 goals. I would say that I really think Elia and Mane can help pump this number up but Davis (certain to score today) and JWP/Tadic need to contribute, I think an average of 5 across those 5 should be the initial target. Just for comparison our DM's: Morgan - 16 games and 3 goals Vic - 14 games and 3 goals Jack - 5 games and 2 goals Total goals - 8 goals in 35 games (statistically) or one in every 4 and a bit games. Defenders: Ryan - 22 games and 2 goals Clyne - 21 games and 2 goals Maya - 9 games and 1 goal Toby - 16 games and 1 goal Jose - 22 games and 0 goals Florian - 5 games and 0 goals Total goals - 6 goals in 95 games (statistically) or one in 15 and a bit games

I wouldn't as every awesome chance seems to be falling to JWP at the moment who's in a somewhat of a goal drought

Sleep is wasted opportunity

Really interesting read that one, I never knew he received a cut of all transfers a policy which I suspect has followed him around everywhere except Spurs as Levy does actually have some money management skills. I'd quite happily allow HR that policy if it swings the other way as well in that he pays 5% on any loss on transfers, bet he wouldn't sign up for that. Also I'd heard he takes a % of a players wage for playing him or for just buying him, I think that would explain that Portsmouth player (name escapes me) who he has signed like about 4 times and never played.

Even more interesting our best players in this list aren't our goal scorers (tadic apart), does this mean we need to upgrade our front 4 (including AM)

Would of thought that the name on the contract would be the same as this.

Loving our Sky sports reporter, I've been had the tv on all afternoon and according to him since about 1pm today we have been very very close to confirming it every time they go to him the poor sod. He did have an "exclusive" that Southampton WOULDN'T be buying Tonny V today which must of been some next level soothsaying ****.

under current of comments were that he doesn't really track back he just full on attack so maybe the impact sub for Davis or Pelle for the remainder of the season, he seems tall enough to play the full CF role.

Reading through the Heerenveen forum from his successful time there they seem to suggest he is comparable to Eriksen and they were talking him up as a replacement for Mario Goetze at Dortmund and whilst not a Real Madrid esq calibre of player he would do an excellent job in the 2nd rank of european clubs. Am wondering if we are doing a chelsea and instead of buying everyone young we are just buying everyone with a left foot They are loving Koeman on the last page of this thread now its been announced on Mainz "Hence the shires cock of Van Gaal last summer!" not too sure google translate got that right http://sc.heerenveen.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4174&start=1890

Always the gambler

The best thing about signing all these ex dutch league players is the music on their youtubes. Based purely on what I have seen in the aforementioned video's he is pretty rapid (would guess 2nd fastest behind elia among our forwards, seems to have really good acceleration than top speed) and knows there the goal is, he will shoot if in a good position instead of doing a Dusan. Think Elia has proved that if the coach doesn't utilise you to your strengths then you can go missing in foreign leagues, am hopeful Ron knows how to utilise him.

We apparently won't agree to his early termination at inter so bad luck for them. Also peach is report that djuric is loan only no option to buy

Hey it wasn't that bad a game I enjoyed it more than the beginning of the Ajax game that followed but I think that was mainly because I was enjoying watching Van Beek and Clasie. Do you think that maybe they are talking about Mokotjo to try and put pressure on Feyenoord to lower their price ? surely if Tonny isn't getting into the team some money is better to strengthen elsewhere (LIKE CENTRE FORWARD), what happened to the Pelle money ? Kazim-Richards is on there on loan so where did the Pelle money go ?

Ron in the changing room now I imagine

Yoshida and Reed in mane bench
