  1. Clynes better as a high rated silver than a low gold, clyne, jwp and mane will be decent players in a silver team Long more physical than pellè ? Ok then
  2. Theres always snippets of truth that gets blown out of all proportion. I fully expect many clubs are eying up our players, the journos rightly or wrongly are continueing the theme of the summer. Hopefully the club is able to fight off all but the highest of bids and the players are now settled with the current set up As for utd, I expect they'll spend a bit but surely not too much due to FFP
  3. Thought we were told players unrest was nothing at all to do with board ambition ?!? Besides, it ended an excellent window within which ultimately keeping hold of our players will be the biggest bonus. Perhaps a GK if Boruc leaves. Being greedy Id take Benteke
  4. This, I said the same thing to my old man yesterday
  5. He isnt near the first team IMO, he really needs to go out on loan and get some games under his belt imo
  6. Will be a good test this, looking forward to it, ill be able to watch this one considering my ankle is in pieces since yesterday. Personally I wouldnt change much expect for dropping either Cork or Davis for Wanyama. The defence will need more protection from Swansea who like us wont give up the ball cheaply. Itll be close, probably a draw
  7. Id have Rickie back but ultimately he'd probably get less game time here with Pellè, long, rodriguez and mane all looking for a space up top. He also never looked great in the lone striker role that pellè now occupies. Dont get me wrong he looked great from a deeper position but I expect the reason Ramirez went was due to RK employing a 433 instead of a 4231. Im not sure we need many players in this window, perhaps a junior RB or a GK to replace Boruc but ultimately not much else. Such was the excellent end to the window.
  8. Looked calm, collected and classy. Played a lovely ball to long that culminated him getting punched in the face should of been a pen though. Hit one or two too many long balls for me. But Im not holding that against him as it was after all his debut. Really chuffed to have him, if he carries on we wont miss Lovren
  9. Well originally my thinning mane came as a surprise and was met with a good few months of worry and vanity fuelled anger. Thankfully I then just decided to take a pair of hair clippers to the lot before it got too bad. This happened to be a good choice, and Ive soon found out I have a good shaped head for a baldy, backed up with a bit of a beard now. So Id of said its better to be a baldy then a short arse TBH
  10. He played ok, he isnt a RB and it shows
  11. Ih behave how often have you banged on about how crap welbeck is ffs ?
  12. Or hoddle, rodgers is the best bet really, unless you go foreign. Though Rodgers is welsh I think ? Problem is, I reckon you'd struggle getting a big name that isnt just looking for a paycheck. Poor squad, high expectations
  13. This And no its not about picking players that are... 'Good for their clubs' as all you get is a disjointed and different team every few games. Which is why the team needs to be kept roughly the same, players need to gel and thats v hard at int level. Quite frankly the current crop is less than bang average, easily the worst overall squad I have known in my lifetime. Summed up entirely by Rooney, who easily 'should' be our best player, has the ability but woefully out of form. Unfortunately, as much as Id like him dropped there isnt really anyone who is good enough to nail him to the subs bench. Its drab, hodgson is as inspiring as a toilet brush. And carrys on the old tradition of not picking players that fit the system
  14. 433, much better use of the players available I think.
  15. Yes
  16. How many ? Sinclair, richards, rodwell, johnson, johnson they're just the ones I remember
  17. Ive not seen much at all of the lad really, think he'll feature at all this year ?
  18. The only choice there is really, ps4
  19. Just what I read, basically I did my usual 'Ill talk to the only manager that wants to help me' trick amd it worked. I know its just an invoice but apparantly latest advice is to use the templates to fight it
  20. Its actually enforceable now, latest advice isnt to ignore them as they are starting to take you to court, but minimal fighting usually works.
  21. The whole world these days is hinged on customer service these days, no more so then big business. I know that everything I do in my job now has to be centred around the customer and because of this I know other companies are very similar. Use that to your advantage. I recently had a row with mcdonalds hedge end over a parking ticket I got when in their premises. Despite the fact I was using the premesis (me and my boss had a meeting there, both of us are field engineers) when I politely asked if there was anything they could do I got their standard stock answer which was no. I usually deal with a situation like so; Can your manager deal with it ? No, can theres ? No, theres etc etc one of them will help you and many middle managers tend to crumble when you ask for their managers details. Needless to say there was something they could do Though realistically I think the cashier was essentially right in this case, though he didnt seem to deal with it very well, for whatever reason. Thank christ Im not in retail.
  22. I can conclusively confirm simo isnt an england under 18 footballer
  23. Lol
  24. Anyone else getting this ? I must admit Ive not been this excited about a game since Skyrim probably. Very ambitious game that I think my wife is going to just about hate come christmas
  25. Agree steve, and unfortunately any new boss woud have to work with the same grouo of players who, right now, arent good enough
