Last year we had the chance to recruit from a position of strength.
This year much less so. We finished below Palace.
But given we'll lose several first team members .... I reckon we need about 7 first team signings. Of those, I reckon only 1 or 2 as the young prospect types, so that's 5...
Well. Versatility on it's own isn't a bad thing. I guess he'll play full back over not at all, but yes, he needs to find a position and be given a run there, whether for us or someone else.
I disagree with pretty much everything else you've said on this thread
I'm f***ing livid.
We put out a testimonial team when we needed a win to finish above our rivals.
No place for nicey nicey send offs for the likes of lallana.
RDZ will never succeed in a top job with questionable loyalty to questionable players. I've supported him for the whole time he's been...
Webby has done really well for the last 2 games.
But he can't get fit and stay fit.
If he'd stayed injury free this season, he'd have easily seen off the competition for that spot. It's the constant coming in and out which is killing his career
Fati. Yes complete waste of wages
Igor. Has had good moments and good games. He's an ok back up player.
Dahoud. Yes. A cock up.
I'm chucking Milner in. Another waste of wages.
The way i see it, we need to stop the haemorrhage of back room staff. no coincidence that our recruitment over the...
Shocking in front of goal and shocking we conceded two times straight through the centre without them having to do anything.
I think about 8 first team players needed, given the rate we sustain injuries.
I dunno. Maybe The Bill?
In any case. I want to talk about De Zerbi. I'm going to give him so much s***, he's going to think he's the re-incarnation of Judas Iscariot. Who's with me?
Agree. That is one dumb and irrelevant conversation.
The fact Utd seem to be sniffing around McKenna says to me, we've little chance.
The most likely scenario is that he stays at Ipswich and gives it a year there
This is the way I see it.
I don't remember another example, where a club agrees a parting with manager A, recruits manager B, but continues to employ and pay manager A in the hope of negotiating compensation with manager A's future employer.
In addition to never hearing of it happening, I...
Apart from the Italians, basically there's hardly anybody left for RDZ to take with him after the various Chelsea ransackings we've had to contend with
