I agree it has been a miracle although our league form has suffered from a result there is no denying it. As RDZ has mentioned several times not many sides sell two of their top players without something coming the other way. The manager needed to freshen up the squad in January and I think we...
Surely playing some of the best football in the PL means we would be fighting it out for the title and not getting hammered 4-0 at Luton with some fans having a bad feeling about the visit of the mighty Everton.
We’ve been vastly inconsistent this season to a point where we don’t know what team...
They did sign David Fofana who was on our radar until Winstanley and co rocked up at shitsea although I guess that is really hard to prove he wasn’t on their radar as well..
Another couple of our targets will be Chelsea bound now.
Roy Keane recently said why are Chelsea raiding Brighton , Brighton haven’t won anything and are unlikely to win anything. He finds it as strange as I do.
A £10m profit for a top 4 player isn’t that great is it? Dan Burn had a better return rate. I didn’t think the Trossard fee was superb either. All about opinions
I’ve heard Chelsea are keen on relocating to the south coast and want to play in blue & white stripes.
Baleba cost £23.2m Biss was between £12-15m. Quite a difference there making Baleba our second highest purchase in the history of the club.
We made a poor return on Biss IMO.
Why didn’t Chelsea keep Bruno then and promote him upstairs if the only qualification you need is to speak Spanish. There is a reason why Jewel is being head hunted and I don’t think it’s for his bi lingual skills.
So a value signing then £17m well spent. £20m for a kid who only played a few games in France seems reckless and I think his performances to date have aligned with that. It’s annoying because we have been crying out for an experienced player in midfield to replace one of the two we lost in the...
Maupay was our top scorer cant complain with that, the others were relatively low transfer fees. As for Baleba £20m is high transfer fee for us although I agree it takes time I would have hoped to see something more from the lad.
Cucurella was 21 when he signed first season in the PL around...
As supporters all we can do is see the progress of youngsters on the pitch. Post Ashworth & co a couple of examples Baleba looks over priced & Ayari looks way off it. Bart for £20m work in progress. The spend has gone up has the quality gone down?
Compared to Mitoma, Enciso, Pervis, Cucurella...
The big difference is we play our youngsters which in turn they get better and then the rest of the football world takes notice. Those first team opportunities won’t come around easily at the top end clubs so how are they going to play youngsters and have the patience as they will make mistakes...
Idiots? I’m not so sure when they check their bank balance at the end of each month.
To a degree on a much smaller scale aren’t we all the same, If I’m about to start a job for two grand and a job for ten grand pops up I’m doing the ten grand job.
I find it strange that these so called top clubs think the way to succeed is to take staff from a mid table side/maybe top ten if we are lucky occasionally. I could understand if we were comfortably sitting in the champions league spots.
YoYo club Newcastle or to arguably one of the biggest or if not the biggest clubs in the world.
Newcastle maybe slightly above us in the food chain although if the likes of Man City or Liverpool seriously came in for Isak he’s out of there.
If the Jewel rumour is true I wonder if Radcliffe is...
