And now (I know it's only a game) he's in 50% of all PL fantasy football teams, only Vardy (51.4%) is selected in more. Good on him, wish him nothing but success. pete0, StevO and Sibdane 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catching up on some threads post the holidays. In Sig's first season with Spurs they finished 5th. In his second season we got 5th and finished above Spurs who got 6th. He was then sold to Swansea... So strictly speaking it wasn't a joke from nogs when he was talking about him not being up to the level of Top 4 teams. Would sell Siggy and Morgan in January and bring in some players but not sure anyone would be looking to pick them up as both are on big wages and older. Certainly a tricky one for Brands to sort out as we are short in the midfield for various reasons. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Gilfi is a joke. Please if we can get something back for him let’s do it. Maybe abroad were the game is slower and they don’t realise he’s taking the piss Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Easy to say now but surely Davies and Delph would have offered more ‘bite’ and Sidibe as a right winger?!

Palfy Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 He’s another waste of money on big wages that we won’t be able to shift, add him to Gylfi Schneiderlin Sandro Tosun Niasse and matey from Palace who’s name as completely been erased from my memory and we are looking at over 600k a week, and who in there right minds will take any of them on a free if they had to pay their wages not many, and you can bet that those who have a couple of years left on their contracts won’t rip them up to go somewhere else for less money.

Romey 1878 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Delph it utter dog shit. Never liked him as a player the whole time he's been around and was devastated that we signed him. It's pretty clear from seeing the fella up close (when he can stay fit) that the only reason City had him there was to meet the homegrown quota. Just more shit to add to the pile of shit we already had. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holgate would have been destroyed on the ball but at least he might have got close enough to them to make a tackle! EFC-Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Where's Banigime? Maybe just blue tinted glasses, but I thought he showed great promise under Unsy last time. Thought he was due to get in under Dunc but then got injured. No longer listed as injured on the official site, maybe just Carlo hasn't had a chance to run the rule over any of the young players? Maybe he's not ready (or won't be), but hard to imagine he'd be less mobile or more of a liability than the usual suspects right now.

Just more shit to add to the pile of shit we already had. Got to say I was wrong. I’ve had a week off the forum after the derby just felt like it was just a piss take. I was gutted tons more in the dystin semi when we got beat like but this was a different shit. Then I read the aftermath and it killed me off. Delph is an average player. I’m sure Carlo has seen better players in his street. If carlo is committed then I’m all for him getting rid of that whole midfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Centrally Schneiderlin - Doesnt offer anything really, a shadow of the player who could turn the ball over so effectively Delph - A piss poor man's Barry, not good enough Davies - Odd moments of decency to then be undone by utter shite passes and decisions, not and won't ever be good enough as a starter imo Sigurdsson - I've never classed him as a central midfielder as such more of a number 10, he's statistically great but just seems to float through games Gomes - Baaaaadly missed!!! Gbamin - Jury's still out obviously due to lack of playing time Overall that's a pretty piss poor set of players to rely on imo bar Gomes and possibly Gbamin, personally I'd like to see the back of them all bar Davies purely due to low wages and being a squad player Until the summer window Carlo is severely limited with how he can set this side up without including such players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Always been a Davies fan, but unfortunately I’m starting to see what many have said. He is average and doesn’t show any signs of improving. Gomes speaks for himself. Missing him. Sigurdson... I don’t know what to say. Captain today. Half expected him to take a corner and try to pass it back to Pickford. Walcott. Just annoys me to see his name on the sheet. Bernard is starting to get up to ice with the premier league now and is looking great. Iwobi. I really want to like him and see something special. But I don’t tho k he has the ability. He is as good as he is ever going to get. We need either Alan Ball, Peter Reid, or even a Carsley type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 We need a real quality centre midfielder but they cost a shit load. Look at the lad Tottenham bought? He cost what 60 mill and he’s hardly set the world alight. I’m sure Carlo has contacts all over the world. I’m excited to see who he wants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was decent today, one of his better games.....but it was only Brighton so I don't think he can take us to the level we want to be at. Could be a modern day Alan Harper from the bench though maybe, love for him to stay and succeed because his uncle was a proper hero of mine. chicagoblue and Shukes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Thought Davies played well today, certainly in the first 60 minutes he kept driving us forward. His passing was good and he blocked the passing lanes and put some good tackles in. He is not a natural defensive midfielder and it shows, he is more of a box to box player, but against Brighton he coped fine. Its difficult playing with Siggy because although he was better today he is not a midfielder and anyone playing with Siggy in midfield has to keep an eye on him and cover any mistakes he makes. I would like to see Davies play with Gomes or Gambin. StevO, pete0 and chicagoblue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
