Shame about Onyekuru’s work permit as both he and lookman couldn’t do any worse than the 50/60 odd million spent on walcott/iwobi Agreed but think it was more of a case of them pushing for moves rather than us getting shut of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 next summer will be the big kahuna when it comes to ending contracts - Walcott, Bolasie, Sandro, Besic, Pennington, Virginia. I doubt a single one will be re-signed. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 With united potentially bringing smalling back and maybe looking to strengthen in that area what would everyone think about bringing in either smalling, lindelof or Bailey in?

Bailey Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 The league starts on the 12th September - 5 weeks Saturday. I'm not sure we have a pre-season date yet but I suspect it will be at least 4 weeks. Transfer window ends 5th October. When do we expect to make our first 1st team squad signing?

Palfy Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 I have watched Norwich but honestly can’t remember what he was like, so unless he wasn’t playing he didn’t standout for me or I would remember him, Jamal Lewis stood out for me, an attacking full back with great energy in the tank.

RuffRob Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Already said that I think Buendia would be a good signing for us - When you couple tackling stats along with is attacking stats for a 23 year old in a poor Norwich team, it's pretty impressive. He is now English football and Premiership proven. Not going to be silly wages, so a pretty low risk signing at his age. Stats far better than what we have. https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/goal_assist https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/total_through_ball https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/total_cross https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/total_tackle Romey 1878, StevO, markjazzbassist and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has escaped my notice like you say young a few years under his belt at this level good stats, if the money’s right why not, if we could bring in the experience of Allan then why not put someone like him along side him. I honestly feel our midfield needs some big changes I’m even beginning to doubt if Gomes still has the heart, which probably won’t get me on many Christmas card lists. I was watching some old games the other night from the 80s and Reidy and Bracewell were in the centre of the park youth and experience working as a team, that’s the combination we need to find now.

I did thought the same yesterday when I saw a post from the club showing highlights of the West Brom 3-2 game under Martinez. Obviously a very different era to the one you saw but it was just so much more dynamic. We had 4 or 5 people joining in attacks, quality deliveries from Geri and Lukaku putting his chances away. Its madness that we had to come back from 2 down in that game. Funes Mori giving the ball away in a terrible position and Barkley being asked to mark Craig Dawson (and it going wrong - obviously) that caused it. I least I felt like we could come from behind in those days! Matt and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I think we have been conned big time, we got two men Brands and Ancelotti who supposedly are top men in their profession brought in to make us a better team. We are as bad now as we have been for a long time, comparing players like Jagielka, Pienaar, Baines, Lukaku, Gana, and Cahill, to some of the dross we have today shows us that if anything we have gone Backwards. Are they here just for a big pay packet because they don't seem to be doing much improving. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancelotti has only been here a matter of months. How much improving did you expect and how quickly? I agree the players you mentioned are much better than what we currently have, but Carlo can’t just suddenly make the players better in a few months. You need to be looking at previous managers and directors of football if you want to complain. Romey 1878, Matt and Sibdane 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
