He's only away on loan, we haven't gotten the speculated £11m yet.
-
Embarrassing...
-
On the face of it that's a fair point, but we've got a coach in the same league as Sir Bob now who actually has the ability motivate and to actually improve players as the season goes on. The vast majority of our squad won't have played for someone with Bentez's ability before, a lot of his ex players say he's the best they've worked with. Of course we're all allowed an opinion on who's coming in, but trying to play FM in our own heads doesn't allow for what might happen with the players during the season and how they might develop.
Look absolutely, I think he will play better under Benitez and you can't deny his managerial talent, but I certainly feel there's more value for money out there than £5m for Ciaran Clark....
-
Marseille must be laughing, got their player back on loan twice and still pocketed £14 million out of it somehow??????
-
Genuinely a like for like replacement for Williamson except about 10 times the cost....
Utterly astounded we have spent more than £10m on Clark and Hanley....
-
Very disappointed with the defensive signings if this happens, Hanley and Clark are very average at best.
Said the same about Hanley... £5.5 million for him?????
We are potentially about to pay £10.5 million for Clark and Hanley, the English transfer market is mental....
-
I hate offering excuses for twats like that. You're in the wrong game if your own competitive spirit doesn't motivate you. And definitely not captain material
Only offering a possible reason as to why he looked more motivated latter end of last season in comparison to previous seasons.
Like I said, I'm not defending it and anyone with that attitude and mindset should not be at the club.
-
I have a strange feeling this guy might actually spend the first half of this season with us...
-
He is but only when he's motivated. I think a lot of the last 2 or 3 seasons he hasn't been. Looked like he'd got some of his motivation back towards the end of the season mind. I do kind of feel that it's past time to move him on now though.
I agree with you to an extent, the last two seasons his manager has been Pardew and McClaren, I could see why he might have a movitation problem under those two clowns - not that I am defending that mindset/attitude....
No surprise he looked better towards the end of last season, he was working under a more intelligent manager and not a daft head coach.
-
I must admit I've paid virtually no attention to football close season, but I'm a bit disappointed that we haven't had any really exciting signings. (Unless I've missed them).
I'm actually more worried about still having Sissoko, Anita, De Jong, Gouffran, Riviere and Sammy in the first team... and even then I'd prefer if we got rid of Janmaat and Tiote long term...
-
£35 million for Sissoko actually makes me laugh so much.
How fecking amazing would it be if we got anywhere near that amount of money money for him!!!
-
£25 million for Wijnaldum; practically pays for Gayle, Ritchie and Hanley already.
I'm liking the look of our team already (even if I do think we have perhaps overspent ourselves - but that's just the nature of the English transfer market nowadays).
-
We bought him for £1.8m; even if we get £18m for him it's a fantastic bit of business...
-
The consensus from what I've heard is that he (and the rest of the defenders) have been poor for Scotland
I think he's a high end championship player, who will do well for us. Good addition to the squad
I would agree to an extent... not sure he merits £5.5m however...
As we're in the Championship that's ok then.
Perhaps so but £5.5m on a player who will get found out in the Premiership?
-
Glad to see the back of him.
-
Blackburn fans seem to like him...
And what have Blackburn amounted to since relegation?
I've seen him plenty of times for Scotland to see he's nothing better than a Championship defender.
-
Will see us through the Championship, not someone who should be playing in the Premiership; he's gash.
-
Is Chalobah the lad that was pretty highly rated at Chelsea? He seems to have just been permanently on loan at championship sides.
I think he was on loan at Napoli last season!
-
If someone bids even £15 million for him we will be fucking laughing.
-
£15m for a player we spent £1.8m on, we would be fucking laughing.
-
We have some amount of shite in that pool of players, we should look at having a squad of about 25 not 35....

If any player owes us absolutely nothing, it's Townsend. I can't see why he would get any hate. He signed with a get-out clause. From the outset, the intention was to help keep us up or go. What's the problem?
There are people to blame for Townsend leaving (heaps of them), but Townsend isn't one of them. Townsend was honest in his intentions all along.
All in all, I'm with Howay. He wasn't here long enough for me to be arsed that he's leaving. He's a good player, but I don't think he's spectacular in any sense. When we go back up, we could sign one of any number of players that would be just as good (or better) than him.
Nothing against him, he did well for us, but it's not like we've lost a future England great. We haven't even lost a current England regular (not that that particular designation means anything these days).
Anyway, good luck to him. He did well for us. If his teammates did the same, he'd still be here.
Absolutely agree, stunned that a few folk on here have criticised him for leaving; we would have been relegated long before we did if we didn't have him in the team.
-
He won't stay, I'll be amazed if he's still here come September.
-
If he stays on then what a signing by the way.

Wouldn't be arsed if he left.
