ohhh_yeah 2765 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I saw this list earlier and laughed a sneeze out of my nose. Replace my alcohol. Ali Dia, Flo, Bebe, Bramble, David Bellion, Carroll, Dundee, Torres, Jeffers, Alves, Downing, Mutu, Keane, Shevchenko, Djemba Djemba and Boateng. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Personally I won't be able to indulge in the fantasy football transfers until we start looking like we might stay up. Not to piss in anybody's cornflakes or anything 😁 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4963 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Yeah I'm also not sure that we should be spending that kind of money on players who would be prepared to come and dig us out of a relegation battle. I think we have to be really careful in this window tbh. Do just enough to survive and then go full power in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34382 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 From every account I've heard/read, that's exactly the way the new owners see it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking steps like that is clear anti competition and targeting. The clubs need to fucking grow up, it’s already happened and I don’t understand the logic, even if we got relegated nothing changes I don’t understand all these fans and I guess some of the top management at clubs that think it means anything other than a wasted year for us, we’d hoover up all the top championship talent and likely have Paulo Fonseca as manager there ffs. I’d hope that’s just the mail writers making shite up and they wouldn’t try something as fucking absurd, but after that sponsorship ban bollocks I wouldn’t put it past the thick cunts. Realistically, we're not going to convince Declan Rice to leave West Ham and join us right now. I would be more worried about Newcastle signing the best of European up and coming talent, than I would be about us signing James Tarkowski or whomever. We're not yet at the stage where we can cherry pick the best players in the same way Liverpool, Man City or Man Utd can, so what's their worry? There's only 4-5 clubs we could nick a player from, so I cannot imagine that 19 clubs will get together to stop us signing PL talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34382 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I'll say this though, when you watch a couple of lads playing fantasy football to improve the squad in January, I do start to wonder what we're all worrying about. European qualifier form from Jan onwards, lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12452 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Having to have homegrown players for squad registration is “boring accountancy stuff” apparently . Loads of these accounts are gutted we’ve been bought as they’ve not got a fucking clue what any of our players are like, they all fairly consistently act like Lascelles is our best CB.

Alex 30367 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Whenever Lascelles has been our injured in the last couple of seasons it’s been used as an excuse for any losses due to how important he is. Like you say, it’s based on more and more people repeating what someone has said and assumes is the case. Rather than any actual analysis based on having watched our games. He’s been a liability for a while now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of looking at what possible systems, possible coaches will play. Half of the players they mention aren't getting into the squads because they're not good enough for the teams gunning for Europe, and given we're going to need that level of performance in the tail end of the season, they're not the players for us.
