lol no. I'm saying the players we signed replaced those in the squad. the fact they displaced current players means they were good signings, but essentially they were signed as part of the squad and to be options. the fact the team has improved is based on good business by the club. there...

See i think the bigger issue with Esks info to be fair was that it was very high profile. So if he was talking about bolasie and gueye then no-one would be too arsed. But the fact he mentioned players who were genuinely top players it caused the rift with attitudes because it would appear to...

It is different tactics though than before. McCarthy is not being told to do what he did under martinez so whether he can cover Gueye or not, we will find out this season. Clev and gib cannot do Barry's role in the team, not without being a glaring weakness there. Gibson possibly, but not...

It is cut and thrust so to speak (probably wrong term there haha) We sign gueye, he is good enough to walk into the team. But then the back ups are then unable to perform the same role so it then means that we have 2 back up players currently who cannot perform the midfield roles that they are...

How can you be so flippant to the fact the players signed replaced them in the squad? to be honest it is almost blind ignorance to say 'oh well they improved us so therefore anything else doesn't matter....'. Normally teams have 25 man squads for a reason, they play them. As you say they were...

How did we let him down? Look at the team and see who we actually replaced. Bolasie replaced piennar/mcgeady (players who left or wasn't part of the plan) Williams at 32 + 9 million replaced stones Valencia replaced niasse Gueye replaced osman Stek replaced howard. Relevance of all of...

I know from the average view point it might read as being pessamistic or over the top. But right now, Koeman was let down by the board, no getting away from that. So valencia, no matter how good he could be for us, represents the club getting someone in for the sake of to fulfil a position...

I half expected him to hand his resignation in the next day. sounds silly to say it now but got the impression that because the club signed no-one he wanted he would leave in a huff. It doesn't help his more than 2 years case, if the board are already failing him now at least. Half the reason...

would you swap a huge income to have the Tesco stadium? Or the Asda stadium? Disney Arena, Giffgaff arena, chang bowl? etc what i am getting at, sell the name of it for the highest bidder?

no money to mate.

That is where transfer money comes from mate. No owner personally pays for players.

Free agents Martin Caceres (doesn't seem to be down to injury) Philippe Mexes (injuries) Alex (not sure why) Albeloa (kopite links but cover at the back) Mathieu Flamini (wouldn't say no) Stephane Sessegnon (low contract, cheap player for the squad? ) Kevin Constant- (no idea on him)...

world cup record holder Klose mate?

Look. As much i am negative about the last two months, i am still optimistic for the new season. As dissapointed as i and many others are, at the end of the day this season is still going to be a good one for us. I fully trust Koeman to turn us into a competent unit and top 6 is definitely...

the deal was 5 installments of 6 million, again hardly splashing the cash is it? We may have bid on him knowing Spurs would match it and ultimately sign him? So Phantom bid.

Like Michael Owen mate? Like Alan Shearer? Muller? any of the other phantom bids over the years? Bidding means nothing tbh

YESSSSSSS!!!! Can't go a window without a Yarmalenko link eh? for someone ready to leave kiev 12 months ago, he is still there!

Ok just to pick up on two points What do you base assessing and sorting it by january? Genuine question here, considering for the last 20 years, and certainly over the last 15 we have been terrible at transfers. Nothing has changed no matter what year, how much we have had, or who owns the...

Incredible that we have Niasse at 50 grand a week still on the books because nobody wanted him. If we sold him as soon as the window opened he will still cost the club a million pounds, and he isn't even in the squad ffs. Amazing how nobody wanted him, not even hull!

So did moyes mate.
