Nonsense, we are constantly playing CAM's (Barkley & Naismith) as wingers. Pienaar is injured and Martinez doesn't seem to trust Oviedo anymore, plus the youth aren't good enough yet otherwise they would be playing.

We are desperate for another winger to come in
but we don't actually play a system with wingers. What width we have comes from the LB/RB overlapping. They are more central creative players in those three positions behind Rom, that drift out to get the ball and help the wing-backs. All four should be in the area when the ball is delivered.
 
Your post makes little sense to me, unless ive misunderstood.

Howard has been an average keeper. Hes now the worst in the league.

Talks big instead of doing his job then gets a calf injury.

How he got such a long extension I will never know.
I don't understand your confusion. I didn't say he's been good this season. I said he's not the type of person who would feign injury to force a move to a league he doesn't want to play in just to get out of playing for a team having a poor run of form.

Last season yes, this season no. Baines in particular has been playing almost like a central midfielder with the winger providing the width. This has been very noticable recently.
 

You don't need to add the numbers. The club stated in their final year accounts we made a 20 odd million profit last year after Lukaku etc.

We have a stadium that needs built. Even the work around the plans and everything else related to the project requires a huge amount of money and that's before any building begins. Who do you think is going to pay for that?

If the money isn't spent either this window or the summer it's because they're using it to fund the plans for the new stadium. If that happens I wouldn't be surprised if a few big names go.


And tbh mate, they would be best of doing that imo. We're not going to get investors to help us out with a new stadium, so why not use the new tv money?

It's an extra £30m revenue a season we never had before so we'd be wise enough to keep putting some aside towards the new stadium.

And I thought the accounts were done before the summers transfer activity and we recorded a £20m+ profit before we signed likes of Lukaku?!
 
Mybbad must have misread it.

Didnt really like his comments on friedel to be honest though...totally uncalled for.

Then a few interviews he gave around his book on us too when totally underperforming

I'm pretty sure they where after but I do agree with you regarding the stadium. I just hope it's not wasted.
 
Oviedo on for one of the wingers. Evetually bringing Barkley on for the other. Move Naismith to the wing (better defensively than Ross)
 

Really good performance if a rubbish game. We needed that but it has been coming. 4 draws and now a win. Slowly we're turning the corner.

Now lets beat the [Poor language removed].

Exactly. We need a David Silva kind of player.
