Sam Allardyce

[roydo]

Get the sense that Tosun banging them in is more about Tosun than Allardyce. Funny to see him claiming some credit for it though..!

He did sign him, to be fair. And Walcott.

Not a an, by a mile, but so far, he hasnt wasted us any cash.

I think it is impossible to call. I have not seen anything from any reliable source to indicate to the will be staying or leaving.

I am flip flopping on this myself but I do think it is dependent on who we now want as long term manager and are they available.

Yeah agree they are good signings. I was meaning the thing he said about keeping Cenk 'out of the firing line' in Jan.

I assume most stuff he says is bubbles. Like most football managers, lets face it.

He was hired to do a job, and it seems he has done it. Clap clap.

I wouldnt like it, personally, but unless Moshiri has all ready got someone lined up, I reckon he will be chewing gum in L4 next season.

You could say the warm weather training has worked as it has got Tosun fit and firing

I’ve said before. In that sometimes you have to just give credit where credit is due. But there are too many on here who couldn’t possibly lose face.

I’d go as far as saying Allardyce has managed him perfectly

What a manager

I suspect you may be right. However if this proves to be the case Moshiri will have lost my support , for what it's worth, as clearly his vision of our future is far different than what I'd hoped for. Sad.

A lot of foreigners take time to settle, Henry was abysmal for months when he arrived at Arsenal as was Bergkamp and they are two of the best players ever since the Premier League was formed by Sky.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Walnut was a superb signing and it looks like Tosun may prove to be very good value for money too. I'll take that as Samuel's legacy.

Don't disagree (although it's often overstated how 'bad' they were). But I don't think Allardyce can take attribute his leaving Tosun out of a couple of games in January to Tosun's recent goalscoring form. It's clearly 95% down to Tosun himself!

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

I'm absolutely convinced if he'd been playing Cenk from the off he'd be on 8 or 9 goals now, he'd been on fire for Besiktas, scoring against quality teams in the CL.

Saying he's managed him perfectly is wide of the mark for me, he made his assessment of him after the Spurs game, one game, where we were outplayed and made no chances, even then, Cenk should some good touches and that he had a footballing brain.

This.

I wish Sam well for the future.. but I don't want to see him here next year.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Walcott and Tosun look decent because they were CL players in the prime age range rather than dross from relegation sides or old lags.

 

[Jonte]

If he stays, Moshiri should go.

Now you can just stop that right now....he won’t be here next season, in fact there’s no real reason for him to be here now.....
