Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Saint Domingo]

Yeah, they did that whole survey thing where they clocked guys during matches as I recall. Last one I saw had Keane as top 2or 3 for Burnley and Dyche claimed he was the second fastest guy in the team behind Gray. It’s just not that important as a CB.

Top speed tends to be irrelevant in football. When they did the survey another time a while back Fellaini and Bilyaletdinov came out as our two fastest players. Andy Carrol was the fastest for the RS, none of those three though could beat a man on a football pitch and would be described as slow. It has to be based on acceleration from a start over a short distance. Some players like Walcott have both, he’s got zip but can also maintain a top speed in a foot race. Others like Suarez or Messi have that zip over a few yards but could actually be beaten easily in a foot race over a longer distance.

Being fast doesn't help if you're crap

6 players oh boy, Gonna be deadline day nonsense then.

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

hahaha!, keeps getting worse...once we lose to blackburn -

'turns out we are rubbish, even those fellas i have just got back from the world cup are terrible, 11 signings please bill'

“Of course, I don't want to change everything straight away and sign 10 players, it doesn't make sense in this moment. We need to be sure about things and the players to come in need to improve us.”

I’ve only seen the World Cup performances. What I like most about him is his desire, the last passionate centre half we had was Gough. Should he sign I tip him to be a cult hero.

That’s the bad thing about the World Cup, all players have desire and passion for it, even Kev would have looked interested if he was selected. They can’t force moves etc playing for their country so attitude isn’t really a problem, with club footy players get unhappy all the time

Tell that to Mesut Ozil.

Lol yeah you’re right, takes a massive bell to do it tho.

6 signings? Wtf Marco?
He’s either not been impressed with what he’s seen (couldn’t blame him).

Or he’s given that figure so when we only sign 3 players and are sitting in 14th by Christmas, he can say “the club never gave me the players I wanted”.

Yep, perhaps another CB too if, please God, Williams is flogged

Looking a safer bet than Keane at the moment.
