People shouting the odds about Keane but is he really going to help us get top 4?

Stop accepting second best and just go all out for VVD.

Attacking players wise looking below us in the table I believe that only Sig' is a top 4 player the rest are inconsistent. I like Redmond for example but he's inconsistent we have enough of them that why Sig is for me the only player attacking wise we can get from inside the Prem realistically that could really improve us attacking wise

Buy them both.

We need at least 2 CBs in the summer.

Hes rubbish, watch him, his positional play is utter jokes, hes a big strong unit, but honestly isnt the standard we should be going for.

I do watch him Goat, regularly. I like the lad.

I'd go as far as to say his positioning is a lot better than VVD who, despite being class, is very Smalling at times.
 

Our players have plenty of league titles, trophies etc between them. Not to mention Koeman himself.

It's such a worn phrase.

We need quality, first and foremost. Usually, quality players have a winning mentality.

Lukaku, won nothing outside of a one horse league when a teenager
Barkley, won nothing
Gueye, won nothing
Schneids, won nothing
Davies, won nothing
Mirallas, won the Greek league
Baines, win nothing
Jagielka, win nothing, been relegated.
Williams, won nothing
Coleman, won nothing
Robles, won the fa cup, got relegated same season.

3 of our first choice have won something in their careers, 2 of those in pure pony leagues, the other got relegated same season he won something, club captain won nothing but been relegated as captain.

That's our best 11.

Besides for a washed up Barry our players haven't got lots of trophies at all mate.

He can tackle and hes good in the air, ive just noticed him ball watching a number of times, not the level of player we require.

Fair enough if that's your view of him.

Personally I think at 24 he's only going to improve and in the mean time would be ideal to put alongside Williams and/or another.

Reminds me a lot of Cahill when he was at Bolton, better on the ball than him though, not exactly a brilliant cb, but would be good alongside a better one (much like Cahill has been tbf)

Schneiderlin has won an FA Cup.Robles won an FA Cup, Super Cup and Europa League.

The Wigan players...

My point is, it's a silly phrase that shouldn't be used.

Peter Reid wasn't a 'winner'. He was a fighter - a character (which is a phrase that @Saint Domingo rightly used). Maybe I'm being pedantic but I just don't like the term.

Kone's won two league titles and an FA Cup. Irrelevant of what league he was playing in.

If you mean Schnedierlin won an FA Cup last season mate, i would hardly count a medal won in a game he was an unused substitute in really.

Similarly giving Robles a EL win when he didn't even make the match day squad for the final - even as the substitute keeper is also stretching things a bit honestly (same for the super cup for what thats worth)

The two/three Wigan players - yes they won an FA Cup, they also got relegated within 2 weeks of that win, so what does that say about their mentality?


I think when people quote 'winners' they are often referring to people who where a large factor in a team winning something and not in a tin pot league mate, people who have shown in their careers they turn up in big games may also be something they are referring too.

But my point wasn't about this or that, it was more questioning that our squad has a myriad of players who've won league and cups etc, it really hasn't - top of my head i'd argue the majority of teams in the league have more trophies amongst the players than we have for example.
 
VVD would be the dream. Koulibaly would also be great. I want an absolute man mountain at the back literally propping the entire team up. Someone who'll just rip the armband off Jagielka and claim it for his own.
 
I just saw a rumor posted that Arsenal are going to sell Sanchez abroad in the summer to Juve for 35 million euros. That definitely cannot be true, otherwise theres no reason for us not to go after him. Hes going to fetch much more than that. Still its nice to dream...
