Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Quim]

To me the captain isn't made to appease the fans it is made to set forward who you want the leader of the club to be. For me that means obviously the person should be a leader in the squad but also should be someone who is playing at the standard we want. That leaves Digne and Keane since Seamus is probably not going to be an automatic starter much longer and even if he is doesn't hit the level of someone like Digne.

Now if Seamus is the clear leader of the team and no one steps up to that level it will have to be him. But I still don't think who the supporters see as their representative should matter at all.

Don't worry mate, whoever they pick I don't think it will be to please me

Haha fair enough

Gana, Gomes and Sig aren't going to play every single game.

And the drop after them to Schneiderlin and Davies is so significant we are a completely different, inferior team when the 3 above are rested / injured.

Delph for £10-15m is a no brainer. To me, anyway.

When Schneiderlin came in last season it had very little impact on our form.

This is something that people have glossed over in the Gomes love fest

Sake lads, Delph and Drinkwater? State of this thread.

In the Christmas period we collapsed partly because we couldn't rotate or rest any of the midfield.

Not really, most people on here mentioned how much better Schneids looked last season than the season before.

That's not what I mean though. People have glossed over that the teams performance didn't change when Gomes went out.

We collapsed cos pickford had a brain fart that knocked the stuffing out of us for a few months

Well that was one reason as was our poor defending at times. Another was the weakness of our squad which meant Silva had to flog the likes of Gomes and Sig. Look at the options on the bench. We lack in quality midfield and forward options if you ask me.

Schneiderlin proved after that period that he could come in and perform well.

He did in February

He did. But do you see the same quality replacements for Gomes/Sig or Richarlison?Or even players that can fill in. I also think we will move Morgan on if we can. Delph would be an option for me.

Drinkwater more like DrinkPISS right?

Should we pick up Premier League winner Shinji Okazaki on a free to solve our striking problems?
