Predictable... Same again next year then sold to a 10-15th place team cos politicz.
£ was re: Clyne (not both). Whether KW is better would be irrelevant given respective negotiating positions...
This guy is like a cone defending
Yeah, I agree but.... SIGNINGS!!!!!!!!!
ochfacepalm:
I don't think it's right that Koeman is openly talking about Sigurdsson while he's still a Swansea player, impending transfer or not. It's something I love about Poch (and you'd have to say Wenger) they just do not talk about players from other clubs like other managers do. They have a bit of class and respect.
Don't know him, if true I'm just encouraged that we are looking at pacey FB and someone that can take on the opo.
Fosuh mensah is going to Palace on loan.
Very good RB and until he went off at ours 15/16 we were finding it a bit hard.
All went to pot once he left.
I actually think Koeman is a total knob.
And the occasional burlesque piece for Herr Flick from Helga
Listen very carefully I............

It's not a myth - it's simply an opinion you disagree with
Fair enough, but its an opinion that doesnt tally up when you look at the immense number of goals we scored and how they came about.
We are patient in our attack, and too happy to go backwards at times, but we are not slow in my opinion
Our 'pace' come from our width and wing-backs - but our attacking players are not the fastest by any standard. We pass around teams more than beat players 1v1
They are not the fastest in a sprint, but with lightning quick balls over the top (Eriksen to Dele v Chelsea at WHL), and intelligent movement from Kane, Son and Dele, they dont need to be.
Look at the goals.......we are brilliant at catching teams out in the blink of an eye, and then the ball is in the back of the net before they even realise whats going on
yeah wonder if it's like house buying chains. One signs and so it triggers a signing frenzy.
BARLKEY SIGNS!!!!!
I kinda think true pace comes from the collective breaking as a unit stretching a team, not necessarily in a one-v-one scenario. It's about the wingers going wide making space in the middle for the other offence players to run through. In years gone past we had a bit more of this to our game however we seem more able to patiently break teams down now. Don't get me wrong we do sometimes get goals on the break but not as many as teams like Liverpool. Think Lamella was a catalyst to this type of thing, quick feet, quick mind and has reasonable speed.
Also feel it comes from a confidence in teammates to 'go for it', to look up and play it quickly... Again, big part of Lamella, not so much Dembele. Each have their own strengths
