Still playing Llorente? Or Moura as our striker?
In my opinion, Llorente and Janssen need upgrading (not sure how anyone can argue against that but each to their own), so why not do it now?
Dembele has gone, and needs replacing, so that one player can cover the loss of Dele and Sissoko and one striker to replace our two back up strikers.
So three out, two in.
Its hardly wildly panicking and buying players just to cover injuries for a few weeks. They'll still be here next season, hopefully improving us.
As for Poch not playing them. Well maybe he should.
Personally not happy with the treatment of Janssen. Unless the boy is an absolute tit, it’s hard to understand why he has been so publicly and visibly ostracised.
Not going on loan doesn’t seem like sufficient justification.
Especially when we forked out 18 million quid for him, makes no sense
Same old January question.... "Why would a club that has something to fight for sell anyone decent"...?
Any good CM is going to be out of reach in January. Unless it’s a Rabiot, who’s dicking around with his contract, they’re just not up for sale.
There are more forwards about, simply as they are more likely to be surplus to requirements.
Why would a decent striker be "surplus to requirements" anywhere?
What worries me is we don't sign anyone, our season collapses and we yet again win nothing... This becomes the final straw for Poch and we lose him. We then lose players and start to regress. Screw the stadium and all the delay bollocks. It's just the construction company rinsing us for every penny they can get. This seems to be the generally accepted reason why we're not buying players. Well, it's got to stop. Maybe the stadium was too soon and it's all too late now anyway.
Levy’s false economy.
That’s exactly what will happens if we don’t strengthen. And the value that we offer as a club, will decrease.
Hate the cunt
Crack or heroin?
Younger, and perhaps playing second fiddle to a striker at a big club. Not saying there are loads of them, just probably easier to get than a good CM.
I simply hope IF we bring someone in that they were already targets (i.e. potential purchase being brought forward); rather than some 'injury fix' like you describe.... Only gonna lead to more dead wood we'll struggle to shift and we'll be back to where we were last summer all over again; no wriggle room in terms of squad-size and lacking HGs.
Up front together?
So why come here, of all places, to play 2nd fiddle to the worlds best #9?
(Probably on bigger wages on the so-called big club bench anyway....)
Can't back it up with any facts or data, but re: your point about CMs; I'd would speculate it's be the exact opposite....
Yes, that’s a very good point. They’d be screwing themselves even more.
It’s possible I’m talking utter shit. I just get the impression that genuinely good DM/CMs are like hens teeth.
I guess we’ll have to.
Fernando will be chuffed. Do we know yet if Lucas can kick the ball in the air?
Has there been any sort of explanation for that? It doesn't seem to make any sense at all.... right now we NEED a striker (Llorente is wank), surely he must be worth another try?
Just that he refused to follow Poch’s instruction and go on loan. Mix that in with a bit of arrogance and Poch has basically cut him dead.
Seems a touch harsh.
