I knew Dawson a little bit and he is one of the nicest guys in the game and loved the club.
Actually, that is a pretty good call.
Once in a blue moon, this happens with me. Let's see if today is the day.
He’s huge contract at RM is finished.
Any new contract offered to him is not going to be anything like what he was on before no matter where bale end up
Maybe if Wales don't make it
That’s insane.
In that case we should 100% get Eriksen back.
Could play in a two against weaker teams and has also performed brilliantly in the two behind the striker for us in exactly the same wingback system under Poch.
Also won’t prevent the development of Sarr and Skipp who we seem to have placed a lot of faith in
Not saying he didn't try. I just never ever got a passion fir the club from him.
I don't see what the length of experience has to do. If he's good enough and has a high footballing IQ all this goes out the window. A year younger and he bossed the Championship, which is not an easy league to play in. And he was excellent in the half season he played at top level. So yeah, I think he'll do for a Conte team challenging for a title.
Whilst we are all patiently awaiting the next signing
New contract?
If bossing the Championship is so hard, why do most promoted teams go straight back down?
I'm not saying PEH or Bentancur are the midfielders we need to win the league. but Skipp isn't. Without a shadow of a doubt, we're not going to push Liverpool and City all the way with any 2 of those 3 playing week in week out.
I was just aswering the guy that stated Doherty isn't good enough and doesn't deserve prise. If we improve on him, nice, I would like that too, if we doesn't I wouldn't bother much as he adapted very well to Conte's tactics, it seems. I criticised him almost every game he played since the arrival, but he was outstanding in his last games for us and if he keeps that form I wouldn't mid him starting either.
I'm confused. Are you saying you didn't think Dawson or Defoe "were Spurs" or that Bale wasn't Spurs like those 2 were?
De Jong's wages are out of line with our budget. He's on 400 grand a week. And he doesn't have that much of an engine.
Having a more creative midfielder would be nice, but they also need to have an engine and be able to pull off the defensive work when required.
I take your point but imho, they are simply too ordinary. Our bench needs to be as strong as other competitive top class teams. These guys are simply stop gaps. We can do better.
I don't think De Jong represents very good value for money given what Barca are looking to get for him and what his wages are. He doesn't want to leave Barca either by all accounts, would be a real uphill battle to get him to come here when I think if you have 75m euro and 400k a week you can go and get someone who fits us better no problem, I think Milinkovic-Savic would be very gettable with those numbers.
He mentions something about POTY nominees announcement at 5pm
