With respect, there is. Some of us enjoy his contribution.
Would be a shame if this place became an echo chamber with no contradicting opinions

Hmmm.

I can't say I do, and by the looks of it, many would agree with me.

That said, and I'm sure you know this, obviously it was tongue in cheek as I usually do (unless someone's royally had a go at me and pissed me off), and I'm not expecting him (or anyone!) to read me telling them to delete their account and then actually go do it.

Much easier for me to keep on scrolling if there's posts I don't have much time for.

You're correct I suppose on the whole 'echo chamber' thing, it would be boring. Let's not pretend there's no such thing as stupid/annoying posts though (a general point - I should know, I've posted plenty of them)

You!?

Mate that's bollocks..... Poch had:

Kane, Son, Dele, Eriksen, Lamela, + the likes of Llorente, Jansen, Andros, Chadli, GKN, N'Jie & young'ns in and out of the mix (depending on the time stamp).

............Tell me when WH have EVER had that much quality to select from in attack? ........Let alone us having us having as poor a squad as theirs "for a decade or more".
Wow, I haven’t laughed as much at something in a long long time.

Are you seriously, seriously trying to say that Pochettino had “quality” at his disposal with the likes of Llorente, Janssen, Townsend, Chadli, Nkoudou and Njie? Like seriously? Even Lamela, “quality”?? Really? I mean I’ve seen revisionism before but my god that is really taking the piss.

I really, really hope you were being sarcastic with that post. I mean, seriously?
:maddisonhmm:
 
Personally, I would still take the punt on Todibo. I think if he's straightened his attitude out, he's got some really good qualities, and is comfortable on the ball too. I think one way or the other Todibo could easily force himself to be a starter, as I don't think Romero's (or VDV for that matter) flawless.
From what I've seen of both I think I agree. Personally think we need two CBs ideally.
 
There’s no point getting in the way of Arsenals destruction by the press, so we will give that the limelight it deserves and just as the press start to step back, boom, we will announce the double signing of Werner and Dragusin👍👍

That miserable cunt has blown almost 600 million in his tenure, and post match bemoaned the fact that he was going to have to improve the players he had as there was no money for new players in January.

Like talking to Jose or Conte.
 
I feel like normally I give the benefit of the doubt when we're bartering on fees, but this is a joke from Levy. The manager came out before the window and said I want stuff done quickly, we could have had Dragusin on January 1 and made sure he was ready for United in two weeks, but for the sake of a couple million we're not. We likely will never need this guy as much as we do right now and we're fiddling around with the fee even after one of our makeshift centre backs went down. It was already silly we didn't get back up defenders in the summer now we've left it and paid the price, and now are making the same mistake and we'll end up saving 2 million yet he'll probably be back around the same time as Romero anyway and not get a kick.
 

I personally wouldn't say no to another CB but where, next season would that leave Phillips and Dorrington?

And that isn't me necessarily advocating for them... just honestly wondering if there would be space for 6 CBs in our squad or if anyone know if these guys will even be able to start playing first team football by next year?
 
Fair point. I'm not saying it needs weeks of intensive coaching but you aren't going to drop a player in on Monday and expect him to the match ready on Saturday. Unless of course, your first name is Mickey.

Ange will, he backed himself by playing VDV against Brentford and he will do it with Dragusin at OT otherwise what's the point?

Can't have a manager who preaches bravery and sticks to his principals and not back himself or his talent ID.

If he played Emerson against Haaland at the Etihad the he's gonna start Dragusin against Utd.

Read the full post and the one that I replied to.

I specifically said that list is far and above anything WH have had over the last 10 years. The first 4 alone piss all over everything they're collectively had for a decade.

Who have WH had....?

Antonio, Carrol, Carton, Carton Cole.... + Bowen who I actually think is pretty good


Shit troll. Do one. :dembelefingers:

Are you Daniel? That sounds like a Daniel thing to say.

We defo need 4 CB's next season if we are playing Euro footy especially, there's no way we can rely on Romero to stay fit and stay on the pitch and VDV who I'm not convinced will stay fit through the course of the season either

Let them all fight it out for game time and who can to be the best CB, they will all push each other to higher levels which is much better for us.

Suspect Phillips/Dorrington will be sent out on loan.
