Yep, every summer we hope it’s different.
Even after finally winning a

But I guess that’s what happens, when we’re in continuous rebuild modes.

Absolutely
Definitely a scouting MOP … massive ordnance penetrator
Pig in a poke. Got royally tucked upHe hasn’t really been given a fair crack of the whip. He’s hardly the Argentinian postiga
I’d take 9th and an FA cupYep, and that's what I am assessing Frank against.
The Europa win wax great but totally incongruent.
The league is where it's at, and that's my area of comparison.
Below 8th, irrespective of other competitions and it's not good enough.
Frank says he wants to see how Donley does in the pre-season, covers the same positions as Eze.We were never getting Eze..
I can't believe people fall for the same shit every single window
We don't shop in the big boy store, Look at the players in TK Maxx that's our level
Or the under 10's transfer market
On one tonight are we?
Hmmm in fairness they are 3 players neither of those clubs would wantYou totally missed the point… pre-season hasn’t started yet FFS!! And we’ve still signed more players than the likes of Newcastle and Villa (Tel, Danso, Takai). Wise up and wake up? stop wetting the bed!![]()
Levy’s like a dog with 2 micro dicksFrank says he wants to see how Donley does in the pre-season, covers the same positions as Eze.
He is a big man united fan, so that will sway itWhy is it players keep choosing Man Utd? Have they not seen what has happened to that club over the last few years?
We can't sign Eze now anyway. Not when we know his preference was Woolwich. I wouldn't even entertain looking at him even if Woolwich decide they want someone else. He's done.
Man U is, and probably will continue to be, a mess. But if you are an agent, you know your commission isn't tied to how many games a team wins.Why is it players keep choosing Man Utd? Have they not seen what has happened to that club over the last few years?
Man United builds football card collections, not teams. But, they pay well and that understandably matters to players and agents. You just have to look at Bruno Fernandez to see a player wasting big chunks of his career there. Class player but he is a Rolls Royce engine on a shopping cart.Why is it players keep choosing Man Utd? Have they not seen what has happened to that club over the last few years?
If we want these "generational talent" players that come through with massive hype every few years to start fulfilling their potential they need to be given meaningful first team minutes once they're hitting 20. You can make an argument for loaning a teenager but if you've made the call that a 20-22 year old is not good enough for your side and you can't find a club playing in a comparable level to your league to loan them to then they should be moved on ASAP while their hype factor is still high. Pointless letting them sit in the reserves til they're 23 and releasing them for nothing. The likes of Devine, Phillips, Donley really need decisions made, give these guys game time when we can afford to and see what they do playing first team football, so many young players go up several levels lightning fast when exposed to the elite senior game.
I'll never understand why supporters buy into this nonsense.
Alistair Gold was saying how impressed everyone was with Veliz’s finishing after the first few weeks. Let’s not exaggerate . It hasn’t worked but he’s not Ali Dia.Absolutely
I remember reading some of the reports and quotes when he took part in his first few training sessions and it read like a proper ‘George Weah’s cousin’ moment
What the fuck has gone on here
Was it 12m for which we've had our pants pulled down ?
The ‘fucking dick’ has to be fired surely
No thank you
Edit
Adding Tom Bischof (20yo CM Hoffenheim) . This kid keeps popping up with good metrics on data sheets. Hadn’t watched loads, so set about watching some bits and bobs, and like what I have seen. He looks like a slightly more mobile, more tenacious Adam Wharton. Gets his foot in, but also has vision with his passing and pops up with goals/assists too.
