So bored of everyone cunting Sammy off for no reason now. He is talking sense. We have made grave errors this window, and have regressed horrendously even just in the period from January last season.
Cheers, but dont even bother, Ive changed my views now and am with them.
Lamela = Messi and this window has been immense.
Again. Have we strengthened with the Bale money? Did we strengthen?
Are we stronger for selling Bale and replacing him with 7 players?
Actually don't believe that.
He was fucked by his injury - the guy was qualityHe was good, not incredible. He got big money moves to Monaco and then the United loan off the game against Chelsea.
People who looked at the stats noticed he actually was pretty average from open play. He got to take a lot of penalties, and that inflated the overall total.
People who do the recruiting at clubs take out the penalties when they evaluate strikers and other players. It's not considered to be a skill that matters. Monaco and United didn't. Then got burned when he didn't perform to his price tag, before or after his injury.
Fucking hell some of you guys need to call calm before you do something you regret
Martial might suddenly become available too.....
It's irrelevant to this debate whether the players turned out to be improvements or not and you are well aware of that.Again. Have we strengthened with the Bale money? Did we strengthen?
Are we stronger for selling Bale and replacing him with 7 players?
The short answer is no.
And thats the typical answer when you dont get what you're looking for
Never said I wouldn't, just don't believe you would because you'd still have to find a reason to moan about something.And at the end of the day we dont have a new striker anyway, so why wouldnt I swap no striker for Deepay, Shcniederlin, Schweinstieger and Darmian?
The fact you wouldnt just shows how big of a total knob you are.
Don't let Sammy fool you, he was in favor of selling Bale at the time, and he loved the Lamela transfer as it was happening. He even believed at the time that our squad was stronger after losing Bale.We strengthened before with the Bale money before he was sold. Don't try and twist it to suit your argument. No one was disappointed with the signings at the time.
You literally twist every comment don't you.
To be fair, I think we will land this one. Really hope so too.
Im not too worried about him being a step down..I honestly think that Bale will have second season syndrome, try way too hard, and get the fuck kicked out of him in La Liga.
Lamela will just come in and tear shit up.
Thats the dream anyway
And I fucking despise Modric and have zero time for Bale either
I'll stop picking on Sammy though and just state the obvious. We were all wrong. Morale was fucking sky high after we sold Bale and reinvested all of that money. Lamela, Soldado and Paulinho were going to fix our tepid play after the rest of the team had forgotten all tactics apart from "give it to Bale", his goals were going to be replaced and spread around the squad for more consistent play. We were going to have Brazil's starting midfield duo! With Eriksen, Lamela and Chadli our problems with creativity were in the past. We had finally signed a 20-goal striker in Soldado, and Capoue's first few games were fucking amazing, if you recall. Levy gave everyone exactly what they were asking for, and it fucking backfired enormously.We were shit last year too.
We lost Bale, yet ended up with a stronger squad. Not gonna go through this gelling bollox again.
The fact is, the team is not progressing as a unit, and AVB has run out of ideas
