Complacency on here is completely irrelevant, i don't know why people conflate the musings of lunatics on this place with what is going on within the camp.
if we go up we'll probably spunk something around the tune of £100 million trying to figure it out.
He certainly wasn't. I was wondering if the shoeing might affect his confidence coming back after being dropped for the 2nd match! Then people started getting defensive about how nobody else would have done any better etc etc but that was to miss the point completely! He was very wobbly first half on Saturday.
Maybe, but as everyone else has said he has been at least "good" this season.Mine are clearly not working properly DO'D
That was obviously the idea behind signing Brau but Dasilva is keeping him out the team for now. And he's generally been pretty good this season.
Brau? Brau was not brought to be 1st choice. He's a project player
He’s being brought off the bench as he gets used to a big step up in difficulty. Has looked fine so far.
Be better if he decreed a Fatuwa on you.........................................best winger in the League! hahahaha
. We score and keep looking for more now.I think they are thinking about last year when that game started badly and got worse - we score the first goal and our tails are up ! And then there’s the glow factor
*Unpopular opinion alert*
I think that's fair. I guess I quoted your comment but made a more general point about the fact that there are people on here who have an agenda against Dasilva. You must have seen that if you read these pages regularly.
Personally I think Grimes is the one that would be OK in the Prem. He has vision and can ping a 30 yard pass. He had offers over the years at Swansea but was happy to stay until towards the end.
Who was it?
I think quite a few of our first 11 at least would have to get good minutes and a lot of them would deserve it if we completed the job. It's a convo for the summer but personally I'd rather spend our budget, whatever it is, on 6 or 7 of quality rather than spread it too thin. Yes those 6 or 7 would likely be starters, performances permitting, but I would like to think a lot of this bunch would get a chance.
Tend to agree on that recruitment approach. Let’s get there first though!
Ten players say £5m each plus £2m for a year's wages and you're looking at £70m (at least) anyway on top of the current squad and they probably still wouldn't be competitive! It'll certainly be interesting to see what happens, surely the ambition is to be more than a parachute team if the funds can be found.
No chance we do that, King and Lampard obviously have ambition. We're not scratters any more, we own our ground so we don't need to collect the money to purchase that which was the main reason given by many for taking such an approach if we were promoted in previous seasons. It won't be easy but our owner wants us to be a Prem football club, he's going about it pretty well so he's not going to wave the white flag as soon as he gets there.
You can invest without going crazy. There's players in the squad you'd think could step up and there's players you would say are useful to keep around as squad players.
