Yes and I think the signings so far show MR is looking to have more flexibility and options in how we set up. Bringing in players with more versatility or just different to what we have had before. Not saying we are not going to stick with what is tried and tested. But sometimes you need to...
Not for the first time this season Da Silva isn't fully aware of where his man is. When he does realize he doesn't close them down enough too prevent crosses coming in. None of the centre backs really get back goal side and their end position makes it easy for Yates.
For me so far Da Silva...
We shouldn't see any player as a replacement for a previous player. We should see them as an alternative. They should not be judged on what another player may or may not have done in any given situation. People soon forget the indifferent games Vik and Hamer sometimes had. Form fluctuates it...
Exactly. We may not be the finished article but we are not shit. We have 4 points from 3 (2 of those games have been away). Last year we got 1 point from first 4 or 5 games (although they were all away).
Yes, also it is about players getting to know each other and what runs they make. If you don't pick the pass at the right moment the opportunity is gone within a second.
We need another option in midfield (although we have had glimpses of what Palmer and O'Hare might do together). Things will...
Just like you have a history of bitching about certain players at every opportunity - yes people will be wondering have you got out of your wank pants yet today?
So Palmer isn't injured he has a family issue. But some of our fans like to jump all over him at the slightest opportunity. Same as Wilson, Bidwell and Godden.
Burnley got 46 million (whether that was after paying off contracts previous staff, loss of sponsorships etc not sure)? But that was what they said their income had dropped too through relegation.
If you watch the programme they had to sell a lot of players and had a strict budget. The Chairman was concerned they had over spent once you took into account bonuses and add ones, and the accountant said with the loss of revenue the income was flat.
Kompany was in agreement with the board...
The trouble is a lot of teams spend more than the pay cheque and still come back down. I think at least two of last years relegated teams had spent £140 million plus on transfers.
I think that is why nothing happened this week. We couldn't get it over the line for a fee we felt was reasonable. We are probably focusing on other targets now.
