    Bedwetting but

    Point being - not having your own players means you have to start from scratch every year. Either loaning the same players OR like for like replacements. It's a hamster wheel that leaves you short (as we are seeing right now with a whole new defence trying to gel together). I don't disagree with...

    Bedwetting but

    It takes time to build a team. The last one took 3 years. There's no quick fix. It's not a lack of effort/lack of team meetings or even lack of ability. It's time learning from games, training etc. We are still missing some key links in the chain but I think there's a lot of over-reaction given...

    Bedwetting but

    Well we don't have two players worth a combined £35mn in the team, no. But Robins has been saying that the quality of players will come through. Van Ewijk is an upgrade on Dabo. I think Da Silva is an upgrade on Bidwell. Centre-halves - last year they weren't our players. The three we've brought...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    I think he'll be fine. We're not actually creating that many clear cut chances IMO. Last night he should have scored. But I don't think he's had a ton of opportunities. I think we need to go back to the box - let Kelly and Eccles sit in with Allen and Ayari buzzing around...until O'Hare returns.

    How many minutes before writing off a player?

    ah yes - blanked on beating cardiff last year. 9 points from the 6 games

    How many minutes before writing off a player?

    I actually dont think we're far off but it will take some time (and luck with injuries) to all come together. Game by game: - leicester - excellent, unlucky to lose - middlesbrough - good win - swansea - dominated, couldnt put them away - sunderland - pretty even - watford - pretty even - poor...

    haven't received £35mn over time - payments are staggered over years. Granted what we payout will be staggered as well but there are still wages and agents fees to cover on day one. We don't have £35mn just sat in an account waiting to be utilised.

    so is the better option to overpay and/or bring someone in that doesnt fit the model? You have no idea what has gone on and what is going on. What we can say with some degree of confidence is that we've had probably our most productive window in decades in terms of the quality of player coming in.

    yes, generally speaking when 'working on transfers' the Chairman won't have time to speak for 5 minutes, let alone eat/sleep etc so the only conclusion must be there are no transfers

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    There are some classic go tos when listening to phone-ins etc: - he needs to give more effort/he's not trying - 'get me on there and I'll give 100%' (aka the Sean Flynn argument) - why don't we switch to an entirely different system (someone yesterday asking why we don't play 4 at the back when...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Yes and screaming 'SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE QUICKLY' on a forum is exactly the right approach to coax that talent out from where it's currently hiding. There's a difference between saying someone had a bad game and saying 'he's shit'. FWIW he looked OK at leicester - snatched at a few but won the...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    he looks exactly like Vik did imo - lacking match sharpness and an understanding of the system. But it's very gracious of you not to write him off just yet......

    So that makes it OK? Godden is a seasoned pro - been at the club years. His situation is different - although no idea why he gets abuse.

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    The irony of this forum. Folks updating by the minute for exciting transfer news only to write a new signing off three games into the season. The same clueless morons who called for Biamou over Gyokeres. Simms is going to be just fine. Everton fans rated him - good finisher.
