So standing out in a poor team is harder than standing out in a good team?
I absolutely hope I'm wrong. But name the last player we signed that played well from the start of the season.

Well obviously because they have worse players around them playing against better teams.
Not a chance in hell. Firstly they haven’t had the turnover to be able to go all out spending. While it has increased they still aren’t at a level PSR wise where they can spend that kind of money. There was an article about their finances recently, effectively they need a solid season this year with a strong turnover and then next year they will be free to go at it.
Add to this that Sheff Utd now have a wealth of cash as well, there’s only one move for him and it’s upwards believe he has a clause that allows him to go to a Prem Club if they failed to get promoted.

Premiership teams expect players coming from other countries, especially young players, to take over 12 months to settle. Especially if it is the first time they have moved to another country.
This is getting silly. Find someone else to put this rubbish across to them. Because whichever way you put it you have this part totally the wrong way around. A good player will always look better than poor players in the same squad. It's like trying to say our worst players look better because they play with better players
Hamer will want amd get prem football next season. Leeds, Everton or Wolves id say would be potential destinations.
Preston lost fewer games than we did last season
Who's Astutes new moniker? And why does he need a new one...did I miss something?

There are lots of examples where players look good in a really good side, but not so good when they leave that side. Ashley Grimes playing for Manchester United and then Ashley Grimes playing for Coventry City is one.
So why were they only 1 point from relegation and we were in the playoffs. Must be something to do with they only won 10 games all season and we won 20 games. They lost 16 we lost 17.
That's not the point being put across though. KKH was supposed to have a harder job looking better than the poor players they had. Now he is with us it will be much harder for him to take all the awards.
It wasn't a Rudoni problem though was it. You could say the same of Torp and Sakamoto and numerous others. We were very inconsistent. I still felt Rudoni showed more than most early on.
Yep. They won few games and their season completely disintegrated after they were knocked out of the FA cup in the quarter finals. Should we expect their right back to primarily help them win matches or stop them losing them?
Yes it is me.
I'll say it again for those who missed it before. During Covid my wife got seriously ill. As she was having treatment my youngest daughter then ended up with a serious illness. Being in England i couldn't visit for 14 months because of border restrictions on both sides. At the same time as struggling to cope with everything the idiots on here started. I stopped coming on here and even had a lot less to do with footbal as a whole. But it showed both sides of several on here. I said about my serious mental health problems but this seemed like the green light for some on here to help my mental health deteriorate whilst they were saying on the mental health thread how people need all the help they can get.
But as things started to improve life started to get back to 'normal'. I still wasn't coming on here to be an idiots plaything. The problem was without signing in I had to find where I had got to in each thread every time. So I made up one to be able to keep up with where I had got to. The problem is this place gets a hold on you. Think it was where every player we had signed were supposed to be shite. I tried to remind people it isn't easy for a.new player to hit the ground running. And like I kept saying we turned our season around.
The one reason I'm still on here is it's the best place to find out the latest news. Makes it easier to plan my flights for games on top of everything else. I can't be wound up like before as my mind is in a very good place and my wife finally got the all clear and just has to go for extra checks to make sure the cancer isn't back. My daughter has also recovered and has now restarted her education.
So this 'they lost less games than us' when it was only by 1 is neither here nor there.
Hey, I wasn't really aware of all of that to be honest. I'm sure I kind of recall something about you or her being abroad (France?).
I'm sure you and I had disagreements on stuff before (I'm pretty sure I said something along the lines of 'you're not actually that Astute then' - or words to that affect) but no one deserves that sort of pressure on their mental health, especially with two of the closest people you'll ever know, being seriously ill.
I'm glad they're both well now and your daughter has re-started her education - must be a weight off your mind!
FWIW, I've agreed with a lot of your posts as Lamps. This little re-incarnation has done you well ;-)
I didn't call it a Rudoni problem. I mentioned even a player like Rudoni who finished the season as a beast didn't hit the road running. Players rarely do. So i don't expect KKH to do it either. But as he settles in i can see him being excellent for us.
I think you are over labouring your point. We all know Rudoni got better as the season went on but so did the team and other players.
If you are arguing fans don't give players enough time to settle you are arguing with the wrong fan mate.
Finally, you get the point. I was replying to those expecting KKH to be excellent from the start.
Grimes has set the standard, within 10 mins of his first game you knew he was class, maybe a high bar, but that’s how we need new signings to come in, can’t afford to carry players like simms for another season, hoping they come good,
I haven't finally got any point as my opinions haven't changed. Plus you were replying to me.
Correct. You don’t have much of a valid point.
I'll leave you to argue with yourself and revisit in a few months.
Hadn’t thought of Wolves, surely they will need someone to come in and replace Cunha. Hamer could do that job

I'm glad all things are in a good place and even better your wife is cancer free and your daughter back full health, long may that continue my friend
I think he will be very good from the start as he started 51 games for Preston and was there player of the season .
The notion your pushing about him being a novice is drivel
If KKH is half as crap as some are making out I’m very concerned We’ve spent 4.5m on him
Thanks for that
It's a bit of a long story. When the Brexit vote happened I just knew it would be an out vote. I had always planned to retire to France when I reached 60. People thought i wanted Brexit even though it was the last thing I wanted. So my wife and youngest 3 children came to France in 2019 to beat Brexit. Thought I had everything planned perfectly. Then Covid happened......
In 2023 I became 55. I retired and joined my family. So much had gone on I just couldn't stay in the UK for even another single day as my family needed me. We're not rich but a simple life here is better than slogging away in the UK to tread water. My children will be able to buy their own home at a younger age. We have been living in this present house for a couple of years now. Saw the French police here for the first time about a month ago. It was for a missing person. I know my children are safe.
He isn't crap , my Villa mate is disappointed they sold him as he thought he could have potentially been pushing for the first team at some point
There is a reason why a terrible Sheff Utd are the only PL team to have shown serious interest in him in the last 5 years, and it probably isn’t ability
