Pretty sure i read someone describe all our new signings, apart from Amenda, as 'shit'Which of the new signings have people written off?
Where?Pretty sure i read someone describe all our new signings, apart from Amenda, as 'shit'
Played at CB for Atalanta didn't he?So Palace now have him and Tyrick Mitchell for LB. Either would have been great for us.
Well yes you would hope as he cost a fortune and seems to be well recognised in the broader football world as a talent. I want to be seeing some of that talent this season though, not just tearing up Charlton, Preston and co next season.
In this thread I think, yesterday perhapsPretty sure i read someone describe all our new signings, apart from Amenda, as 'shit'
Just been moaning about this. Some of this stuff I absolutely despise about the Premier League.That Chelsea deal for Ahanor stinks and should have been stopped.
And LBPlayed at CB for Atalanta didn't he?
worse than that, rules say you can not loan hm to another PL in the same window you brought him so it's not just the amount of loans rule, it's a this rule as well.Signed a pre contract for him so they can loan him to Palace as Palace already have a Chelsea loan. So he is classed as a loan from Atalanta.
Fair points Sparks. LW I'm actually not worried as I personally see Hadji as a better left sided forward vs. centre. And Cherif from what I hear is ok to play there as well. CM we have experience in Hamer, Onyeka (but he should never play 10 again) and Grimes. The question there is if Onyeka, Grimes have the pace required at this level.Is it judging to say we need a better LW Back up than BTA and some experience in midfield?
So what are we looking at?
Rushworth/Bentley/Wilson
MvE/KKH
Pinnock/Amenda/Mfuni*/Thomas
Bard/Dasilva
Onyeka/Grimes/Yirenkyi*/Torp
Rudoni/Hamer
EMC
Tchaouna/Sakamoto
Awoniyi/Cherif*/Wright/BTA
21+3 U21
Seems very light.
Lampard clearly sees Wright better down the middle.Fair points Sparks. LW I'm actually not worried as I personally see Hadji as a better left sided forward vs. centre.

LW we have EMC, Tchouana, Wright, Cherif and BTA who can all play there.
I think Mfuni is the cover at LB, and on LW there are options to play Cherif, Wright and even Hamer played there for Sheffield United but I agree it would have been better to get a specialist LB and/or LW signing to really push us onBrentford have just signed malik diouf LB from Westham a couple of days ago. They already play lewis potter there.
Rico Henry needs a new club why aren't we going after him. We seem to have a decent relationship with Brentford use it.
I don't want us to regret not making any moves in a months time as injuries always happen. We have signed a player in every position apart from LB and LW I just can't see frank being happy committing to a new contract then being happy with JDS at LB and not giving it a good go.
I'm not saying every player has to be 20M use the loan market there has to be a few players out of favour at certain clubs willing to potentially raise their stock playing with us in the prem.

We need a back up LW yes but that isn't going be what defines if we go up or down.
Also Lampard isn't stupid, Austin isn't Stupid and King isn't stupid and is the current system isn't working it will change. Remember that came in and try to play one way and it didn't work so set us up to stink out wins and we ended up in the play offs even though the usual suspects were talking of our impending relegation.
We will probably get relegated this year, so will Hull and Ipswich.
Hull will not be able to keep winning games, Ipswich unlessthey seriously fix their defence could be in big trouble as well.
I've heard good things about mfuni but only played a handful of games in the champ never mind the prem hopefully he rises to the challenge.I think Mfuni is the cover at LB, and on LW there are options to play Cherif, Wright and even Hamer played there for Sheffield United but I agree it would have been better to get a specialist LB and/or LW signing to really push us on

I mean he hasn’t invested that much more than burnleyI've heard good things about mfuni but only played a handful of games in the champ never mind the prem hopefully he rises to the challenge.
I don't mind the squad we have as doug has really invested more than Burnley ever did when they came up. My biggest fear is our tactics I know it's only been 2 games but we look so open and naive. Maybe being stung by hull will open Frank's eyes a little.
Sunderland stopped up effectively becoming hard to break down and grabbing a goal on the counter. If we persist with trying to control the play with less quality players than our opposition I fear we might be on the end of some big results.
We are 5th on the list in our first season back in the prem. Many of teams on this list would of had a couple years of YoYo so would of had parachute payments etc.I mean he hasn’t invested that much more than burnley
It had to be COVHull selling their match winner from Saturday further winds me up how inexplicable we were in allowing him to score.
Mate, have a break from the internet you are going to do yourself a mischiefIt had to be COV
Do they want to come to us? If they are free transfers they don't have to be signed buy the end of today.Bissouma and Malacia would be good pick ups.....
Some said that last year about our promotion prospects and new players.Let's face it... the hierarchy have splurged this summer but have the realisation that relegation is more likely. Hence keept hold of squad players rather then go gun-ho. See if there is any madness in the last few hours with incomings/outgoings but agree with alot of the above. Simms should have got a new contract or sold, Eccles won't touch the field this year so get rid, grimes should have been kept but as a starter should have been replaced. We just got to use what we have at the end of the day...
