Big Ron fan Posted 21 June, 2012 Share Posted 21 June, 2012 I'm hoping it's Clarence Seedorfs My thoughts too. Would be a good match for us and the sort of new challenge he'd probably appreciate. Would £25k a week do it though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 21 June, 2012 Share Posted 21 June, 2012 I assume he'll play on the right up at Citeh on the opening day. Well, he's about as tall as one of the Wright-Phillips brothers, so presumably he's quite quick. Kolarov is a bit sluggish so I reckon that's not a bad idea.

RinNY Posted 21 June, 2012 Share Posted 21 June, 2012 Mathieu Flamini (AC Milan) is now a free agent after failing to agree a new deal. For those who remember, he was a terrific central holding midfielder for Arsenal for several seasons, and also did an excellent job filling in a left back when needed. Never quite hit it off at Milan: had some injury issues, & couldn't displace Gattuso from the starting line-up (no shame in that!). He's still only 28, and I think he'd be a fantastic signing if we could get him: two out of him, Moran, & Cork in CM would give us great options in that area.

MOSaint Posted 21 June, 2012 Share Posted 21 June, 2012 West Ham had by far the strongest squad in the championship on paper last season, ours overachieved. The current West Ham squad also has more PL experience so it's not hard to see West Ham doing better than us next season. Saying that, I think we'll strengthen in the right places and have a good shot at a comfortable, if not spectacular season (14th-15th). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great record at Bolton, decent record at Blackburn and was sacked when Newcastle were 11th, The following season they were relegated, then got West Ham up at the first attempt. He might be a bit of a tw*t and not play football that is easy on the eye but it's effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli Posted 22 June, 2012 Share Posted 22 June, 2012 Why do people have to get so personal when someone xpresses an opinion? Personally, I agree that he has a decent record as a manager but he is still an idiot. In managerial terms he is a dinosaur like Harry redknapp. Knows how to win games and (despite his spending at WHU) can manage on a budget but has no respect for fans and this will eventually prove his downfall.

Saint_John Posted 22 June, 2012 Share Posted 22 June, 2012 Our form was worse than West ham and Readings. I hope we strengthen considerably and I am sure we will! From the 1st March, which I count as the start of the run-in :- Saints 8w-2d-3l = average 2.0 pts per game which is close to our average over the whole season (and close to NA record at Saints). Hoof-Ball Sam - 6w-7d-1l = aver of 1.78 pts per game. Reading record was 11-1-2 = 2.42 ppg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO! He is an idiot but he's done well at every club he's been at. Even at Newcastle they were 11th when he left because this wasnt good enough for the geordies, the following season they went down.

IMHO! I'm surprised that you have a view that he is a dinosaur, after all, wasn't he one of the earlier managers to embrace sports science and technology. Yes, his sides maybe play football that isn't too pleasing on the eye at times but he has openly admitted in the past that he sets up his teams according to their strengths and I couldn't really see that he did much wrong at West Ham (as an outsider looking in) other than he was possibly more negative than he needed to be on occasions. As TDD and Turkish said, very decent record at Premier League level with limited resources at the clubs he has managed. I think people are confusing themselves mainly with Sam Allardyce coming across as a bit arrogant and forthright in his interviews but that has never made anyone a poor manager.

They got battered by alot of teams that couldn't finish and/or they were just clinical. I think it was Brighton that took them to the cleaners for reading tomwin 1-0? It will be very interesting to see how they fair in the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
