Guido Carrillo - Official: Free Transfer to Elche

[hackedoff]

Any chance of Klopp being made aware of this goal scoring phenomenon at large on the continent ?

[Viking Saint]

The club didn't want to admit their mistake so rather than sack him, they spent the most in our history on a failure.

 

In hindsight, the whole situation was bizarre to put it politely. A manager who was obviously chronically out of his depth gets backed with a record signing who in due course gets shipped out on loan with scarcely chance to prove himself

[Toon Saint]

This is how I see it, without knowing any other facts other than what we can all see from the way we played and the results. You've got to look at Palace and see how decisive they were with FdB. 4 league games, where the players didn't buy into his methods, and he was gone. I suppose one could look at it and think it was the "honourable" thing to do to support the manager, but of course that was plainly the wrong thing.

 

But I do think that we were in a somewhat different situation than Palace. The owner who was in place when he was appointed didn't have a huge amount of interest in anything other than selling the club. I know that it is easy to blame Reed for all the ills that have recently happened, but I very much suspect (again without knowing anything that went on behind the scenes) that he had a hand tied behind his back and was told to work within a very strict budget. I presume Pellegrino was a cheap option.

 

I don’t know whether Reed had his hands tied or not but there was definitely a massive sense of drift. It took forever for the club to make a decision on Puel’s sacking, and our transfer activity was left very late and was clearly not enough. It did feel like everything was put on the back-burner until the ownership was resolved.

 

Given the takeover was complete before the season started that doesn’t explain why we took quite so long to sack Pellegrino though!

I would say that the donkey proved himself.

Another goal today. That’s 2 in 3 games now.

 

We are cursed.

 

Carrillo will be the "bring him back" forum trend by October.

Has the La Liga season started already then?

The more he scores, the better chance we have of selling him for a decent fee.

[woodsaint]

You just know he will score more than Austin, Gabbi and Long combined this season

[Ashby Saint]

Strange one. I never felt that we gave him a chance. I had imagined that we would give him a full offseason before dumping him. He must have been awful in training.

[saint77]

Another 2 goals tonight could of had 4 but for 2 good saves by the keeper

[doddisalegend]

So what's that five goals in four games? WTF

Yep, Leganes start at Bilbao on Monday

[angelman]

Monday week.

 

But good that he is banging them in.

[Pamplemousse]

Proves that La Liga isn't a very high standard.

 

If he scores against Barca or Real Madrid then fair enough.

[John Boy Saint]

Pretty much everyone in La Liga is cannon fodder for the Castilians and Catalans.

I agree, maybe we should've given him a chance.

Just like the country should give Corbyn a chance.

Sounds like a good idea. Couldn't do any worse than the current shower have got us in.

Starts against Bilbao tonight.

[InvictaSaint]

Didn’t score; subbed on 85. Leganes heading for a 1-1 draw.

Lost to an injury time goal as it happens.

‘There’s their striker; just make you sure you track his run towards our goal whilst you’re going towards their goal’

‘Genius plan boss’

[Pilchards]

‘There’s my ex wife in the crowd and I want you to slice a shot right in her face.’

’But Guv, my aiming is not great?’

Pellegrino ’Just aim for the centre of the goal and I promise you it should do the job.’

[InvictaSaint]

Carillo played the full 90 in a 2-2 home draw with Real Sociedad last night, but didn’t score.

[Nordic Saint]

The reason why he'll never make it in the Premier League is his lack of pace. In a slower-paced league he might be OK.

[danjosaint]

You mean like Austin, Gabbi, Jwp, Romeu, Hojberg, Stephens, Vestergaard and Hoedt

[stevy777_x]

And he had a good game, and played well in his first game for them as well.

Football is all about efficiency. If we’re losing 2-1, the priority is to defend and avoid making it 3-1.

Sounds like MoPe doing his best David Brent

[Gorgiesaint]

Just scored a penalty in the Bernabeu to draw Leganes level at 1-1 with Real Madrid. Charlie Austin out . Bale got the opener.

Hope he keeps it up. Seemed a decent lad and not his fault Les screwed up abysmally with Pellegrino (again). Might enhance the chance of at least recouping a bit of the money we paid.

[Pamplemousse]

We did alright against the bigger teams under Pellegrino, he's an expert of setting up teams to not get beat. Unfortunately, he used that tactic against teams we really should've been beating.

Still didn't beat any.

[angelman]

I'm sure Pellegrino is a perfectly good manager. Sometimes the glove just doesn't fit, and it didn't with us. I am not sure you would find anyone saying we would have survived last season with him. Carrillo is interesting. Maybe after he bangs in 20 goals this season, he can come and do a job for us.

Fair enough then?

[angelman]

I think open play rather than a penalty. Anyway, Real are now 4-1 up

[St Chalet]

I'm sure Pellegrino is a perfectly good manager.

 

Based on?

[Lord Duckhunter]

To be fair to the guy, he tucked it away nicely.

I'd rather have him than Austin... Save a few Bob on wages as well!
