SuperSAINT Posted 12 July, 2018 Share Posted 12 July, 2018 Decent signing I think, like the look of him, and would have happily taken him at Saints. Same here mate. Chelsea always worth a look at in terms of un-used talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 12 July, 2018 Share Posted 12 July, 2018 Should get his pay off though and he'll get plenty of job offers. They were trying to force him out without paying off his contract, hoping he'd jump ship, so fair play to him sticking it out and forcing their hand.

Lighthouse Posted 12 July, 2018 Share Posted 12 July, 2018 Fulham join Zinchenko hunt. He's the sort of player I'd be looking at to replace Boufal. Promising young midfielder who can't get into a top 6 side. On another topic, Andy Carroll has supposedly ruptured his ACL, so we're just waiting for Wilshere and Sturridge to complete the holy trinity.

I am not a fan of the way football is these days. Those that spend the most win. If you have a problem you go out and buy a ready made replacement. What happens to bringing players on through from lower leagues or your own academies? I guess we aren't really that different from others, just not with such a record transfer.

Between 7th - 20th it certainly not as easy as whoever spends the most wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that's nonsense. If you go back and watch the Saint Etienne game, we were very poor first half (I actually suggested selling VVD to get some attacking talent). Things changed when both teams made loads of changes second half and we scored with nearly every shot during a small purple patch. But that's it. Sevilla was a borefest where we created little and Jack Stephens scored from a lucky set piece. And who can forget Augsburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly can’t come to any judgements to be honest, other than wondering how much a big win against a pub team really prepares them. I think that was the season before, the Burley/Gorman/Dodd/Pearson season. Players like Euell and Licka scoring about 4 each, such pointless games. If I am right, we went through all that and lost our opening game 4-1 at home to Palace, when it turned out having no defenders in the squad doesn't mean you win every game 5-4.

Early games will be everyone getting game time, the latter games will be a better indication. Performances give an indication, yes. But I don't think the actual results tell you much. I'll make a prediction - Everton will get off to a superb start, Silva will be lauded, and it will go tits up by Christmas. If Silva can, this time around, sustain a team's performances for more than a handful of months then I am happy for this to be quoted and for me to eat my hat. On a slightly related note, has anyone seen Watford's new home kit?? Awful IMO, doesn't suit them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
