  1. There are already 2 threads discussing whether Carrick should or shouldn’t leave/get sacked, so let’s just hypothetically assume it’s summer and we’re still in the same position sentiment wise and he goes. Any ideas who we would get in? Personally my choice with limited knowledge (and if he’s even available) would be Liam Rosenior. But I guess that would depend how he gets on and/or enjoys working in France. Not really sold on Rob Edwards who I know would probably be a favourite. As a potential Dark horse maybe Cifuentes at QPR, hasn’t set the world alight maybe but he has turned them around. Be interesting to see some names I haven’t thought of yet.
  2. Yep that virgin media ad is a nightmare, makes typing lag so bad, as in 5-10 seconds for the letter I’m typing to appear. Have to close it about 3 times for it to go and obviously multiple attempts to close it result in you clicking the ad not the cross.
  3. I imagine Silveras fee included add ons just as every other deal we do does, I’d be surprised if we even paid over £500k for him. Nobody ever mentions add ONS when talking about our failed transfers, same with Hoppe.

    Carrick

    Carrick talked about Conway possibly playing as second striker and tried him there a few times, he mentioned Whittaker being able to play there and he already has been, Iheanacho will be played there at some point also I guarantee it.

    Carrick

    The Leicester fans, seemed unanimous on there that his worst games were as a lone striker and he was always better playing with Vardy.
  7. I thought Whittaker looked pretty bright when we were on top, played a big part in a lot of our attacks, there was a couple of times he should have just got a shot away but he passed instead though. He just faded like the rest of them.

    He’s more of a #10 that can play striker tbh
  9. Didn’t they try this before and it was scrapped as quick as it happened?

    The worse thing is it feels like we could get anyone in and the same mistakes would still happen. I wanna be excited about these signings but im not sure we’ll see the best of them or that anything will change.
  11. Thats partly true though tbf, of course it can be judged when you see what we ended up with when the window shuts yea. But what can’t really be judged is the intent from the club and the people making the decisions, unless they say it in public. The whole transfer world is just way to secretive and obscure to ever fully know what we did right and what we did wrong. Going off the quotes from the Bratislava DoF I’d say we clearly thought we were getting Strelec in, I think even CrazyL on here seemed confident in what he’d heard that strelec was on his way here. And that’s where it gets impossible to judge, were we shafted by Bratislava/the player/his agent? Or did we mess something up which caused it to fall through? We will never know, so while yes we failed to get a striker in to replace Lath which is a failure of the window. But was it our fault? If it’s not our fault is it still a failure? Thats basically my point that on the surface we failed to fill certain positions, but that’s the only way we as fans can judge it, to use it to make a judgement on the club/recruitment team isn’t fair unless we know all the details. Just as an example if that journo never mentioned we’d bid for Jacob Wright, or the move for Morton wasn’t mentioned it would have looked like we didn’t bother trying to get a cm in when we clearly did. The one way we can judge them is to look at things as a whole rather than just who we got through the door. We needed a GK, CB, LB, CM, Striker. We got 2/3 (depending how you see iheanacho playing), but we clearly tried for a CM and the striker. The only true question mark is there was no seeming attempt to get a CB apart from some tenuous link to that Plymouth CB.
  12. Morris booking was very soft, at no point should he have been sent off in that game. I do think if they didn’t have Le Fe it would have been a different game though. Everything went through him at some point of an attack and we couldn’t deal with him.
  13. We don’t seem to press with any meaningful numbers till the middle 3rd
  14. At the end of the day we always need to remember Gibson is a fan aswell, he wants the same thing we do. He would be sat with his head in his hands like the rest of us if there were no cameras around.
  15. Morris seems to have a bit of a license to push forward which I don’t really like tbh. It’s as if once we get into the opposition half any of our players can go where ever they want. It’s great in theory but in practice we often lose the ball easily and half the team is out of position.
