  1. I think the simple fact is we offered him what we could. A team in Europe that is far more prestigious than us offered him more. But hey, maybe we could have sold the club to a middle east country and then paid him 200k per week 🤔
  2. Has he really had two strikers. Proper strikers. Playing crooks alongside archer would have been seen as a midfielder up front. In fact, he played archer and chuba together (chuba considers himself a striker). Now we are playing a striker with a playmaker number 10.
  3. If we have two strikers at the club, both fit and both cost 5m+, I'd be having them both on the pitch. It's not illegal to play two strikers
  4. Let's hope Ellis simms didn't big up sunderland too much when he and cannon were both at Everton
  5. It may pan out to be a good deal for Southampton, but right now, with the amount of football he's played, that sounds like a mad price.
  6. I'd personally rather lath alongside cannon. Both with the instruction that theh need to drop off to help the midfield when necessary. I know the tactics thing is used to much but I would love us to revert back to the Bryan robson 4-3-1-2 (or 4-diamond-2). We have plenty than can play that 1, a proper dcm in the middle of the 3 to protect the defense. Some will have it and it probably doesn't work for some of our players but it gives attackers a partner, players licence to go forward and the defence a helping hand from midfield. Biggest problem, the players need to be exceptio
  7. Can't see him starting. If they think they are getting 6m + for him surely he'll be taken out of the dlsquad
  8. It does appear by the runours that the most important need is the one we are spending least time on. I'd love cannon but would much rather spend 8m on a cdm and miss out on a striker than the other way around
  9. Completely agree, but based on previous windows, even more likely that they all come to nothing 😁. Just tempering expectations.
  10. Similar to when we had friend and husband at left back. All we needed yo complete the squad was two right backs call fiancee and live-in-lover 😁
  11. He'd just become the new "jonny" or "grant" 😁
  12. We also need to be able to stop the opposition scoring, and having 2 defensively weak cms doesn't help one bit. Especially when your rb is a centre half and your left back is poor. West brom was our first game where we actually had a LB and a rb. Unfortunately the rb isn't great and got sent off, and we still had zero defensive cover from the middle.
  13. I mean if we are completely tactically inept then yes. "I know we are set up as a back 5 lads, but when they have the ball let's push the wingbacks up the field"
  14. It doesn't need to be 5-3-2 though 5-2-2-1 pretty much becomes 3-4-3 with the ball and 5-4-1 without it.
  15. I think I agree. Jones played his best football at wingback and engel looks prime for that position. Hackney and a dcm, then lath with any two of Rogers, silvera, mcgree and forss in behind. Looks more solid with actual width and players getting in the box from deep. Again, won't happen though
  16. Apparently he wouldn't be adding aerial prowess if he came here. About the size of juninho!!
  17. Also, Everton have their new striker. May free up cannon for wherever he is heading
  18. It's not a rumour as such, but my mate who is a spurs fan recons Harvey White is leaving and says its a level above last year. He was at Derby but didn't pull up any trees. He's apparently going to sign a new contract and then be loaned out. He's a dcm that can play leftback apparently. I've never heard of him but suppose it could be one we are looking at.
  19. Did he write pounds where he meant to write pence??
  20. Can you buy these? I've just Googled them but nothing. Can't find them in amazon either.
  21. Challenge for what is the question. Top half? Top 6? Top 2? Simple fact is we need to find 50 goals that were lost from last season and we seriously need to stop shipping goals. We may well have found 30 in lath, Rogers and silvera. But we look like conceding even more than last season. A solid rb and more importantly a covering midfielder is an absolute must
  22. Here's some food for thought...... Everyone is now seemingly thinking that the same old crap put out by us is not to be believed.....can't believe a word the club say......same thing is said every year and we get no-one. Yet everyone seems to believe the stuff about we are not relying on loans as much anymore. I am starting to think something in between. No more permanent signings. 3 loans, 1 of which will be a starter. And by Christmas everyone will have forgotten about the chuba money, or be happy that Gibson is "running the club better now" and that's where the
  23. Welcome to season 12 of "Drifted, this time we really tried though. Honestly"
