He did put the first nail in his coffin getting beat from the dykes shot, no keeper is covered in glory getting beat from that angle through the legs. It does happen though, I definitely saw Randolph make worse mistakes for us and he did for West Ham very recently against Celtic Link to post Share on other sites

Wildschut didn't even look that lightweight either. For me, watching the highlights, my first thought was is his end product good enough with Van Bergen. Wildschut was exactly the type of signing we should be making for me He wasn't exactly bad for us and we sold him for what we paid, then he realised his potential at Wigan and they sold him for 10x the money (£7m) Van Bergen has much more pedigree than Wildschut did when we signed him as well so exciting times imo 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,900 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I think Van Bergen could be a good acquisition. He is definitely quick and as @Smogzilla pointed out above he does appear comfortable using either foot. The pace of him and Jones either side of Ikpeazu or Sporar could cause havoc for the opposition defenders 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Jones is wafer thin but that didn't seem to stop him mugging that defender before his assist on Wednesday night Physical attributes only make up a portion of the overall player, its important but gone are the days where every team has to be based on a bunch of brutes. I know NW like his players to be physical and tall etc. but it shouldn't be what makes a player in my opinion. Jones has been unreal so far. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I don't think any of the wingers we have signed/are signing are better than either kebano or bolasie (happy to be proved wrong by the dutch lad). We've basically replaced those two very good championship wingers with unknown quantities so I'm not sure why people are getting carried away (again). 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It's because they don't have a permanent downer on the team solely because they don't like the manager. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

We only had those two for 5 months to be fair, they weren't even ours to replace. They were a short term fix that due to injuries didn't even really have their desired effect 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And yet this place will go hysterical every time we lose like it did during the week whereas I was calm and measured in my response. There's nothing wrong with managing your expectations. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But yet again I get jumped on immedaitely for being negative when I'm just being realistic. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Uwe 3,543 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 If people are going to argue the correct way to react to a victory/defeat could you please use the phrases “Rose tinted, delusional or bed wetters “ like the footballing gods intended 😊 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
