Old Fox

They won’t get ruined he has built a team spirit, he has the town behind him and he’s a top top tactician ! they have bought well and are not finished - undoubtedly they needed a few quality additions but at home they will surprise a few - greaves for example is a quality signing yet we went for an unproven Italian in okoli - i do not get it tbh - madness

Apart from Okoli, BCDR, Buananotte, Fatawu (now ours) and Golding you mean 😳

They must’ve seen something in him that I have not seen although LUFC fans are also up in arms so maybe he is a flat track bully. BHAFC do have a massive war chest to burn though as record profits two years running and lots of talent with resale value ……time will tell I guess the only thing I would be disappointed in if I was a BHA fan is why have they not had a proper go and keeping a few assets and try to break into the Top 6 or win a trophy?? Other than city, arsenal and Liverpool the rest are not that great hence Villa are potentially breaking in!!

I couldn’t have much more disdain for him - he’s in the same camp as Fofana and Chilwell - people may disagree but in his final season when we were relegated there were games where it just passed him by and whilst I recognise he was one of a number and had injuries he could have worked a lot harder - lost count of the times players ran past him and he made little or no effort to get back. Rant over - I am not sure I will forgive any of that squad as yes BR was an egotistical so and so but the players including those still with us can do one for me. i would love us to get our dna back that made us successful hard working, competitive and fast on the break !

Really? You don’t think we need a striker - you will be one of a small number that think this squad will be competitive

If you literally mean the replacement for sharkey who played little games last season and was still fantastic behind the scenes - we could have just signed him to another year …..if you mean to replace Albrighton at his peak then Ayew was never even close to Marc’s ability or impact - I cannot on all counts see why we spend a transfer fee on him - if he was free I could see it but otherwise a complete backward step …

Whoever we purchase up front will be a gamble - no one would have bet on Vardy achieving what he has similar to Toney - for me IF he is available for anything less than £15m we should be looking at him as alternatives will cost way more I expect £20m+ - every £m we can keep back means we can bring another player in and we need another 4 or 5 at least…..

Faes is definitely part of the dross at the back - few players over the years I have really disliked but he is one - get shot if anyone is willing to pay anything decent - he’s a liability

So we have two defenders and one midfielder who you believe can pass the ball forward ? No guarantee he picks two of them! My point here is that midfield is completely unprepared for the prem - balance in the team to pass forward is also under prepared - we have not scored a goal against Palermo, ausburg or lens and you think we have the right players - your deluded if you think without at least one if not two midfielders, a natural left back and attackers we will be completely blunt and then teams will pin us back and we do not have defenders who can keep a clean sheet !

Higher - he will get until Xmas and maybe then Jan window - he is working with both hands tied behind his back and the board will know that - an under whelming choice but he will be given time even if we are terrible ….

Pace and no one to pass it to them and no one who can finish but it’s a great outlet 😂😂

I don’t believe Rovers will sell him for less than £15m but we will see I guess

I am not sure what the infatuation is on here with him - he has not proven much tbh and personally Moyes would have been who I would have gone all out for as he knows how to keep teams up - even poor ones and we needed someone with a clear plan who could wheel and deal - we have gone the wrong way imo but time will tell!

He is a natural goal scorer and works hard closing down - if his goal contribution was above 10 and help kept us up it is more than worth the fee plus he is really motivated and like Vardy is blossoming in his peak years - no brainer despite what some believe as he will prove a lot of people wrong ! I would rather spend £9m on him and make sure we can afford two or three more which we need as a minimum !

They will if he is carp like VK and so they should

He really is that bad - offers nothing he can’t defend, no pace, not an attacking threat and he does have a high opinion of himself - way higher than his ability plus he does not want to be here ! we need to get shot and sign a proper left back

Absolute garbage - I have met him on a couple of occasions and he is a very nice guy - not a bad apple at all - he will be a great addition if we can persuade him to join us

Early in his career he moved to United and never settled so moving to Turkey did seem a strange move and hopefully a return to the UK would suit him - undoubtedly a motivated and fit Zaha even at 31 should add some creativity and threat

we will just need a defence and midfield then…….

Interestingly I feel for the two new lads you mentioned as the lot you refer too I hate more - promotion back does not repay the debt from relegation for me as the two past seasons has seen us fall so far and all the great work that was done in 16/17/18 …..just view but I would be glad to see the back of VK, Wout, Vesty, Ndidi as they never seem that bothered to me….the lack of prem talent and ability in this squad is sobering …….really sad and in hindsight apart from financially we may have benefited from a rebuild with the foundations better from another season in the championship…..us and saints will comeback down ….i have a feeling ITFC have the spirit and management to have a chance of staying up

Sadly it’s a reminder of how we have fallen Mendy was a squad player but would walk into our current team - the depth of the squad when he was here and the talent we had in our relegation season just makes me more angry and frustrated with BR and his self promotion clap trap as that squad should never have gone down. This squad is 100% going down …….shows how poor the championship is and the gap is huge …..we will sadly do a Burnley or Sheffield u down with a whimper but ITFC will put up a fight……just wish we had the players and team spirit to do likewise…

We do not have enough quality to play possession football in the prem so the plan has to be good at the back, ability mixed with hard work in midfield with pace as outlets and a goal scorer - we do not have any of it - I for one wanted ndidi signed but he has looked leggy, winks anonymous and Fatawu under cooked to name three who I though would be fine……we need some energy and legs with some quality…….the next week is pivotal as we are miles away from being competitive and I have been to all the games except today which I watched online and I have not got a clue what cooper is setting us up to do and granted he inherited a mini crisis but he is damn well not improving the situation

True

He is carp and no one will convince me otherwise he’s a liability who does not concentrate - not great on the ball, not big enough to dominate physically, not quick …..and Belgium frankly had way better players attacking wise so dominated possession but they were still carp too so do not see your point tbh

You can destroy youngsters in a team getting dicked every week and based upon Coopers tactics so far we will not be competitive as he has no Plan A let alone a Plan B
