Fair point but I highly doubt a player is going to look at the table and think "oh, they finished 13th last Season, if they'd of finished 12th I would definitely join them!"..

"Pace and power" = most overrated attributes in football Fabregas, David Silva, Mata etc have no pace and no power yet they are top class footballers. I will cry if we sign another speed merchant like Musa again. Football's obsession with pace gets on my tits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think players will see we finished 12th and it looks respectable. 13th and lower looks like you've been in a relegation battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he was at his best in Hannover, Kevin Trapp, Bernd Leno, Andre Ter Stegen and Timo Horn are all ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ffs to put King James on the bench is taking the piss Why? King has filled in well when given the chance and I'd like to see James be given a chance after a long injury and run of games to be given another opportunity. He was ahead of Drinkwater not so long ago and he's proved everyone wrong, can't see why James can't do the same. Suppose it's easier to write players off and spunk money up the wall on players like Mendy who are certainly no upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you advocate giving James a chance but also call Mendy 'no upgrade' after only 4 league appearances. Oh the irony. A decent pre season for James, Mendy, Kaputska and Lawrence etc is what's needed and then we will just have to rely on Shakespeare and his team to make a judgement.

My point is that Mendy cost us a fair amount of money yet looks to be no upgrade on James. I'd still give Mendy a chance, I'm not writing him off completely and hopefully he comes good if he's still here next season. Maybe I'm just not over his Millwall performance yet.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 30 March 2017 Share Posted 30 March 2017 I'd be happy to keep Zieler but as he's showing frustration with those comments (understandably so) I'm not so sure he will settle for being the no.2. I feel he is capable of being a no.1 goalkeeper, I do still rate Zieler. I know his connection with the back line isn't overly strong, but he is capable of pulling out some top saves. It must be difficult for him in a way; he's being compared to Schmeichel who is one of the best keepers in the Premier League. Perhaps our estimation of what classifies as a good enough goalkeeper is high, which is understable when he is being compared to Schmeichel.

brucey Posted 30 March 2017 Share Posted 30 March 2017 I thought Zieler looked decent enough when he joined, made some nice saves, but this article from a while back concerns me. I know we were shit then, but there is such a vast difference in our 2 keepers even though they both were interchanging frequently over that shit period. Even for a no.2 those figures are worrying. If we can get someone half decent that's happy to be no.2 I won't be opposed to him leaving.. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/10684357/premier-league-goalkeepers-ranked-by-goals-they-should-have-conceded-according-to-opta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see what kind of players we can actually attract here this season - obviously we're not in the same position as last year, but our ambition is certainly still there. Hopefully Shakey gets a bit of cash to splash, especially if Mahrez leaves. He's so so crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always seemed to put a shift in. Only just turned 28. Replacement for Okazaki in the false striker/no.10 role? As you said contract up in the summer, so available on a free. Would be a steal IMO.

TheHitman™ Posted 31 March 2017 Share Posted 31 March 2017 Kagawa wouldn't be unrealistic but I think he would try to aim higher if he was to move on. I could see him going to one of the Milan sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
