Wymsey Posted 21 March 2018 Share Posted 21 March 2018 (edited) Heard that he has looked at the potential - but seems quite likely to be now - new training ground site at the old Park Hill Golf Club location recently.

Exactly. Our best chance of progression IMO is to be appealing to young players that want to play and not getting a game at other clubs. Think of some of the players Chelsea let go as they couldn't get in the side. Salah, De Bruyne, Lukaku etc. With the money in the game and the pressure on managers to bring instant results that's unlikely to change and there will be a few gems we need to look appealing to. Having a reputation for giving young players a chance is a great thing to have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlcfcbevo85 Posted 22 March 2018 Share Posted 22 March 2018 The problem we have is being clinical. Releaisticly we 2 players that are likely to score 1 of them will leave in the summer mahrez. We can't score from corners anymore and rarely we get the odd goal from a free kick. Huge investment is needed maybe a : GK back up worthy to put pressure on KS RB to challenge Simpson LB I think chillwe'll will be amazing just not yet A out and out CAM ; try to get odegArd on loan from real Madrid A replacement for mahrez : maybe Thorgan hazard And I think we should try and get a striker aswel not sure who I'm thinking Danny ings but fitness is a worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desirability doesn't have a huge factor to be honest, maybe this new training ground will help but fact is London clubs and Manchester Clubs have a far greater appeal. If we get into Europe and expand our stadium that would help as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer it if he actually focused on winning games. 8 wins in 21 PL games is pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Bournemouth, we've got the fewest wins in the top 10, and we're tied with Burnley for most draws as well. I suppose it's fine, and obviously things could be a lot worse, but I find Puel such an uninspiring figure and I genuinely enjoy watching our club less than I did. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have a game in hand over both Everton and Bournemouth (a win will put us equal with them both Everton and Burnley on wins). You enjoy our club less now than when? I certainly enjoy it less than 2015/16, for example. Edited 22 March 2018 by Beechey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hugely disappointed after 15/16 when we couldn't attract top end players, I thought we'd broken into the top 6, possibly top 4 but it couldn't have been further from the truth. It was quite depressing when you have pundits saying our win was a freak and will never happen again. As a football fan you have to have faith, faith that we'll win the league, win the cup, be a top 4/6 club, without the faith it's not the same. It's quite clear our club has a problem attracting top players due to location, stadium, facilities, wages, reputation, style of play. I'm happy that owners/manager are trying to change those things to bring us a chance of those things i mentioned, Puel is trying to change our style of play, he's trying to give our young players a chance, what do you think he should be doing? Carry on playing on the counter with all players from 15/16? It couldn't continue, something had to change, our performances were bound to dip as a result 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 23 March 2018 Share Posted 23 March 2018 (edited) We lost all direction after winning the league. There were good players available and we didn't sign them. Timo Werner went to newly promoted Leipzig that summer for £8.5mil. Exactly the kind of player we should've been in for, and beforehand, quite plausibly would've been.

It isn't like he really attacks either, he just presses forward until challenged then passes it off. We need goal scorers at both LB and RB. We need to bring in one of each, and let Chilwell and Amartey battle for the spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
