Stevosevic Posted 9 August 2018 Posted 9 August 2018 (edited) We wouldn't make him our highest paid player. This isn't happening Edited 9 August 2018 by Stevosevic
lcfc278 Posted 9 August 2018 Posted 9 August 2018 1 hour ago, Clever Fox said: He was good for us in our title season. He was never even as good as James before his injury and only really got his chance after that. Kante beside him made him look better than he was. Yes he got into the England squad but I'd say that had more to do with politics than anything. Yet, that didn't last either no more than his stint at Chelsea. He was found out long before his injury there. Anyone who thinks he could replace Choudhury in the team is deluded and he's not even the finished article yet. But believe what you will. The Kante argument is valid but Drinkwater still made the assists and key passes for the majority of our goals that season and he only got into the squad because of politics?? You think people who think Drinkwater is better than Choudhury are deluded? Wow i think its the other way round. He looks a prospect but that is a bold statement. I'll have some of whatever you're smoking mate. 4
Tuna Posted 9 August 2018 Posted 9 August 2018 (edited) Interesting to see where he does go today, if it's not us. Edited 9 August 2018 by Tuna
norwichfox Posted 9 August 2018 Posted 9 August 2018 Would prefer that we recall Barnes, I really don't want to see DD back here, he couldn't get away quick enough, no loyalty due to him afaic, too much cost in wages, we'll need another treatment table and physiotherapist to cope with his "injuries"...let the fooker move abroad as far away from here as possible.

Some good signings but getting them all to gel quickly, could be difficult and their fans will be ready to turn as soon as it takes a dip. Decent move for Drinky. Not sure why he wants to go abroad if he can stay in the Prem

Can see this happening if we lose Maddison to an injury. We still haven't addressed the issue of being reliant on one player to create things for us. I was hoping we would do that by signing a top, creative RW, but we got Rachid instead... 2
Popular Post v6rat Posted 9 August 2018 Popular Post Posted 9 August 2018 I'd rather we invested time and money into improving Choudhury who has great potential, than spending anything on Drinkwater who has already peaked and is only going one way. 5

Yeah I agree. His second spell would fade in comparison to the first. He won’t hit those heights again
Blue ROI Posted 9 August 2018 Posted 9 August 2018 Not all that keen as much as I remember his time with us fondly. Do we even need him with the midfielders we currently have? Not to mention the importance in getting rid of deadwood too.
Buzzell Posted 9 August 2018 Posted 9 August 2018 Don’t need him. We already have too many options in midfield.
Tielemans63 Posted 9 August 2018 Posted 9 August 2018 Why is this even a thing? He ain't coming back.

STUHILL Posted 9 August 2018 Posted 9 August 2018 If any truth in us being after him, then must be because Puel doesn't rate Silva in that DCM role alongside N'didi. I imagine this is just lazy paper talk though. Don't think he would want to come back here anyway.
Old Fox Posted 9 August 2018 Posted 9 August 2018 25 minutes ago, chapero82 said: Sadly, do not believe this is happening... Would be a great signing as he is really motivated to prove a point and has learned for a second time that the bigger clubs don't always treat their players as well as clubs like us do. DD would be a huge addition as we could easily let King, Iborra, James, Mendy go or be loaned out as we would have options with Silva, DD, Hamza alongside Ndidi - for me he would walk straight back into our team as he is better than all of our options except Ndidi.

FoxinNotts Posted 9 August 2018 Posted 9 August 2018 I’d like DD back. Take out the ‘deadwood’, those out of favour and the injury nightmare players, and you could be left with five centre mid options of Ndidi, Silva, Drinkwater, Iborra and Choudhury - pretty fvcking good imo
Crispin LA Posted 9 August 2018 Posted 9 August 2018 Never go back, as the old saying goes, never is the same second time round, his last year with us were awful
