Be amazed if he's not in the high teens again. I would stake a tenner on him bagging 20+ again. If our more positive approach and the likely service he will get from Youri and Madders materialises rather than him being frozen out and isolated like he was for a large part of last season then he could even be up there challenging for the golden boot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemunky Posted 31 July 2019 Share Posted 31 July 2019 Stats shmats! I'll take the intangibles over them any day. Can you measure a Hamza tackle? What about Albrighton's heart or Vardy's balls? No, I didn't think so! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but sometimes the top sides make rash decisions mid season and although interim managers then usually take over I could envisage a few of the top 6 needing a new manager in the next season and he will do well for us this season.

From what i've seen. Not sure if you're on a wind-up here, but most Milan fans didn't want him sold, and can't understand why they didn't get more money for him. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/thrown-wolves-ac-milan-fans-16655060.amp Edited 31 July 2019 by The Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a single season thing and he's been pissed on this type of thing for a while now. Wouldn't be surprised if he left at any point tbh. Man Utd should have gone all out to get him .

They’re top heavy on wages and don’t have Champions League income at the moment - and isn’t there still a debt to service from the takeover?

If he can score ~30 goals in ~60 games under Puel it’s not out of the question he could get over 25 next season. He really is an elite striker.

I’d be amazed if Rodgers would eject himself at all this season. He’ll know leaving within a year / without a full season looks bad, plus I’m sure he feels he has a great project underway here. You might point to his departure from Celtic as a counterpoint, but that was a different scenario. I don’t see him leaving this or next season - it’ll be the third, after we’ve won the FA Cup and had an amazing run to the Europa League Final that he moves on... to Real Madrid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we don’t fully know how the WBS deal payments have been structured. Ultimately the owners are looking to make a regular profit from the club, so it’s not a money no object situation.

Please no. Maybe I'm wrong. He seems like a guy with his feet in the here and now. Always looking to build something special until you give him a reason to look elsewhere. Like Celtic.

UniFox21 Posted 1 August 2019 Share Posted 1 August 2019 Villa having spent £133 million is a big gamble, a complete overhaul isn't always what you need to stay up and as Fulham showed it can be disastrous. Sheffield United haven't spent too much but that seems to be on a player or two and you wonder if they've added enough depth to the squad to cope. Same goes with Norwich who have spent basically nothing. It'll be interesting to see how all 3 cope in the league. I wouldn't be surprised if all went down again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
