I've seen very little from this team in the past nine months or so to give me the confidence that we're going to "walk" anyone. Ugh such a grim memory. We could tell something was horribly wrong based on that one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think it's the same, we'd just spent the summer getting battered by european clubs and we'd lost arguably our most important player, in hindsight we were unprepared for facing a defensive side like hull. Going into west brom soyuncu, tielemans and castagne have all played well in the internationals, the rest of the team had a good warmup against lower quality opposition and i dont think west brom have the defensive grit to cause us any problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 10 September 2020 Share Posted 10 September 2020 (edited) I think by the time the window closes, we'll have got all our targets in. Problem is the first 4 games. We have to win at least 6 points from them, ideally 9, in order not to collapse again. The team is mentally weak.

Chrysalis Posted 10 September 2020 Share Posted 10 September 2020 On 05/09/2020 at 20:36, Ric Flair said: if finances were indeed really tight, we'd not have splurged £21.5m on a full back with just a year on his contract. As always he's been a long term target and we were in a position to get him for a price we deemed sensible (not sensible if very skint). There will be movement next week, at least 1 more in and then a couple more by the close of the window. Well not long before we sold a player for more than double that, so its actually a net intake of money rather than spending. I would be very surprised if we have a net spend.

Quite similar then, we're without Evans, Ricardo and Madison. On the plus side we have Amartey back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban fox Posted 10 September 2020 Share Posted 10 September 2020 If what we are reading from the french press is true and Fofana is on his way aside from the haggling over the final details of the deal then this thread title is starting to look a bit silly now.

The way some fans react you'd think Mike Ashley owns the club.

Popular Post Sooper Steve's shin Posted 30 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 30 September 2020 Going backwards through this thread makes you realise how fickle, reactionary and emotionally brittle football fans are. From a disastrous situation with relegation ahead to one of our best ever transfer windows (when two of the signings haven’t played and one hasn’t even formally been announced) and a possible title challenge in the space of a couple of weeks! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
