Clearly something isn’t right at the club.

 

Whatever it is, the players will be aware of it. 

Morale must be in the gutter among our remaining squad from last season.

 

Hopefully one benefit of Bobby and Ayew is that they'll maybe bring some PL nous and mentality...

I’m not sure who’s buying players.

 

I see no point in us having Glover at the club, if the players we are buying are Premier League and feel like players we’ve been offered by agents.

we already had plenty of that though, what we needed was young talent that we could develop and sell again, return to the model that was working for us

I think this is a classic case of someone who thinks he is better than he is. 

You see that in his on field demeanour whenever we concede. Arms up and looking to blame everyone else. 

I actually think he is lucky he had a season in the Championship, because another season in the Premier League, I think he would have been found out, and quickly drop down the pecking order in most Premier League teams. 

He has his good moments, and plays with the confidence of a better player, but lacks in too many areas to be a top CB at this level IMO. 

However, this would not be good timing for us to lose our starting CB, despite this new development (if true) 

On the flip side, do we really want someone who will whinge and blame others when we are likely to be losing a lot of games this season. 

Maybe, Coady would be the better leader and positive influence we need in a relegation scrap, despite his own limitations. 

We must sign another CB if Faes does go though. So, I hope a decision is made quickly either way.

Absolutely nailed it

Coady's injuries last year and now have been absolutely, terribly, the worst luck. If he'd been able to integrate last year and play now, I think we'd be in a much better place.

 

The guy must be gutted.

[foxile5]

Get rid of him. 

 

He's been incredibly average in the premier League and wasn't our best center back last year.

 

We can't afford any attitudes on board this season if we're not to disgrace ourselves. 

 

Everton await you, Wout.

[NasPb]

Should be booed on every touch of the ball. Absolutely a disgrace of a player 

[Clogger_]

Mystified why many on here cannot see why Faes is country miles better than our other centre halves, and genuinely a good player?! I get it's a game of opinions, but...

 

If you partnered Daniel A. in the PL, you'd have to dive in a bit, no?

 

Not sure why Wout has become an easy scapegoat for some. He's clearly one of our very few assets.

He probably is but he seems to think he VDV level.

When he gets his head down and focuses and plays at his best, he can be very good. But nearly every game he has a complete brain fart which often leads to the opposition getting a chance. As i said previously, he got away with a lot last season because championship strikers are garbage. He won't get away with as many this season if he carries on with the stupidity.

Watch back the passage of play yesterday where Watkins gets played through and Hermandsen smothers the ball. I genuinely have no idea what goes through this man's head. Not a lot apparently!

 

The guy is a walking car crash at this level 

[whetstonefox]

Him and Winks appear to have a love hate relationship

Another post that I can’t work out whether it’s sarcastic or serious

[funkyrobot]

Left his man Onana for the free kick who then scored. Didn’t notice that at the time. Basic stuff Wout. Stay with your man rather than walking back into your area and getting a fabulous on-pitch view of the goal! 

[AKCJ]

He's a good player but prone to being a ****ing idiot.

 

I think we'll go to a 3 when Coady is proeprly fit.

 

Hermansen

Faes Coady Okoli

Justin Skipp Winks Kristiansen

Facundo Vardy Mavididi

 

Vestergaard, Ndidi, Fatawu, El Khannouss, Ricardo, Ayew, Edouard is a strong bench too.

[AjcW]

Not seen anyone with the ability to moan at others about his own mistakes since Kasper was here  

[Fox42]

Why were the crowd booing every time he got stuck in yesterday?

[ronnup]

Wooooooout

 

Not booooo

[Fox92]

Rubbish. Always has been.

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Enjoyed Winks having a go at him. Dozy twat.

Thanks - I did think this but after the rumours about him earlier this week, I wasn’t sure

At the moment I’d drop Wout for Vesty, it’s frustrating because the only reason he would get into this squad is because he’s faster than Vestergaard and Coady.

Nah Faes is our best defender by a considerable margin. He's the only one that I could see other Premier League level sides wanting to buy.

What an awful time, having to choose Faes or Vestergaard, good grief.

Is he? He's guaranteed to make at least one big error a game and when you watch the highlights yesterday, he's at fault for the first 3 Villa chances and hardly covers himself in glory on either goal. The only thing he has on the others is his ability to bring the ball out with pace but that's it. You could kind of forgive the mistakes if he actually dominated the attackers he's up against but he never truly does that.
