[Special Juan 28,140]

Carney going is absolute pathetic, he's one who is going to be superb

This board are useless cunts

I expect he'll be good at Milan, but after that we'll see.

Yeah sell him who looked promising and buy this over the road Hall. 

Breaks lines, works well in tight spaces. Really useful player and wasn't looking for a major role in the team either. 

Fuckall roster formation.

Carney going would indeed be tragic. He’s another who I’d prefer to see in the team than Gallagher.

Holy hell, the Leicester fans on their forum really, REALLY don’t want Casadei back. They’re all saying he was dogshit and completely out of his depth when he was there last season.

To be fair I'm not a fan either, that's mainly based on games I watched him play for the 21s.

No but all it was talked about, particularly with Nkunku. Before he arrived everyone had him shoehorned into their first 11s playing him as a CF….

Suppose doesn’t mean much but if this Guiu isn’t an actual CF and is another flexible attacking player who doesn’t particularly excel in one set position, who cares if he could play CF? Be another needless signing in that case.

 

And KDH? Are people really seeing this as a good move? Fuck sake. He is much much much lower level than Gallagher. In all honesty, similar sort of signing to Steve Sidwell back in the day to me, pointless. But again people will get excited because he had a good season in the Championship, aged 26. We are in for an absolute horrendous season if this is the calibre of players we are going after. Cannot wait.

 

KDH may, or may not, turn out to be any more effective than Sidwell but it's clear from just the eye test that he is far more talented than our former player was.

He’d be better than KDH thats for sure.

This is a sign that the ownership and football crowd are just here to turn a profit without being competitive.

He isn’t an upgrade on anyone we have in midfield though so it really is a pointless move. Even Gallagher, who splits fan opinions. 

I mean can someone explain why we are signing him? Or at least give a footballing reason bar the fact he worked with the manager last season? I mean for a supposed elite level club this cannot be the only criteria or reason.

If him and Tosin are the standard of players we are going after now for improvements to the first 11 then Maresca is doomed from the beginning. And thats without considering that his appointment still leaves a lot more questions than answers.

We need 4 top established players in key positions to strengthen this team, GK, CB, LW, CF. Not squad players. These sporting directors have literally got no idea. At all. 

Plus after the wank fest around signing the likes of Casadei, Santos, Lavia, Ugochuwku as well… plus Carney who looks like he can contribute. KDH seems an absolute waste of money based on numbers in midfield positions alone. Not dame players but still lot of bodies on the books. Clear some of these guys out first be it loans/sales and prioritise the other positions 👍

Guess I’ll remain one of the few who think KDH is a good signing and a clear as day upgrade on Gallagher. Has the same work rate and tenacity that CG does but is miles better using the ball. 

For me he is very Kovacic-like in that he’s highly press resistant, an awesome carrier of the ball, and gets stuck in when needed. But unlike Kova, KDH has actually shown to be highly decisive in the final third.

My own opinion on Connor is unchanged since I formed it when he was a youth team player but I have to admit that he has done much better than I thought he would when I said back then that I did not think he was Chelsea level. (Mind you our level has dropped a fair bit since then.)

There is no way KDH can match Connor's love for the club but if he is, in effect, to replace Connor in the squad he will have to offer huge effort, energy, and commitment. After that we'll see.

[TheHulk 2,482]

Maresca better have a very good game plan and tactics because so far he is pushing for his championship player and giving second chances to plumbers like Sanchez.

Add Chalobah, Broja and maybe Gallagher.

22m add ons already included for Hutch is tragic. We would be paying 50m+ if it was the other way round. But I have long lost all hope we will ever have a smart transfer strategy under this ownership. Kieran Mehsbury Hall who is older and has worse PL stats than Conor...

Carney, ok he might be perma damaged after 2 big  and 4 smaller injuries but could have been a decent squad player who looked quality whenever he stepped onto the pitch. Also one of the few who can play midfield and winger as a right footer, still only 20

22m with addons included and Arsenal also get a percentage of this. Another crap deal from Clownlake.

 

[We Hate Scouse 10,327]

Arsenal fans seem to think it's 50% 😳

[Pizy 18,952]

I see one of our nearest rivals United are going for Ugarte and De Ligt. Two players who were hyped up as soon to be superstars and then flopped at their new clubs. People complain about us not going for “big names,” but it isn’t always necessary. I would be happy if they waste money on those two than get actual top class ones.

That seems to be the case with most, if not all, American owners in football. Kroneke, Gillett, etc.
