Are we going to finish behind Leicester again?
SiAre we going to finish behind Leicester again?
Why complicate football so much? Just sign good players. We tried for Zaha anyway and they wanted 100M.I think we need a serious rethink on transfer policy about signing foreign talent vs talent already playing in British football. We tend to be like "he plays for Newcastle he's ****, not good enough for Arsenal", clearly we're very wrong. It's what works very well for Liverpool and for Leicester.
Changed my vote to 5/6th because I've realised that Emery is probably a bum.
Think it will be tight but impossible to fancy us over Chelsea and Leicester at the moment, while Sp**s still have more than enough quality and experience to turn their dip around.
They gassed in the 2nd half against Leicester too but the mix of youth and quality that they have probably breeds inconsistencies. I just think if/when they get it together and add to it they’re gonna be a real problemChelsea were blowing a 2-0 lead at home to Sheffield Utd and celebrating a loss to Liverpool not long ago. Wouldn't be going overboard on them just yet.
This forum has been celebrating losses and draws to City, Utd and Sp**s since Emery got here.Chelsea were blowing a 2-0 lead at home to Sheffield Utd and celebrating a loss to Liverpool not long ago. Wouldn't be going overboard on them just yet.
Sp**s are done. Poch has lost the dressing room a long time ago.Think Sp**s have maxed themselves out tbh. Vertonghen, Alderweirweld and Rose are well past their best, Sissoko is their most solid right back........still haven’t replaced Moussa Dembele (Dier is garbage and I’m really not sold on winks) Ndombele is promising but hasn’t set the world alight. Son is their main man imo but there’s better sides than them right now for top 4
None of that is true.This forum has been celebrating losses and draws to City, Utd and Sp**s since Emery got here.
Emery got credit for parking the bus at home to City while we were losing. Got credit for losing to Liverpool this season, credit for not beating Sp**s at home, credit for not beating the worst Utd team in 30 years etc.
I never lie mate.None of that is true.
People bring up Liverpool, but Fabinho, Allison, Salah, Matip are foreign signings, Trent was youth, Henderson and Milner were pre Klopp . It’s only Mane, Wijnaldum, Robertson and Van Dijk who were signed within the PL from Klopp. 3/4 of those are superb players.
It has nothing to do with PL or foreign signings, it’s about quality signings.
Liverpool signed them because they were the best options, not because they were British based.You just listed 4 of their very best players. Why were we not going after any of them? Surely we could've outbid Pool. Imagine if we got Van Dijk.
Liverpool signed them because they were the best options, not because they were British based.
Why didn’t we sign them? Who knows.
Also, why speak about the 4 good signings and not the bad signings like Downing, Carrol, Benteke, Clyde, Lovren, Mignolet...

I'll tell you. It's because of a foreign bias. The scouts focus their efforts on foreign leagues, and the fans scuff at UK based players. I could go through many examples where we signed fringe foreign players where we could've got similar players from the premier league for a similar price.
