It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Looby blue]

Been watching too much online smut, everytime I see this thread title my mind auto corrects thread to hole.

Seen so many say we need more in the squad. After S Gomez I think we’re set, certainly until Jan.

Agree. Unless there is a surprise departure, I think the squad is set.

As I understand it, the lad was only on £85.00 a week and luncheon vouchers when he first signed.

;-)

Do they still do Luncheon Vouchers. I remember getting them back in the 70’s when I first started work

Apparently they still exist!

I can't imagine you're able to get 50p vouchers nowadays though!

Personally I still think we need another Left Back & a replacement for Sterling, that's assuming Bernardo stays. If he does indeed leave, make that three.

Dude we are not replacing Raz. It’s Cole and Alvarez. Don’t have your hopes up for a replacement. I do hope we get another left back though, but personally think we are done

Or perhaps it's because he has largely been shite....

For me any player in a Pep team in our system contributes and is a 7/10 if assists or scores 8/10 just because to play in a pep system all the cogs have to work…

Do what I’ve done, learn to judge after two seasons. Otherwise a number of our very good players would be written off. He’s played in a much better team, in a different position being asked to play completely differently. Has never had an overlapping full back to help when he’s forward so he only has his cut in and pass backwards on. Love him to be more direct and I hope it will come this season. If not then yeah we can judge. He was great against West Ham and was huge in the second goal, pulling numerous players out of position to allow Kdb the time to pick the perfect pass out. Didn’t get a goal or assist so the people with hard ons for stats will claim he was shit. Football though isn’t it, opinions but I think for many the 100m good looking lad who enjoys himself outside of football will never do enough for many, maybe not you but an awful lot of the balding old men who I witnessed nearly popping veins screaming at him at the community shield after every touch. For them it will never matter what he does unfortunately.

So he now needs 2 years. FFS, it was 1 year. Now 2...

You don’t rate him, that’s fine but you don’t have to reply to every post making your point

Mate, if it was up to me that's what I'd do & it's what I want the club to do. However I'm not the club, so they'll do as they see fit.

Yes Palmer maybe part of the solution, or he may need a season or two to settle like Foden did & we've got enough wing cover in the meantime. Personally I'd prefer a Sterling replacement & another first team left back.
