I've just read a transcript of snodgrass' glowing review of his experience at West Ham. Says that he played his best scoring and creating as either a number 10 or on the right
Yet according to him slav insisted on playing on the left in payet's position
Pretty damning. He was just one of those who came to West Ham in decent form and withered under slav.
And he wasn't any better when he did play on the right.
And lacking morale fibres
And lacking the will to win
And
That ado donkay that ado
Too little time now to get a new manager in and secure his targets before the window closes, so, if they are thinking seriously about getting rid of Bilic, I think they'll keep that cash to make available to a new managr in January or next summer.
It's kinda chicken and egg though, because if they don't spend the cash on Carvalho then it's much more likely they'll replace Bilic; if they'd have signed him pre-season there might not even be talk of Bilic going.
Psg signing neymar for £200mil and getting Mbappe on loan to buy for £166mil
City spent over £200mil
United £150mil
Liveprool have spent £40mil but have had a bid accepted fro Keita and maybe Lear
Whereas we have spent £40mil (recouping £30mil of it) yet can't seem to push some moves across
Just wish we could go back a couple years and change so that the Abu Dhabi group bought us instead of city
It's not that we won't pay the money it's the way the deal is structured that SL are being difficult about and if we don't have enough to pay at the initial signing then we've probably not got enough cash on hand
He in the last few seasons has become very injury prone...
so getting quality in is one thing leaving it this late after the shower of the last 3
games is a joke , if he new he needed this type of player which its clear we do then why leave it this late again .
Yes I do think we have a decent team it just needs coaching watching the Newcastle game i found it hard to believe we had any sort of game plan .
And taking Rice off at half time was a stupid thing to do to the kids confidence
imo .
If we believe SB when he said we would replace anyone who leaves, we must be looking at a wide player to replace Snodgrass. With Feghouli also being sold, we are very light on the wings (particularly risky when you consider Arnie's temperament and Antonio's muscle-testing style of play), and I think it's fair to say Fernandes is not the answer out wide.
Ayew and Arnie broke the club transfer record.
We agreed a fee for Bacca last year, but he wouldn't join us.
Our comparative transfer spend has been posted on a number of occasions, but you ignore that.
I don't see the point.
Leicester paid 34m for a striker last season are we not a bigger club than them.
Net spend is what i look at we had payet money from january or at least half of it
we got 120m and net spend is about 36m very poor when you look at other teams around us .
Are we a bigger club than Leicester? Define "bigger". Have we ever won the Premier league?
