Re: UEFA Europa League 2023-24

Didn't know where to post this but I believe that if 2 English club get through to the semis of either Europa or CL and 1 gets to a final, the point system will allow us an extra CL place but also depends on German team success (bldy complicated). This means that there will be 8 places for European...

So then don't sell anyone who is likely to feature and deal with it all in the summer would be my point.

Re: January transfer window

I'll be glad when Fornals leaves. Yes he scored some important goals but fortunately we now have JWP taking all corners and free kicks. For some reason Fornals could barely reach the near post when taking a corner and barely up to waist height. Honestly he was the worse we have ever had taking corn...

Re: January transfer window

PL matchday squad is 20 players. EL matchday squad is 22. Our official site lists 24 players in our 1st team squad. Areola, Fab, Anang, Coufal, Johnson, Emerson, Cresswell, Zouma, Aguerd, Mavropanos, Ogbonna, Soucek, JWP, Alvarez, Phillips, Bowen, Kudus, Benrahma, Fornals, Paqueta, Cornet, Antonio, ...

Re: January transfer window

I never expect much out of a winter transfer window especially when we're in a decent place in the league. It's par for the course that we never seem to get in the players we want to really kick on and go for it. As usual it's kick the can down the road for certain positions and pray and hope for a...

Re: January transfer window

This isn't actually true though, is it? Before his current injury he'd been available for practically every game for the previous 2 seasons. This myth of his hamstrings is massively over egged. 48 out of 57 22/23 47 out of 56 21/22 Fair. I was mostly talking about this season. Although he may have ...

Re: January transfer window

If you're genuinely saying we should be attracting a player of Paqueta's level to cover him while injured for a few games so there is no drop off in quality then you probably have some very, very unrealistic expectations. I'm not, and I never did. I'm saying that we should have a PL quality player ...

Re: January transfer window

A 19 year old Ghanian... a 20 year old from the Championship... a 23 year old from the Championship... a 24 year old who has only had success in Scotland at a club level... NONE of them will be the same as Paqueta and probably still behind Cornet in the pecking order. If we're genuinely saying that...

Re: January transfer window

The fact that you've named a large number of scenario's should we need to change kinda makes a point. We have lots of options. That you don't rate them is another point. But you can't have them around but not consider them. It's not feasible. I named 2 scenarios. If, and I repeat, if, we sell SB an...

Re: January transfer window

MD_HM is right. The abuse Fornals, Ings, Cornet and Benrahma get in match threads for basically being sh*t and stealing a living as professional footballers is constant yet come January and there is no one better available in world football to replace any of them :rofl: But, from my perspective at ...

Re: January transfer window

Whether Bowen is a CF or RW is not really the point. Let's say he's a CF. The best we have. The one we'll pick every game. Great. So now, if he gets injured, we're relying on Antonio having legs that week, Ings being vaguely capable, or Mubama stepping up. If Kudus gets injured and we can't move Bow...

Re: January transfer window

Paqueta - Bowen - Kudus Has been exceptional, if it isn't broke don't fix it. Agreed. However it was only a couple of weeks back that Paq and Bowen were injured, with Kudus away and that line became: Benrahma - Ings - Fornals (with only Cornet and Mubama on the bench too) If we let Benny and Pablo ...

Re: January transfer window

Can’t see how us having a game on Thursday stops incoming transfer activity. Steidten, Newman, Noble and the Directors won’t be playing and getting a couple of players in has to be prioritised over a comfy seat at the Bowl to watch the Bournemouth game. As long as Moyes has approved the player noth...

Re: January transfer window

Our squad is too thin (assuming Fornals and Benrahma leave). I'm talking both quality and quantity. We need 2 players per position, especially while we're in Europe. GK - Areola / Fab RB - Coufal / Johnson LB - Emerson / Cresswell CB1 - Zouma / Ogbonna CB2 - Aguerd / Mavropanos CM1 - Alvarez / ?? CM...

Seen him play live 5 times and every time he has been awful. Was torn apart by Dagenham last time I saw him. Keep hearing we're looking to offload.

Do you think he’s helped his West Ham recall case?
He's never coming back. Southampton have a purchase option on him. It was "try before you buy" for them. We just wanted rid.
