^^ Ah those were the days

tippspur · 01-09-2014 10:58pm

No more incomings then.

mushykeogh · 01-09-2014 11:36pm

The outlook is bleak. We need Soldado to be a goalscoring freak and Poch to be a managerial genius.

irishmover · 01-09-2014 11:43pm

Sandro... Sandro... SANDROOOOO...

(In an MGS snake has died voice)

Can't believe he's gone.

End of the best midfield we've had in years.

Really hope Poch knows what he's doing.

This welbeck thing is funny. All the arsenal fans saying how good a signing he is but if we signed him I guarantee they'd be laughing.

one of the worst windows ever. Shocking.

still left with lennon / townsend / paulinho / soldado / rose / naughton etc etc

poch seems to think he is very happy with the squad - maybe thats because he is a mid table thinking manager - he has never worked with players as good as these because he has never managed a top club or gotten a club to the top level ???

Glebee · 02-09-2014 8:29am

All will be revealed by Christmas. Well probally do ok against the weaker sides but cant see us posing problems for top 5 teams.

Jaysus...take a deep breath there lad. Let the manager work with the players, he's only been in the job five minutes. Maybe said players didn't want to leave, just like Dawson before.

No one is thrilled, we've the slowest cb paring, our strikers are patchy at best. Still, there's a decent squad in there somewhere.

Im not sure that there is . Dembele is gone so backwards , it would be tough to sell him. Chadli / eriksen are inconsistent

I can see us getting destroyed again this season by the big teams

Dembele has looked well off the boil, and that was before the WC. At 27 it's a make or break season. To be fair to Chadli he's not really played much, could go either way? Eriksen has to do it against the top four. And your right, they all need to do it on a consistent level.

Even though I hurl abuse at certain players, the newer players should be given some lee way, new manager yada, yada. Rodgers had a pretty poor start at Pool. And for the most part they look pretty threatening again this season, without Suarez.

Getting hockeyed by them again put the kibosh on the previous result. It's gonna be a long season though, and were only three games in. Strachan was raving about Pochettino, he transformed that Southampton side in a short spell. Long term outlook is good if you ask me.

lets hope so - im just worried that he is out of his depth but as you say time will tell

golfball37 · 02-09-2014 9:58am

The bottom 12 in the EPL are all beatable and your playing for 72 points from these fixtures. if we win 95% of these games we'll have every chance to make 4th.
I agree we're not good enough against the big teams but we don't need to beat them this season to get where we want to be.

yes take 8th but i still think we can get higher, everton and man u are not that much better than us

the premiership is all about pooch seeing what the players are like and let him decide next summer what he wants to keep and let go

go all out to win the europa league, guaranteed cl place

If we finish 8th the season would be a massive failure. AVB and Sherwood were far better than that. We should be finishing 6th anything less is a failure anything more is a bonus.

Obviously I'd prefer to win the Europa. I don't view them as mutually exclusive. Our squad should not be finishing below 6th in the league.

man u ?

mata / falcao / di maria / rooney / van persie / shaw ......

Just watched the interview with Stambouli at the training ground. If he can perform as well as he can speak English then we're in for a treat.

Good to see a young foreign guy join the club and not have language as an instant barrier.

Seemed like a good vibe coming from him. Maybe it could be a masterstroke getting 11m for Sandro and signing this lad for 5m.

Really not sure If I'm ready for another year of Row Z Townsend and road runner Lennon again.

I thought Sandro went for 6m?

news flash chaps…. in the 22years of the premiership (when football changed) we have finished 4th twice, and 5th four times. This is when we have been at our very best and we still weren't good enough. we are where we are 8th-5th, maybe an odd season scraping to a 4th spot. This shall remain as long as enic are in charge because profits are up and that all that matters… its business. Theres no point in getting upset about this, just accept it as fact. We should purposely try and win cups because we haven't got the billions to win leagues, and I would rather be bouncing around wembley or some other staid celebrating a cup win that finish 4th and struggle to get to a group stage of CL.
