now the new season has begun in earnest here is the new current season link
Just one Cornetto give it to me a special winger from the ivory he jinx he pass he scoreeees a goalo thats our Cornetto from the Ivoryyyyyyyyyy:-)
Fab/Coufal/Zouma/Oggy...or Dawson/Cressy/Rice/Soucek/Bowen/Fornals/Lanzini/Antonio
Gosh after all the summer transfer nonsense it looks like we will start with the same old West Ham side as last season good to see a traditionalist like Moyes fighting the waves of change.
Seriously though Scamacca not matchfit Cornet if passes his medical before 12pm today he would be available for the citeh game but we all know Moyes doesn't do that he likes to bed players in slowly...Downes bench at best Aguerd injured.
Citeh/Forest/Brighton/Villa/Spuds/Chelski....and throw in Viborg in the Conference league playoff inbetween......
Moyes may get away with Citeh match because as it stands i cannot see us getting anything other than a proper spanking in that game(i hope to be proved wrong bigtime)and he may just get away with that one but against Forest he most definetly will not and he will be judged Harshly if we lose.
Seasons not started and a doom and gloom scenario awaits ffs give our boys a chance Bikey you say and i do and i so want them to do well but can anyone look me straight in the eye and say you have not had the same thoughts?.
Our squad even with Aguerd/Downes/Scamacca/Cornet needs more we all know it and if we do get stuffed Sunday and following week against Forest we lose you can bet your bottom dollar Alarm bells will be ringing in the boardroom and signings whether moyes approves or not will be made and you see then just how quick deals can be done and if Moyes does not like it then mr toasty is waiting in the wings to take charge.
Sometimes i get really peed off with our club and how they act and today is one of those days.......week or so back rumours were the Gooners wanted Bowen...just rumours and he's not for sale anyway and today for no reason whatsoever we find the club have put a price tag of £75million on his head to deter clubs from making an approach.....why? by putting a price on his head you basically saying yeah he is available if you have the money and yet again we shoot ourselves in the foot.
Now whilst not naive and every player has there price what kind of message does this send out to others at the club especially to Rice.....they want to keep him they want to challenge for champions league place they want to build a team around him well if you start selling our best players or price tagging them it is never going to happen in my lifetime or any of the younger fans of the clubs lifetime ever.
Again big club big stadium we can compete with the big boys ha! do me a favour we are what we always will be a decent football club that will upset the applecart every now and then and once the goings good we cash in on our players...Rio/Fatboy/Joe cole/Johnson/Macavennie/TC......nothing will ever change...Rice will go Bowen will follow Scamacca if he hits the ground running as well.
So just one question what will the club say if the barcodes come in with the £75million what then eh? mug ourselves off all the time its bloody annoying.....a simple he is not for sale at any price should be the answer an England international an outstanding talent and we just hang a price tag on to deter others lol....ok rant over just get really annoyed with how we do things at times...and dont get me started on a loan deal for Cornet ffs if you want him buy him its £17.5 million not £70million ffs.
Kostic is not interested in joining us but Moyes still hopes to change his mind by as is rumoured offering him a major hike on what he is currently earning mmmm has he not learned from Lingard farce a player coming just for the money is not a player any club really needs is it.
So if Moyes wakes up and smells the roses he now begrudginly moves on to his next target Cornet from Burnley which will please a certain mr 65 oh yes i keep my eye on you boys and see that you do not get over excited:-)but anyhoo this player has a 17.5million release clause in his contract by todays standards chicken feed and yet we go in and ask to loan him not a low ball offer even nope a loan you have to laugh.
sell out crowds europe a stadium we moved to to compete with the big boys but for us big boys is Forest Brighton Palace and co.Traore available for £10million Cornet for £17.5 million two players prem experienced cost under £30million and the certainly wont be on wages akin to Yarmalenko or what we would of paid Lingard,Our squad would be better our bench stronger but unfortunately for us Moyes does take to long to make a decision.
as the saying goes "you dont always get what you want" but to keep hitting your head repeatedly against a brickwall seems something our manager is happy to keep doing.
That is where our European adventure will begin so which of the giants do you want Viborg fc or B36 Torshavn? nope me neither not a scooby
Thoroughly deserved & I've thoroughly enjoyed this tournament,proud of every one of these girls! Thank god it didn't go to penalties!!lol
With 7 days remaining until the start of the season. Are we in a better position as a team/squad or worse position than when the season ended in May?
To date we have added 3 new additions to last season. Not including Areola. Defensively we are surely worse off. Though we added Aguerd he is a non runner. The left back position is a massive problem. We lost 2 in midfield and added 1. Yes we added a much needed striker. We have got no natural cover for Bowen with Yarma going. For me we need major input asap and quality to boot.
anyone else watch our Under 19's batter the spuds under 19's in the Prem league next Gen cup final on spuds own patch its a tremendous watch we look lightyears ahead of that lot poor old Defoe must be thinking what have i done! COYI as i type this its 78mins gone we are 7-0 up luv it....another trophy spuds dont need to worry about.
Fabs or Areola?....i have to say great servant that he has been to our club i do not feel as safe with the ball coming into the area as i once did with Fab....he dropped a few clangers last season his kicking not the best either so i think a role reversal is best here let Fab have the cups and europe and make Areola our GK for the prem.
