Re: Rumour - Jack Tucker

All gone quiet on the pressing need for a LB.It always amazes me when everything is left to the last minute; only the really well structured clubs seem to get their business done early. As usual we will be doing a lot of who blinks first,and last minute loan deals.Feel sorry for TMc.Likely he has be...

Re: Euro 2020

But that was against a Czech side that were, supposedly, the weakest team in the group They beat us in qualifiers :wink: I get what you’re saying but doesn’t mean they played awfully - let’s not forget you’re comparing a £42 million striker against Lyndon Dykes Although I do think Clarke made an er...

Re: Earliest WC memory

Vaguely remember seeing the 62 Chile WC highlights;but mainly the 66 WC for me.Went to the Portugal game,where Charlton scored the whizzer.Missed the Final as my Dad got all the timings wrong and we were travelling back from holiday.The 1970 defeat against West Germany is definitely one of the worst...

Re: Interesting.Is Nelson Oliveira really available?

Did ok with AEK as lone striker but would work well as a lone or in partnership with any of our strikers. Would love for this to happen, but was on approx £25k with AEK. Kia will get him in to the club who can offer him one final payday on a good 3/4yr deal. Iirc he was quite selfish and didn't lin...

Interesting.Is Nelson Oliveira really available?

I thought Oliveira looked a class act when he was with us,and is apparently available.He is 29,and would be an excellent acquisition.Touch of a much younger Cavani about him;however would he sign for say £20 k a week,or is this sort of money beyond us ?But hey ho Baldock who was on similar money has...

Re: Importance of tactics.

As England manager he’s basically done what any manager of England should be able to do given the talent available. Have you forgotten 2018? Our best World Cup performance since 1990 despite what was seen as a pretty weak squad? Nobody was expecting us to get to the semi-finals that year. He follow...

Re: Importance of tactics.

Once upon a time . Well thanks Westwood52 , and there was me just thinking that Man City lost the game because the CB just didn’t do his job !

Importance of tactics.

This weeks two European finals,emphasised how vital the correct tactics and the right coaching are at the highest level. In the United game a vastly inferior Villarreal were able to drag down a star studded United attack into a cul de sac.Fernandez was never in the game,Pogba disappeared after half ...

Re: Best and worst of 20/21season.

Don't know about best and worst but I'm watching the Huddersfield playoff final being rerun on Sky. Jesus, forget just how bad it was watching Stamball. How did we ever survive 90 minutes of watching this crap let alone finish third. You can actually see that how easily it went wrong for Stam once ...

Re: Meite as good as Percy Freeman

Look I like Meite;but what the hell would he be doing in the Prem.Still if he is going to be paid silly money,and we receive silly money;then what the hell.
