We laugh now but as you know she would only have a bath in full snorkle gear, i turned my back for for a moment and she had made toilet in the bath, using it like a toy boat she was and to this day I have no idea where she got the flag to go in it from, or where it went Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel Fessi Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Scary to think when I watched us vs Middlesborough twice last season how much better they were than us, totally out played us in all areas of the game - now they're struggling in the PL and will likely be relegated back down to the Championship. Strange to comprehend that even though we've probably gotten a little bit better, if we were to play next weekend i'm sure the result would still be the same. If we go up we would have to spend a considerable amount of money or we'd go straight back down again, can't escape that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakefieldowl Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Bloody hell, we've got three nerve wracking games just to get in play offs and the op is buying a whole new squad and management team. Save your thread for another 2 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashamanic Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 It's hard to tell if a player is good enough for the Premier League when they are doing well with us. Hooper wasn't good enough for Norwich last year, and they were relegated. Then again, maybe they got that wrong - their team over all is not as good as ours. Similar story with Fletcher at Sunderland and Jones, Reach at Boro and Jones at Burnley. Also Foresestiri and Abdi at Watford, though they weren't shipped off asap following promotion, and Watford are significantly better than those other teams. Sure,. if we go up, we can strengthen all over by bringing in 5-6 15million pound players, but I don;t know that would be wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 FF didn't play a premiership game for Watford Abdi played virtually the entire premier season - and did well Abdi is definitely a premier quality player In the right system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate him as a player, a bloke and a Man, but he's not a premier league striker. Sorry. A bloke and a man? Que? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish it wasn't but it is. Roy of the rovers never existed. Think your stance is a bit short sighted - we've got a few young players who've not hit their prime and several peak players who still want to prove a point. As long as the majority stepped up to the plate, all would be okay. No doubt we would need to improve and add in some areas, but your view that there would need to be a complete overhaul is, in my opinion, unsubstantiated!

The number of clean sheets over the last couple of seasons supports that. You can change the individuals for supposedly better players, but you're going to sacrifice some of the cohesion and understanding. As an example, many would probably say Hutch is a better centre half than Loovens, but Loovens/Lees just seems to work. Woukd be a nice problem to have though! I beg to differ but our defence is nowhere near good enough in the prem. There is an incredible lack of pace and despite both hunt and pudil playing better recently I still don't think we have a decent full back at the club. If we do go up I would have loved us to sign Cahill this summer but think that's v unlikely now with John terry having being released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can still go pear shaped from here. Never take anything for granted. Anyone remember a defeat in the FA cup final in virtually the last moment of the game?

I hate talk of "building a team around a player", but if you had to play a system and line-up that best suited Abdi and the team, what would it have been?
