TomBee Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) So we're competing for his signature with a manager renowned for getting one over us and who has also managed him in his best spell of form. Nothing in this.... Edited September 9, 2020 by TomBee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy365owl Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 With all talks of formations in this thread I was wondering if any team had ever played a formation to go man for man ? so if opposition was playing 4-4-2 you would do opposite so would play 2 defenders and four attackers and effectively when defending you would mark your opposite number . Not that I think its a good idea like just a slow day at work and thought someone on here might know the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDragonOwl Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Would be a great signing, although I have a feeling some of our fans would be on his back straight away to put across their argument that the chairman is spunking money again, as he 'has no idea how to run a football club'.

Well, we have spent sums of money this club has never seen before to make us worse than when we started the process, driven a coach and horses through the league's financial regulations and earned the first points penalty in our history which threatens to get us relegated. Not a great football administrator CV is it? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it didnt last long He was so explosive off the mark he kept twanging his hamstring. Michael Owen had the same problem. I'll never forget that season when he scored twice before half-time in the first match against Burnley then his hamstring went again and he missed most of the season. We could do with a striker with a scoring rate of 1 every 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be DC has learnt his lesson and actually targetted just one major signing with his transfer funds to not break FFP. Or is that just to much to ask ??

shezzas left peg Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 2 hours ago, 83owl said: Yeah I agree they will always have a core of players who they deem not good enough for PL. Depends if those players want to play or are happy to sit on their contracts for a year or two. Hence the first part I said bud and those sort of players would be what we're after. The younger 20/24 year olds still out to make a name for themselves, hungry and not wanting to sit on there backsides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But so far, there's little to distinguish it from us having little money to spend for one reason or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Zohore & Murphy or similar and I'd feel a lot more hopeful about our chances this season and in the future 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Apolon Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 IF we sign him, it does potentially show a change in approach to signing good age players with sell on value A lot of variables to that statement mind! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
