Wow. Are you suggesting it's ok for Non English players but not ok for English players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 31 December 2018 Share Posted 31 December 2018 West Ham have signed former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri - on the day he completes a doping ban. The 31-year-old Frenchman has been without a club since 31 January, after leaving Turkish club Antalyaspor. Nasri, who has signed a deal until the end of the season, served an 18-month doping ban for using an intravenous drip treatment but is available to play again from 1 January. He won two Premier League titles and the League Cup in six years with City. "Coming back to the most competitive league in the world, with a team full of ambition with a manager that I know.... it's the best job in the world, and I'm really excited about it," said Nasri.

What is it with their scouting? It's like they just sign players from other premier league clubs, presumably in the absence of their own ideas. Fabianski. Ayew. Arnoutavic. Hart. Fonte. Snodgrass. The man city old geezer Argentine defender whose name escapes me as I write. Now nasri. Can't they be arsed to go find their own players? Does any other premier team consist of as many ex premier players?

Edited to add that Man Utd Mexican too I read something not long ago that basically said that West Ham does not actually have an active scouting system. They rely on a network of two or three agents to sign players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 1 January 2019 Share Posted 1 January 2019 Spread of games over next 3 days is bizarre, why not just put them all today or tomorrow? 3 today, 6 tomorrow and 1 Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t hate him and I said he was a decent footballer. His behaviour however in recent times is entirely twatish in my opinion. You are definitely an old head. Most of that crap is on Mourinho who is a dinosaur. Also if you are getting all caught up on goal celebrations you obviously should worry about worse because when he scores against Leicester you will have to deal with seeing it again. And he is not a twat, you just don't understand him. A lot of people don't. Edited 1 January 2019 by TheHitman™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 1 January 2019 Share Posted 1 January 2019 Congrats on the win today. Awful touch from Keane, excellent finish from Vardy. Everton seem to be going downhill with the odd good performance thrown in randomly. Can't see them finishing anywhere near 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they had so many games on Sunday and clubs need three days to recover (although we weren't given that luxury in the past two years). One game at 3pm on a public holiday, three in total, is appalling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact worse in defence I'd say and tbh it looked pretty comfortable for you guys . We had this sort of run last season which led to Silva's sacking .

With four games in 10 days (if the fixtures were all played at the original time), recovery is key. Then you've got to factor travelling into it. Everton were poor today but they've had a long trip to Brighton and are playing 68 hours later, it is asking a lot. We've had it in the past two years- we had four in eight days last year and a trip to Middlesbrough 45 hours after a Saturday match two years ago. The likes of Chelsea have had home games spaced out and London derbies and Watford away. More thought needs to go into the schedule at this time of year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
