If a team loses because of an over emphasis on youth they get no understanding from their supporters , they want a winning team. Results do matter more than the future......if you're a plastic fan.

Guest SO1 Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 Signings don't exist until I see them standing with the shirt on the official website...other than that its just entertainment to get me to the next season. Can't think of a reason the club would jeopardize deals in progress in order to satisfy the endless hunger for grist for the mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning is 90% of football , in truth if you can win with style that is a bonus but victory is fundamental and not in two years time but now. Managers who build for the future often get the sack .

So your not happy with us finishing 5th two seasons in a row with 21 days break in between in the middle of a pandemic? Not enough for you given our finances?..............That's enough for me.

OhYesNdidi Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 2 hours ago, UHDrive said: Castagna is an experienced international at 24. Soyuncu is an experienced international. Our weak link was Luke Thomas and to a degree Fofana, but fofana played with a level of maturity for most of the season. You can't blame it all on youth. One of our major problems was defending set peices and corners and needing more height in the team. I'd say one experienced CB is enough although Burnley can do one if they want to over price Tarkowski out. Then we have RP and JJ coming back. All is not as bad as it looks, particularly in the future. Soyuncu is far less predictable and seems to be more likely to make a defensive mistake than Fofana despite being 25.

My original point was that lack of experience probably meant that we conceded more goals than we should have done. It was a disappointment to miss out on the champions league two years running and our injuries were exceptional but naivety also played a part.

You will notice though that I do not rubbish other peoples views because I think they are all valid. The forum would be boring if we all agreed with each other on everything.

It was a disappointment to miss out on the champions league two years running and our injuries were exceptional but naivety also played a part. I'm not that disappointed. With younger players there's always going to be a bit of inexperience that rears its ugly head occasionally. I'm willing to live with that given the club culture of taking young players with talent and coaching them to improve and if they reach a certain standard selling them on. That's why I've followed Rodgers since Liverpool because his MO is basically getting players and clubs to punch above their weight. Using what clubs have not what supporters would like them to buy. It can become frustrating at times but for me its better than following Chelsea or United. Much more interesting to watch things grow and evolve. Supporters will do what they want. Its their state of mind. and the post match thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 It’s just nonsense - Madrid with €60m can have their pick of excellent CB’s from all over Europe they aren’t spending that on a 20 y o who isn’t yet the finished item to replace varane …. maybe in two or three years …… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
