LeePhilpottsBaldSpot Posted 16 August Share Posted 16 August 1 hour ago, Wortho said: We have one fit striker and he’s played about 20 minutes in pre season. How many batterings do we have to take before you come to your senses? More batterings than the 0 we've currently had. Also that one fit striker cost £6m and is a young player with loads of potential - exactly the sort of profile our fans seem desperate for. He should be supported, not left to play in a toxic atmosphere. As I said, we have problems. I'd just rather enjoy football and support my club than act like a petulant child about not signing somebody a Twitter 'journalist' randomly linked us to because they're good on Fifa. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this whining after winning the league and adding five players who were top flight regulars last season (Okoli, Decordova and Buononatte, as well as the returning Soumare and Kristiansen), as well as adding two great young talents (Fatawu and England youth captain Golding). Appreciate we've got problems going into the new season but the amount of toys going out of the pram is embarrassing. Although I know your response to what I'm going to say is bound to "it's only pre season" the toys being thrown out of the pram are being done so because of how we've looked in our games so far under Cooper. We have created very, very little and have looked extremely poor going forward. Couple that with that fact that we only have 1 fit striker and for once I can see why the reaction of many can be forgiven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subjective. I think it's a good thing that we've lost unmotivated and/or old players and added 5 who played regular top flight football last season (Buononatte, Decordova, Okoli, Soumare and Kristiansen) and 2 exciting young talents (Fatawu and Golding). I get people being underwhelmed (and I certainly hope we do some more business before the window closes), but the reaction of many seems disproportionate.

You lost me at Soumare - surely you don't see that as being a positive in any way, shape or form? He doesn't want to be here and he's lazy, certainly not what we need for another relegation scrap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Okoli played reg top flight football last season, and was relegated. Soumare and VK are, in YOUR own words "dross." Golding has played a handful of senior minutes and two of the other players you mentioned play the same position so won't be on the field at the same time... It doesn't matter how you look at it, our starting 11 are worse than they were last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We clearly just doing Chelsea favours with PSR by taking him, hopefully he’ll be handy next year in the championship though.

The point was that we are not playing with last seasons performances, it is a new season where individual performance levels are as yet unknown, some may have breakout seasons, some maybe be diabolical who were good last season.

You lost me when you said its a good thing we've lost unmotivated players and then proceed to name one of the most unmotivated players to ever play for us, Soumare, as a 'positive, addition. Buononatte looks good in fairness, Kristiansen is a bomb scare, Fatawu isn't really an 'addition' from last season and Golding you'll probably only see if you go an watch the development team. I've seen the Royal Caribbean turn quicker than Okoli so I don't hold much hope there. Edited 17 August by adejo92 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 17 August Share Posted 17 August We're definitely worse this season than last unless Buonanotte, Okoli, Kristiansen and Cannon all end up being a hell of a lot better than we think they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"lost unmotivated players and added Soumare"... you can't be serious? he doesn't want to be here and either doesn't have the tactical nouse or the willingness to play any role that isn't the one he played for Lille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
