We have a couple of players covering a few positions and Milner covering them all. I dont really want to see Gomez at right back, I'd rather give hoever a go. I'm praying Robertson doesn't pick up a knock, but in saying that he looks the type of lad who would play on with only one leg. It's a strange predicament to be in. I'm very nervous about the upcoming season but we havnt been in such a strong position for as long as I can remember. We've got a very very good first 11, with excellent cover in midfield and centre defence. It looks like we've got a good crop of youth coming through, something that hasn't happened for ages. If I look at it dispassionately I'd say we are in excellent shape as a club and should be optimistic, but I'm still worried
Maybe I've just got a bit spoilt, it wasnt that long ago that we where absolutely desperate for players to come in to improve the first team, now where not happy with the second team. If things carry on as they are in two years, we will be talking about how the search for a new tea lady isn't going as we like.
It's a new world mate we've gone from hoping we can challenge for trophies and being called deluded and rightly so to actually being able to challenge.
Citeh's squad may be worth hundreds of millions more but there's barely a fag paper between us, really looking forward to the season
Just focus on one competition unlike others pushing for the league. Then hey presto, they should win. Maybe dip out of domestic cups early as they are easy to win.
It can't be denied he has played his part (or not) in their downfall.....for that sort of money he has been shocking
Almost. And Everton get another £5m for a flop and he gets another big money move for a flop. Him and others just keep getting deals after flopping.
Only if there not counting inflation. What was the price of an average CB when they brought lukaku because the price in this window is 85m
Not really risk free when he hasn't propelled them to the top of the league. Sure his value is protected but it was always a gamble that didn't pay off for them.
