The Fish 10854 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Go on, someone tell him we don't want him to post less. I can't. the way I see it, this place veers towards apathy and silence if someone isn't taking an opposing stance to the crowd. Also I see predictions of total catastrophe, endless doom and unrelenting misery all over the place, and some of these predictions are histrionics and petulance. It bugs me is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1244 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I don't think there's any of that. Just realistic concerns based upon the history of the current regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21912 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 fish man, there is absolutely nothing petulant about taking a view based on reality. the reason we're not optimistic about getting a good new manager is because ashley has a shit track record in that department. there's nothing overly gloomy about that - we're judging him on recent history, which, let's face it, has been an absolute holocaust. plus we aren't a particularly attractive proposition while the fat cunt is in charge, regardless of our history/fanbase/renowned nightlife/golf courses etc etc. come and join us in the real world. you're only setting yourself up for another massive disappointment. at least this way, if ashley does the unexpected it'll be a pleasant surprise.

Ayatollah Hermione 13860 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 And there's only so much ground here. It basically boils down to "I don't think we'll go down because" and hypothetical discussions about managers based around a club that doesn't seem to think more than 2 weeks in advance. Both things will be seen in time; us going down involves 5 teams below us, who have been shit all season, suddenly winning games and we'll see that over the next month. The manager will be seen around the same time. There's nothing to be gained from going back and forth when both sides have their opinions and aren't going to budge until the results are seen.

Rayvin 5217 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I'd take Brad Jones to replace Elliot and put some actual pressure on Krul. Micah Richards if he'd even consider moving here. Agree with Fish on Ings and Sinclair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Ings and Vlar. I'd also take Huddlestone and Austin if Hull/QPR go down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Ings and Vlar. I'd also take Huddlestone and Austin if Hull/QPR go downAye, all that press about Ings being wanted by Liverpool and Man City seemed to die down. The biggest hurdle we have is I imagine a few of them would be on more than 50k a week and would proba ly want a bit more being a free transfer.

Holden McGroin 6581 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yeah. Jones is awful. I'd take Vlaar, Micah Richards, and Ings in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4247 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Garbutt is a very good young left back, would stop us having to play Anita, Jonas or Taylor there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5217 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yeah. Jones is awful. I'd take Vlaar, Micah Richards, and Ings in a heartbeat. Worse than Elliot...? And yes, Vlaar is an obvious one too but I figured he'd go to Man Utd. That said, I don't hold much hope for us getting Richards either. Liverpool shouldn't bother with Ings, he's decent but not the superstar striker they need in order to just miss out on the top 4 next year.

Howay 12496 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) I think the Ings thing is more that he's a decent English player available on a free for that quota, maybe? If not then I fully agree he's below the level of player they should look at. Edited May 11, 2015 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 True, he had a good first half of the season but has done very little recently. The season before Burnely got promoted he played nearly every game and only scored 3 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKANDWHITEGEORDIE 0 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 If we stay up, the new Head Coach should be looking at the likes of Adrian, Vlaar, Van Diijk, Redmond, Bolasie, Dier, Austin for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4747 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 You've mentioned Dier and Bolasie before, what makes you think they're available at all, let alone at the sort of price we'd pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
