Don Pacifico we did really well without winning that's fine when you have come from nowhere(although would be better to get it finished when your level is high) less okay as time goes by and you should show progress. At the moment it looks like we've regressed this year. That may be down to circumstances but when they weren't impacting us so acutely we still failed to win so there is no certainty we will be able to make that leap.
awooga83 it's one season. And it's not even finished yet. I agree that we need to be winning things soon but I do think some of the anxiety is a bit premature.
flobaba We should “de-average” the assessment.
So B- for the transfers. A+ for the attitude and coaching.
Transfers are a D- at best.
Coombs one of our transfers scored his second picture perfect goal of the season.
Last season, folks judged our transfer window by January as an absolute failure. Looking back, Rice, Havertz, Raya and Timber is possibly our best transfer window ever.
Claudius no they did not. They judged January as a failure, because it was.
Claudius Looking back, Rice, Havertz, Raya and Timber is possibly our best transfer window ever.
😂 Not close.
Ah Ramsdale fans…
Don Pacifico what makes exactly next year the time where it's not any longer premature? (I'm assuming that's what you mean, unless you're talking even more years down the line).
QuincyAbeyie exactly, every season is...one season
QuincyAbeyie sure, it's subjective. But as I think I mentioned earlier we had the same angst from people when we lost at Spurs and finished 5th. Then next season happened and the outlook changed.
At a minimum, I don't think obituaries should be written before the season is over.
Coombs our friend Don Pacifico will say ‘next year, next year’ until there is no next year and all our players have past their peak or been sold.
Qwiss I rank it up there. Certainly the best post Sol Campbell window. What’s been better since?
Claudius I'd be happier with an FA cup and 3rd than 2nd and nothing.
Qwiss
Third and getting nowhere near the title but an FA Cup vs getting close to the title but no FA Cup?
Claudius you didn't enjoy the raid of the lost property bins window of summer 2011 Claud?
Claudius so you are changing from "best ever" to best post Sol?
Anyway I'd say the summer we signed Ode and White was better.
Claudius
The Sol Campbell window was crap.
Wright, Jeffers, Campbell, Inamoto, van Bronkhorst.
But Sol was a great signing so it made up for the 80% failure rate of that window.
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert you’re right. Santos, Park and Gervinho amongst others coming in to replace Nasri and Fabregas is a contender.
Sign some fucking players Kroneke
This guy would die for us. But doesn’t mean we should try to finish him off. Shouldn’t even travel for the last champions league game
I noticed that at the whistle. I physically ached watching him.
Qwiss obviously the dah we got Henry is best ever anything But I think a four player haul of that quality did us is impressive. These guys are first choices on a top squad and put in big performances
