Re: Stam's comments - only a matter of time now

It's not really Stam's fault that the club can't/won't afford that [striker] It's his job to make sure we get the players we need. He asked for the 7 signings, a keeper and 6 non-strikers. If I were him I'd have said give me a keeper, perhaps a Bacuna to replace Williams and then I'll have 2-3 goal...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Norwich City (h) sponsored by going for the "lack of 1st half goals" record

ayjaydee Jerome pulled Blacketts arm out of its socket to get there but allowing the ball to bounce in the 6 yard box beforehand was shameful


From what I hear Blackett at fault again.

Falls asleep far too often. I've had enough.

The guy is a liability and should never play for us again.

Re: Is the idea of a striker flawed? Does Stam believe in total football?

Ok. So on the basis of the Bristol disaster it would seem the idea of a striker is not flawed, and in truth much as I love Stam I'm feeling angry that he and Tevreden put so much effort into bringing in sooo many midfielders and relatively little effort was put into bringing in at least one goalsco...

Re: In or Out?

I voted out . Now clearly the idea of the chap being sacked anytime soon after last season is ridiculous and I'm talking if we have similar results half way through the season. But the facts are: - last season we were lucky, punched way above our weight, were toothless, negative, boring and couldn't...

Re: CONFIMRED: Sone Aluko

maffff
2 world wars, 1 world cup Is this our first Nigerian signing?

Does it mean we'll have to hand him our bank details?

Akpan, Sodje, Yakubu, Chukwunyelu

And that's before you get onto those that would have been eligible for Nigeria (Robson-Kanu, Ikpeazu to name but two...).


Oh.

Re: Is the idea of a striker flawed? Does Stam believe in total football?

That's the key. If we break down the defences and get the service into the box then I'm confident that Mendes and Bid have enough about them to get shots on target. Without decent service, even the best strikers will struggle to score goals. Get the service right and an average striker will score t...

Re: Is the idea of a striker flawed? Does Stam believe in total football?

this is made a nonsense of by the bids and interest we had for a variety of strikers I did think that. But it's not black and white. It's clear where his focussed has been for a long time. Midfielder after midfielder after midfielder but relatively low interest in strikers which has materialised in...

Re: Is the idea of a striker flawed? Does Stam believe in total football?

It seems with Stam though that outside of his defence he's just interested in "good football players". Aka midfielders who can play anywhere. Clearly there was money to be spent this window and he didn't get anyone in, so I can only imagine he knows what he's doing. After the near miracle...

Is the idea of a striker flawed? Does Stam believe in total football?

Just putting it out there. Many seem to have this idea of a strict system of keeper, defenders, CMs wingers and one or 2 strikers. It seems with Stam though that outside of his defence he's just interested in "good football players". Aka midfielders who can play anywhere. It reminds me a b...

Re: How many will we sign?

genome Remember with the cheaper overseas option, the pound vs the euro is a shambles so we would be paying over the odds there as well


Something else to blame the brexitossers for.

Re: How many will we sign?

Maybe silly question but is it still possible we've signed someone but it's not been announced yet? I remember asking this a few years back and being advised yes it's possible. Just hanging onto a faint glimmer of hope.

Re: How many will we sign?

I don't understand the people that have elsewhere said they are happy to go without. If you think we can maintain a sustained promotion push with what we've got then fair enough, id like some of what you're smoking but I think it's imperative we get a striker in with a good goal scoring record.

Re: CONFIMRED: Sone Aluko

I feel excited largely because Stam really wants this chap and it's a big money signing so clearly people somewhere must rate him highly. But I can't help thinking that ONCE AGAIN we have bought someone who isn't a full on goal scoring striker. Like the Bod he can play on wing or up front and his go...

With the record breaking big money signing of Aluko you guys really think we are thinking of signing this guy too?

Re: CONFIMRED - Dave Edwards

Delighted that we have another midfielder.

The squad's been crying out for a few more midfielders and we finally have another one.

A couple more midfielders and we should be ok in that area.

We could also do with getting rid of a couple of strikers to make room and funds available for them.

Re: Matchwatch: Fulham (H)

Can't score enough against a 10 man team. No decent strikers.

That's ok Stam, please continue looking for millions of midfielders so they can pass the ball about amongst themselves for 90mins.
