Much more strength in depth in this squad, much bigger and stronger, more leaders, and a better starting eleven, we could have done with more but this is a better more experienced sqaud than the last one that got promoted! :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Really cannot this * where's no money * lark as on NUMEROUS occasion NW has said Mr Tan has wanted to spend it but he will not !!!
Think everyone should have learned their lessons on spending for the sake of it after Lambert etc.

Hope we are not paying Fulham towards Ried loan and surely it's there that he cannot play against us not that I'm that bothered to be honest as couple of stiff challenges and he goes missing.

Weaker defensively. Midfield and up front hard to judge yet till we see the guys play.

It's a complicated loan sale more than £10Million in the end, Warnock said he and his agent asked to leave to go to Fulham

Totally agree with you


Warnock said himself he has 10m left to spend in the prem and we have 14m worth out on loan.

Why is this the city fan mindset?


CITY lose first game of season and we're shite, we won't even make playoffs.

FULHAM lose first game of the season and our fans say they are light years ahead of us, best team in the championship and will walk promotion.

We’ll play like we did last time it worked then it’ll work now. Why play twenty passes when three will do. In the words of Jimmy Murphy MU COACH AND WALES manager 1958. “You win the ball,you pass the ball,you score a goal, anything else is just embellishment.

Bacuna? What I’ve seen of him, he’s not very good. I’ve seen Vaulks play for Wales etc and he looks very decent. I’d put him in instead of Bacuna.

Why you writing Glatzel off before he’s played also? Madine is shit and just never looks like he’d score. He can win the odd flick on granted but in all the games I’ve seen him play for us, he’s not impressed me once.

All about opinions I guess. Vaulks has done nothing for me when I've seen him play for Wales

Re: Stronger squad than the season we went up

I honestly think we have unearthed a gem in Vaulks :ayatollah:
Ralls and Vaulks will have some freedom with Pack behind them. :bluescarf:

You've judged him on 2 games for Wales where he got an assist in his debut and was a sub in the closing minutes of his second game.

Bit ridiculous that mate.

:lol:

Goalie the same, Bamba is still available for defence. You've picked a weaker element in midfield when we have better options and up front you have ignored EVERYONE we brought in.


That’s because it suits his negative agenda. Nobody except him would put Madine there!
:laughing6:

Besides, it’s a squad game more than ever in the championship not the same 11 each week.

Not really He's played 3 games for Wales and it's all I've seen of him live. So it's all I have to go on :thumbup:

He played a total of 3 minutes in your gonna count that as a game?

As I said he put in good performances and got an assist so I'm struggling with your view.

But hey ho I just hope the Club used more than a grand total of 159 minutes to assess him.

Not quite sure of the point your making here. I'm not condemning him. But I can only judge him on what ive seen.
