I don’t think or see the need for too much upheaval and especially not the forward line which until the end of the season performed well
A lot imo are making a lot of judgements based on the last 4 weeks where the form dropped
There is a lot of talent there to work with
I think many, myself included, feel we should move at least one on and freshen it up.
That's where the talk is.
Whether it happens is difficult to judge.
What that good? 😂
Let’s not forget if what we read is true he was your third choice.
It was around 1998 and I was mates with a fella (lets called him Dave) who held the account for supplying the players with Nicholas Deakin shoes. So, he asked if we fancied all expenses paid trip to Anfield to watch us play Nottingham Forrest. This is how the day panned out...
Morning... a car was sent to pick us up. No kidding, some fancy people carrier thing with a driver!
We arrived at Anfield, got dropped off near the VIP/Players entrance and there was quite a crowd. He held a badge up and some chaps came and parted the fans so we could walk straight through. Wow.
Now Dave was going to a VIP sponsor box thingy but he'd got us tickets for the Main stand so that's where we sat.
we dismantled Forrest 5-1 with Owen scoring 4 times!
so, after the match we met Dave and he asked if we fancied a quick pint before setting off, took us down a few corridors and into the Carlsberg Lounge which turned out to be where the players headed once they were washed and changed. Free Carlsberg on tap, food and best of all the players!
So for the next hour we stood with Owen, McManaman, Patrick Berger etc and more noticeably Jamie Redknapp stood with us (and his bint Louise Nurding or whatever she was called), turns out Jamie was Dave's best customer and a friend too.
We met some other players and a bloke from Brookside (Mick I think he played) oh and Craig Charles was in there too.
We got driven back home and that was that.
Seems to be a lot of people talking about wide players or forwards arriving
We currently have 5 in the first team
Mo
Diaz
Nunez
Jota
Gakpo
Then you add in the likes of Doak , Danns and other young lads
I can’t see any forward arriving unless one of those 5 leaves
Worse position they will finish next year is 2nd...
Think Jones will be cut from that squad before the tournament anyway. He's just there to get some experience around the main squad as he might be part of their plans after the Euros if he finds form again.
Another season with nothing to show for it. Arteta not even as successful as Ten Hag, even though he's been in charge twice as long...They'll drop back next season....you heard it here first!
