Regarding lack of gametime for the kids on this tour, I think it makes complete sense considering the manager is trying to introduce a complete new style of play. He is trying to give the first team as many minutes as possible to get them accustomed to his way of play
I like how he is obviously working a lot on player combinations. Examples of that are Savage and Iqbal always playing together
Sympathy, I honestly don’t know if DeJong is the right player for THAT role I’ve just not seen enough of him. He may well be, but seems he doesn’t want here otherwise he would be, unless of course he is doing all this to make sure Barcelona pay him what they owe him. R Madrid picked up Tchouaméni who could have been a good buy and would most definitely push out 1 if not both of McFred. Shame West Ham want so much for Rice, he’s a solid solid player that would improve every team around apart from a very small few.
de Jong is clearly ten Hag’s no 1 target this summer. He sees him as key to the system he wants to play. Given it’s his system and he has coached him for years, I think we all need to accept his judgement
There is no way we would still be chasing de Jong if there was a chance he didn’t want to come to us. He wants his 17 million so has to say he doesn’t want to leave
Ha ha was just thinking that Blacky. But i don’t think Tommy ever referred to Chelsea and Chelski and a few other words don’t quite fit in with him from my memory anyway.
So come on the @Warwick Road North, have you posted on here before or are you new to the site?
I think Madrid will have trouble playing Camavinga and Tchouameni in the same team, both are similar players, we might be able to get one of them on the cheap in a few years
Yep, Martial marginally better than Gashy but both poor. VDB doesn’t bring anything to the party and Fred gives the ball away for fun. Just no control in midfield, as usual.
