Otta Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Agger has left Liverpool, think that's a good thing for the club. I hope United's latest signing is Blind to their current form.I'll get my coat.

Otta Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Happy with that! Really wasn't sure how today would go, but shouldn't have been so worried. Sterling looking awesome (well I say "looking", I've not actually seen it, so guess "sounding" more apt), Balotelli needs fitness, but sounds like he was involved in a positive way.And regarding the penalty, concensus seems to be that it was soft, but it was a penalty. Suarez may be gone, but our defence is looking better, and if they can keep improving then we shouldn't need all his goals (baring in mind that even without his 30 odd goals last year we still scored more than all but a couple of teams.

Jah Lush Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hmmm... you haven't even watched it yet. Tccch! I thought Spurs played fairly well. Qk. we weren't that bad but the stats will tell you we only had one shot on target in the whole 90 minutes. Says everything for me. Definitely the area we need working on.

Mick Mac Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 MOTD. Looked like Henderson pulling the strings for Liverpool. If he hadn't been sent off three games from the end of last season, who knows. Lots of good performances, it seems Brendans boys look decent again this year. Spurs had their opportunities but nowhere near the attacking riches that Liverpool have and it showed.

Mick Mac Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 From nout to two strikers - signed in 30 minutes of the deadline...."Things looked touch and go earlier today but Celtic pulled a late double swoop to sign John Guidetti on loan from Manchester City, and Stefan Scepovic on a four year deal from Sporting Gijon. Guidetti has been a Celtic transfer rumour since his 20 goals in 23 games stint at Feyenoord as a teenager in 2011-12. Now he?s on board, I?m holding out for news of Georgi Kinkladze.Stefan Scepovic could have played his hand better over the last 24 hours; footballers are seldom accused of over-intellectualising their plans. Late interest from La Liga looked to have dealt Celtic a body-blow, but he?s ours now, and I?m pleased we got someone who was wanted by Spanish scouts."Edited to add that we also managed to hold on to Virgil van Dyke on the day he was called up to the Dutch squad, despite lots of EPL interest. It's nice to see the club being big enough to tell a player he is going nowhere.

maxxi Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I know Diame wanted to leave but... Hull? Is this who Song was drafted in to replace - one of the few players who showed some class last year swapped for an unwanted/unhappy/shunned loanee?ETA - I know he's (Diame) been a tad off colour but we've still kept bleedin Vaz Te and can't seem to shake of Carlton either!

Parkdrive Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The Arsenal do it to their fans yet again. We pay world calss ticket prices and are promised world class players and specifically a world class strike, and we get Danny fcuking Wellbeck. Fair enough then, if the club want to charge those prices and not deliver on players, I'll hold on to my hard earned cash. I'm already paying enough on poxy sky sports, and that will suffice until the day, if it ever comes, that we finally & properly replace Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira, Adams and Campbell. Extremely pissed off to say the least. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/141/#findComment-778280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraferJack Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Really PD? Have some perspective1 - I think Wellbeck will do us a good job2 - as has been said many times - it's not a shop where you can just go in and buy the biggest names. There are VERY few truly world class players and the megabucks of City, Chelsea et al will invariably win out3 - We have actually managed to buy some of the biggest names - pundits and other clubs was lyrical about Sanchez and Ozil - doesn't mean they always click tho4 - you mention the invincible names - many of which were nobodies or failures elsewhere until they they became world class at Arsenalbeing "extremely pissed off to say the least" is just crazy talk Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/141/#findComment-778282 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Falcao, the only reason he's gone to Yanited is for the money, plain and simple. This was perfectly highlighted when he told a sky presenter that it was his "dream" to play for them. When the sky presenter said that he had said the same about playing for Real Madrid, he said "I have lots of dreams" Course you do.

StraferJack Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 what does "had enough" mean tho - where is the entitlement coming from?being able to afford the best doesn't always mean you just go and spend it - you have to take a longer view - I read that Falcao's wages amount to 330k a week. And he's there for a year loanI wouldn't be happy if we were paying that - it's not sustainable, and would create discontent in dressing room. So we could afford it but we haven't. Let's see where teams sit at season end eh? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/141/#findComment-778290 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see where teams sit at season end> eh?Forget Falcao. If our scouting network is as good as Wenger claims it is, are you telling me they couldn't find anyone was nobody else available. Bony from Swansea would have been a good buy, pace power and a proven goal scorer. Not a world class player, but I'd have him over Wellbeck all day long. Entitlement? Following a club for 48 years, home and away, now and then, spending the money I've spent on tickets, programmes, fanzines, travel costs, and the commitment in time and passion, that's where the entitlement comes from.
