  1. This man is passionate, he cares, he gets us. Well done Onel. Not too sure about the length of the deal but under DW he's been important for us. Now, is Dowell-dinho getting a deal too?
  2. Who would you keep from the current squad?
  3. I think we as football fans become too attached to certain players, but a squad needs to be rebuilt and refreshed every 2 years. Look at PL teams who did not do that and had poor recruitment on top of that (Spurs, Lpool, MU to an extent) - contrast that with MCity that aren't bothered by losing Zinchenko, Cancelo, Sterling or Jesus. It HAS to be done otherwise players get lazy, usually as soon as they got a shiny new contract. The "core" of a squad can be kept for 5 or so years. Aside that, we should not be afraid to sell/let players go whenever there's replacement options.
  4. Why, where will he go? Any club put £9m + on the table? OK then..
  5. It is debatable whether it is Wagner that bears the brunt of responsibility for not achieving promotion after 3 months in charge.
  6. If money is the only thing that matters then I suspect NCFC is the wrong club.
  7. Webber's best achievement is not the 2 Championship titles. It's that he raised the profile of the club esp. in terms of infrastructure to make it a more saleable asset. Would we get Attanasio - or any other potential investor that is more or less in tune with the club ethos, not just purely in it for the money but with a wholesome view to football as a business - without SW? Why are people judged "bad fans" for not wanting promotion right now, only because they realise the squad needs a rebuild?
  8. See your Hayden at the flop, raise a Normann on the turn and AJ Ramsey on the river...
  9. Yeah, I think he's the closest thing to Emi without the little 'extra' our former n.17 had (hot headed aggression on a bad day, flashes of sexy magic football on a good day). The raw ingredients are all there, intent, physicality, skill, vision/awareness. Now it's a matter of gelling better with the other players. Tell you what, we will struggle to keep hold of this guy if City does not get PL next season.
  10. I've always had a dislike for ManU that I could not explain when they had their 1st super team with Ole, Keane, Cantona, A.Cole, Scholes etc. Then I lived a couple years in Yarmouth, and everything was clear.
  11. Do we have stats for most assists this season?
  12. Remember Harry Kane.. Useless for us wasn't he? How much would we give to have him back at the Carra for one season now? I'm not saying Idah is / will be anything like HK but we need to stick with him, either give him a proper run in the team or loan him out somewhere he will get plenty of games to develop.
  13. The intensity and focus of the press under DW is the telling factor.
  14. America (N & S) is strong on this one.
  15. It's rubbish to not be able to listen to the game on radio since I'm out of Norfolk ffs
  16. Slight deflection on Tzolis' goal, but Kudos to the guy, hopefully Wagner can get some consistent form out of him. Nunez strike tho! Phhwwooaaarrr
  17. Yeah, we're kinda biased here because, in recent past, Lambo and Neil managed survival in the PL with a style of football easier on the eye than the brand from Allardyce, Pulis, Pardew et al, then Farke - although unable to keep us in top division, in the Chumps he gave us the liquid football many top teams can only dream of. These two factors mean a better blueprint exists if we find the right raw material (players), and that, more likely - unless we can do a bit of the sweet stuff as well every so often, that fans can revel in, being the "dirty team" just to get results won't get much traction with lovers of this club. Also the kind of coach that is abrasive, negative in approach, un-empathetic with the players and fans... well, you saw what happened with DW's predecessor (can't remember his name) even when we were nicking 1-0, 2-1 wins.. I rest my case.
