  1. The only benefit so far of Webber leaving and Knapper coming in is that it gave Wagner a few weeks without aggressive calls for his head from fans as they gave Knapper a bit of time. Although, we do all remember posters on here who were certain that Knapper was just acting as a puppet for Webber who was still controlling everything. So I think that conspiracy bought some valuable time for the club to get players back fit. Other than that, Knapper loaned out Idah and brought in SvH - so there's certainly a lot of room for improvement.
  2. Really wish I could see what he brings to the offering. Apparently one noticeable shot in 90 mins of u21 football? After some very uninspiring substitute performances? Hopefully it is just fitness...
  3. Yes and Sorensen has some really favourable qualities for our style of football under Wagner but of course, he is not a better central defender than Hanley at his best.
  4. I think you're making pretty irrelevant comparisons. We were considerably better than Brentford in the Championship, finishing with 10 points more than them. But who put up the better fight in the Premier League? We don't need a Buendia to create chances in the Prem. Physically I think we're better than last time we went up, Sargent is a forward who can do more than one thing (Pukki could only play one way and was exceptional at it). Sara is a midfielder who has the physicality for the Prem. Sainz and Rowe are unknown quantities but for me offer a lot more to Prem style football than Tzolis and Rashica. Stacey purely for his size reduces the huge defensive weakness we had at Prem level by playing Aarons every week. We've seen how Farke's style of football is 10x harder to build a Premier League squad for - see Burnley this season who spent twice what we did. Farke's style of football DID require a Buendia. We might not have a chance to find out but I'm happy to have a charity bet that should we get promoted, we finish on more points than we did in Farke's Prem season?
  5. I actually think we'd beat the points total we got under Farke. We'd still likely be relegated, mind.
  6. Funny how Farke came in for McLean and not Nunez then. Almost as if my view isn't controversial at all, mine is in line with those who actually know football, yours is with yourself. as for my apparent controversial view, it appears 90% of the fanbase has come around to my way of thinking. It's OK to be wrong mate, your points prediction in October has to be up there with the worst takes ever submitted on this forum but everyone's been kind enough to keep quiet on it..
  7. Rowe can play in a similar way to Sainz though, their style lends to playing an inside forward role well.
  8. Hes more than decent at Championship level which is why anyone who's actually played football at that level has him in our starting lineup. Current players, ex players, managers. The lot. You only have to note over the last 8 games the defence splitting passes putting the likes of Sainz and Sargent through (2 yesterday) whilst driving with the ball - something Nunez has shown an inability to do. McLean also players better long balls than Nunez.
  9. Stop it, I'm already disappointed in myself
  10. Good entertainment but didn't really offer much more insight than "get it furrwaarrddd buh!" which I suppose suits the targeted audience brilliantly.
  11. I'd agree he's never looked good enough in the Premier League for us, and that's unlikely to have suddenly changed, but would always caveat it with the fact that 90% of the squad have looked ill-equipped when playing in the Prem and it's often the midfield that look the worst when a whole team is struggling at a higher level.
  12. Which posters was it this time? I used plural on purpose 😃
