Soares Signs

[westcliff white]

So much negativity on here!!

Liverpool were looking to sign him last year. I think it's an excellent bit of business.

Yes he is injured but it's not the end of the world. We're obviously confident he will be back to normal soon or wouldn't have signed him.

Great bit of business for a position we were in desperate need.

Let's look at the stand out points of this window. We were seen as the best footballing side in the league last year so our players were obviously a target.

Managed to resign Cairney and Sessegnon
Got Kalas and Piazon back
Signed Cisse as a KMac backup (who looks good)
Norwood for a TC and Johansen backup (who looks good)
Now replaced Malone with a great player IMO (Soares). (and for the record... Porto would competently turn us over).
Signed a pacey winger Ojo
Signed Kamara (strong, pacey)
Signed Fonte (technically very strong)

I for one couldnt have realistically hoped for more.

As well as this, Odoi seems a lot better this year so far and Button is playing out of his skin!!

Dont let a few bad results (which are bound to happen with so many new additions and injuries) reflect poorly on our window.

I think the club have done outstandingly well. Once we have the team fit again and players have had time to gell we look one of, if not the strongest in the league.

dont think it is negative to be sceptical untill you have seen someone play overall so far its been a decnt window qwithout signing a big name player. I wonder though if Liverpool were interested (are there any facts on that?) why they didnt sign him

[Mince n Tatties]

Sky make me laugh,10-19 they put up he joined us,11-01 they have him 4.7 on the whispers he might join ..lol

We're in the Championship. Who classes as a big name player? It's all relative. Big name often means over priced

Is Norwood a big name player? Sure he was a squad player but he got automatic promotion from this league last year.

Not that much negativity on here. People are frustrated about the time it has taken to bring in players. We still have questions at the back. Questions if the players up front are the players we required.

As for our new signing. Here he is. Careful now, no sit down if it hurts. Take the weight off it. No you will be fine by Michaelmas. Really looking forward to seeing him, oh hang on he has fallen over again.

Only on loan and could be the bit of the jigsaw required. But we had this Greek bloke once. We all know how that went.

Did I say I wanted one? I said without signing one (and for clarity to me that would be an established player from a mid to lower premier league club who had been replaced by a new signing there).

For me you dont need to go that way and I am happy with out signings, I was just saying (which I thought wa spretty clear) if anyone had seen him play sa few times so they could say what he was like (papers are often worng), and wondering why Liverpool (if they were interested) didnt sign him, maybe there was an issue aside his injury, again I thought that was pretty clear.

bloody phone is awful for this sort of thing, back in the office soon. But remember it isnt a spleeing forum but a football one :)

[Holders]

is he supposed to be cover for young Sess? or do you guys think this is an  indication of Sess possibly leaving?

[@jolslover]

Brilliant, he does exist then....Coyw

No, he does not, only the injured version exsists, as part of Klines stats remit consists of only finding players who are currently carrying an injury, that is mandatory and compulsory.

Fonte? Kamara? Cisse? None of them are injured...  1500.gif

Only Fonte played in the last match, the other two must have been carrying an injury, cause why didn't they play, unless Jok didn't think they were good enough, or fit enough, so why sign them.

Right, So we shouldn't sign any players that will not start?. So we should only have a squad of 11?.

Well Soares cant play until September anyway and will need to time to adapt so Sess wont be leaving in the next 10 days (as much as Sky is trying to sell him for us). After that it'll be a similar situ to Malone/Sess last season. Sess is only 17 so will need to be rested and not overused and will also play LW ahead of Soares in other games. Both will get minutes.

If anyone leaves it'll be Aluko (not that i think it's the right decision as I've mentioned elsewhere).

for me Sess is better played further forward and I have an incling SJ thinks that too

Agree re Aluko, wouldnt rule out Sess. someone offers silly money all upfront the club will (and probably rightfully) will take it. As long as we can get a replacement in the same time

Anything 25-30m+ (as the Nigeria website quoted) especially upfront should be taken. Sess could be the next Bale, he could also be the next Dale Jennings (who? exactly). We also have his twin to blood and flog in the future. As we say in sales, double bubble *vomits*

As I've said before, I don't see it happening.

Incorrect. We should only have a squad of ten.

That may come back and bite you, not saying it will, but to coin an adage its a funny ole game

I am not overly worried about spurs as I half expect it, Man Utd there sone to conjour they could bid high all up front offe rplayers and also loan back. That may be too good for us with any combinaiton that they could offer
