One day earlier and we could have got Russell Martin on loan… can't catch a break.
Russell Martin would have been a better option in my opinion and a lot cheaper
This place is going mad
I honestly think our squad is weaker now than it has been for a long long time.

The team is going backwards at an alarming rate

yes.


We had a tough fixture list in December that caught up with us a bit, but in terms of progress, we're miles ahead of where we were eighteen months ago.

Maybe it’s just me but a “calf injury” and out for a month ? Really ? There’s not even an indication that he’s pulled his calf.

Bit of deep heat on it, stretch it off, maybe take a few days off training and go for a swim. Then get your arse back training. Modern footballers are soft as shampooe. Out for weeks and months at a time for knocks and niggles. Roy Keane called it spot on with this kind of thing.

Frustration not all aimed at Compper btw, just our injury situation in particular as well as the prima-donna attitude of modern football players. Spare me the pushing themselves to the limit patter as well.
Calf injuries are notoriously prone to break down if not rehabbed properly.
If it isn't done properly and he gets an even bigger tear it will be season over.
More likely to happen in older players and can become a significant ongoing issue

You can't speculate on injury frequency unless you have proper stats which I'm sure the medical department keep.

We've progressed every single transfer window so far. Nothing to suggest this wont be the same. :thumbsup:

The previous poster is clearly at it with his Russell Martin chat but there’s certainly an argument that we’re behind where we were 12 months ago. Dembele, Simunovic, Armstrong, Roberts, Rogic and Sinclair were all playing much better last season (obviously injuries have played a big part with a couple of those guys) and people were genuinely talking about this team developing into a strong European side. Some of that optimism has died down in recent months - mainly due to the heavy European defeats rather than a few flat domestic performances. We’re in a good place generally but we definitely could do with a couple of stellar signings to freshen things up.

I think our team is powder puff. IMO the only 4 players who would fight for the jersey were Brown, Tierney, Griffiths and Sviatchenko !! The rest hide when the going gets tough

To be honest I don't know if Compper is any good or not but I can't see the point in paying more than £1m for a player who will be 33 soon and can't play in Europe till next season.

I reckon the value of our squad is lower now than at any time in the last 10 years

I am still struggling to understand how this squad has managed only to lose one game domestically in 18 months...and get through two CL qualifying attempts...and win just the four trophies

imagine what it would be like if we were decent and had more than four players :ffs:

Two of which aren't first choice.

Been playing with 9 shampooebags and we've done brilliant. Cant wait until we have 11 men with the attitude of Griffiths and Sviatchenko. :rocker:
