redNATION's latest activity

  • Everything I’m hearing about Slot is what we heard about ETH before he came to Utd, modern, attacking and possession based football etc, which doesn’t seem to hard to achieve in the Dutch league. Hopefully he’s just as successful as ETH has been...
  • redNATION replied to the thread Donkai Havertz | Arsenal Watch.
    He’s scored less than Hjolund who’s been pretty poor (and also injured) this season.
  • We seem to buy the wrong players from everyone, Dortmund not least of all.
  • He’ll either be KdBs replacement at City or our replacement for Bruno (if and when Ineos have us competing again), Arsenal won’t last long at the top and now that he’s had a taste of the big time he won’t stick around when Arsenal go back into...
  • redNATION replied to the thread Striker options?.
    Jonathan David, proven goals scorer in France, good age, ready to make the step up, a younger version of Ivan Tony/Ollie Watkins.
  • It’ll get sorted out, this type of gamesmanship always happens when senior execs are involved and moving between competitors. Newcastle are paying him his full salary for doing nothing and also need to pay any replacement, it would be very...
  • Would take Tuchel over the others being touted (Potter, Southgate, de Zerbi). Won a champions league not long ago so has good credentials.
  • I do think they need to introduce the concept of “linesman’s call”, ie where the lines are so close together it really becomes a matter of inches and I think the benefit should be given to the linesman whether he/she flags or not. That would...
  • He didn’t have Frenkie de Jong, it’s unfair to judge him.
  • redNATION replied to the thread Nicholas Jackson.
    I said earlier that i haven’t seen Hojlund run a defender ragged in the way Jackson did to Stones, I know people say we don’t create chances for Hojlund but he could still contribute by bullying defenders and making their life difficult. I’ve...
  • redNATION replied to the thread Nicholas Jackson.
    He’s more of a handful than Hjolund, he ran Stones ragged.
  • Clear pen
  • Chelsea’s decision making is so poor, the take too many touches, so many chances to either pass early or shoot and they could be 2 up.
  • Our rebuild clearly can’t take place over one summer, we’ve screwed up our transfers so badly it’ll take 2-3 windows to fix it. We’ll need to focus on priority positions (CB, CDM, striker) this summer and perhaps the younger players we can target...
  • redNATION replied to the thread The left-back market….
    Could we perhaps tempt Theo Hernandez here? I just think FB is one of critical positions in the modern game and it’s clear we’re light years behind our rivals (including European teams). Even at RB we need someone like Frimpong.
