Why are you calling me Eric? Because i think your ratings are way too harsh, i must be ETH? That is pretty lame dont you think?
Malacia was fairly cheap, had some good games but had the misfortune to miss this season with a bad injury and now he is championship quality and brittle? Players can miss a lot off football with a bad injury without being brittle. Happend to Roy Keane even. Malacia also is exactly the transfer people cry out for. Young players with potential to grow.
Eriksen came on a free (which is important for you since you use it as something against the Mount transfer), had a decent year but is also a bad transfer now? For a player who came on a free and isnt actually on that high of a wage for a free transfer player.
Then there is the weird Hojlund has a t-rex running style comment and that he needs to learn how to run? Even when he is one of the fastest players in the league?
Also using the 7 shirt against Mount (and ETH) is weird in my opinion. After Owen, Valencia and di Maria wore that shirt, it isnt like Mason Mount shouldnt be allowed to wear it.
Those ratings are way too soft and I mean he needs to be shown how to make the right runs not run down a blind alley, yes he’s quick but we’ve hardly seen examples of that, a new coach and a new DOF especially one like Dan Ashworth will look at Newcastle recruitment at half the outlay to ours and think what on earth went on
Lewis Hall at £30m or Malacia at £15m?
Or Maybe TiVo Livremento?
Stop defending the Manager and the players, only 12 at maximum should be here next year but that’s not possible so it will be probably 15 or 16 staying, the coach on other hand, he’s long gone!
For the record most of this squad is currently being coached like a championship squad which is why we nearly lost to mid table championship club in a FA Cup Semi Final!
How you can compare Valencia with Mount is beyond me!
