I could see Pritchard being a great option off the bench. I would much rather see him sitting there than Moses.When I suggested signing 2 AMs, 2 strikers and a CM (3 of which I said need to first team material, the other two as squad cover) it was shot down as excessive.
So I can only assume that those who think so are happy with the likes of Pritchard, Onamah, Carroll and Alli as matchday squad or first team material. Even Lennon was brought up as a reason not sign more attacking mids.
So. I guess those people.
That was my theory last season when I argued for half a year that we should rotate. It was shot down and the squad was deemed not good enough and thats why the manager was forced to play the same players.
I dont think selling Capoue and Stambouli and trying to sign McCarthy is good business at all.
But we have a manger who we know doesnt play people once he has decided its over, so of course, we have to replace those he sold. However, Id still be happier to sign Berahino or Moses than rely on Carroll or Pritchard should Eriksen or Chadli get injured.
Im all for giving untried youth a chance, but you would have to be an extremely naive manager to think that they will hold down a top 6 PL spot over the course of a season when used in 4 or 5 key positions.
What team does that? These players need to be bedded in in the CC, FA and EL.
Ended 7-6 to Roma on penalties. Iturbe scored his.Got a stream?
Aleksandar Mitrovic due to have Newcastle medical. Fee around £13m according to Sky Sports.Nope Mitrovic is off to Porto mate

What? Paulinho featured A LOT at the end of the season. I think everyone knew what was happening as soon as the window opened, though. Vlad was used at both RB and CB as well. Also looks done. Fallacy.But we have a manger who we know doesnt play people once he has decided its over

Sammy wishes we had better players. Past that I have a hard time working out what his point is.Sammy, you are the one true master of erroneous conclusions.
...
Argie, 2-footed, pacey winger ... if we can get him for cheap, then ... Yes please!
And Nabil Bentaleb ... any specific views on him? I know he also played for your other fav team, Porto.
Ade having his medical at Villa!!!! Oh no not quite..........
I found a fishing stream,http://www.totalsportek.com/real-madrid-live-stream/ . My Saturday is sorted.
I wouldn't bother mate - 0-0 but not as exciting as it sounds!
Iturbe looked alright but the best Roma winger on show was Falque!!
I could see Pritchard being a great option off the bench. I would much rather see him sitting there than Moses.
It was only when we turned to "untried youth" in key positions -- Bentaleb, Mason and Kane -- that we started looking like a top 6 side. Before that we looked lower-mid table at best.
Been worried about this all summer, and have posted my concerns on a number of occasions.Anyone else a little concerned that we are going the usual levy route and desperately scramble around on the last day of the window trying to sign players? I'm happy with our defensive signings ( Wimner, tripper and Alderweireld) but we are still way off pace with the rest of the teams above us. Maybe when we get rid of Soldado etc things might roll quickly but we only have 2 weeks until the season and we don't seem to be close to signing anyone. A decent striker is such a massive priority even more so than a defensive midfielder in my eyes. If harry kane gets injured long term then it's season over for me. A quality striker/ partner is a must.
It is excessive because we have Lamela, Eriksen, Chadli and Kane whom most on here think should be our starters, and we still want to be able to try out the youngsters. A big squad hasn't worked for us, so why try it again.
Was Poch forced to play the same players because people on here shot down your theory? Or what are you saying?

Yeah, splash the cash on a guy like Moses who's done fuck all for years, instead of a much cheaper, "homemade" solution like Pritchard who's been immense for his team and played regularly. And then sell Moses again next year.
