The Football News Thread 2017/18 - everything not Wolves

[YoungWolf]

Zabaleta :icon_lol:

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Pope, Tarkowksi, Cork (I suppose, he never exactly wows anyone), the front three and the manager are all fair enough.

The rest aren't very good picks.

 

[Keef]

Tranmere back into the Football League...not bad going seeing as they went down to 10 men after 47 seconds.

Half man half biscuit will be overjoyed at that

------------------- Pope ------------------

Cedric -- Tarkowski -- Evans -- Bertrand

Mahrez ---------- Ndidi ----------- Zaha

Arnautovic ------ Murray -------- Vardy

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nice one man midfield you've got there, Mr Ardiles.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'll stick with the same formation as originally posted:

-------------------Dubravka--------------------

Coleman-----Tarkowski-----Lascelles-----Bertrand

-------------------Milivojevic------------------------

--------------Doucoure------Groß-------------------

----------Zaha------Vardy------Arnautovic------------

Coleman has barely played hasn't he? In my head he's been perpetually injured.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Came back at the end of January and has played pretty much every game since the start of March.

Not ideal but I was struggling for full backs, Bertrand hasn't been great either. I'm not having two Southampton defenders given what a horror show they've been. I suppose I could have had Lowton at RB, there isn't a standout there though, not based on this year's performances.

 

[The Bear]

I thought you were a Cedric fan and wanted to sign him? He's looked good to me every time I've seen him.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's decent, wouldn't say he's had a particularly good season though. Not helped with the chaos around him. He would have been a nice fit for us in an area where we seriously need strengthening.

You can chalk off Saints' first team players as potential signings now anyway, they won't be selling to what they will perceive (at first at least) to be rivals.

Alright chums, let's do this!

Garth Crooks team of the season is in and...

Ashly Young at LB, and Rafa Benitez manager of the season?

 

[Alan]

Benitez isn't the worst pick he could have made tbf.

 

[The Bear]

Pep absolutely walks it, not only for their style of play and the sheer amount of goals they scored, but also for being the first team to get 100 points.

If Mourinho had done the same he'd be screaming his own name from the rooftops and the media would be lapping it up.

 

[Langers]

Awful news - Jlloyd Samuel has been killed in a car crash.

Tragic.

FIFA want to bring forward their awful plan to increase the World Cup to 48 teams by 4 years for Qatar. You'll need a mortgage to collect the stickers

Im still not convinced the World Cup will take place in Qatar but 48 teams will ruin the tournament the same way 24 has for the Euros
