Why are we still being linked with even more wingers in January.

Re: Kompany: time to go
On the Mission to Burnley series Kompany came out with a line which, I think, was it takes 150 training sessions and 120 meetings for the team to be performing how he would like. I think the full scale upheaval of the squad last year was badly needed and long overdue, so the lull in performances in the early part of last season where we were picking up a lot of draws was a price worth paying. The Championship is a league where a team can come back from having an average start and romp home just as we did.
We didn't need an overhaul this summer, IMO. We needed 2 or 3 blockbuster, quality additions to supplement what we had. The Premier League is a completely different beast and we can't start our season 3-4 months down the line. Massive mistakes were made in the summer. I think we got greedy and gambled on the players coming in being able to take it up another notch and, to date, none of them have IMO. There doesn't seem to be a plan, there's no cohesion, everything is too slow and laboured.
In spite of all this, I don't think it's time for Kompany to go. With the exception of 3 or 4, he has brought everyone of these players through the door and, in theory, if anyone can get them playing it should be him. He has a lot of credit in the bank from last year, both in terms of team performance and signings made. In another couple of months it might well be a different story.
I can take getting relegated when we're battling and beaten, but as it stands we're going down without a whimper.

Re: Kompany: time to go
Just have little patience with liars or attention seekers that's all. Now how is that screenshot of your bet going ?
You seem to not be as busy today, in fact you could have done it quicker than posting this guff
Re: Kompany: time to go
Write off Arsenal, if we loose at home to West Ham and especially Sheff, and in the same manner as recent defeats then things amongst the support could change very quickly.

The Muric one is so unbelievably.
We can see he should be playing, but he will be sold in Jan.

Re: Kompany: time to go
Well spit out what he's done then. If it's happened you're safe from libel. If it's so shocking your source can't be the only one who knows but you could even play two truths and a lie to protect them if you're that bothered.Lowbankclaret wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2023 10:48 pmWell I don’t honestly.

What do you think you offer to the rest of us by going wink wink nudge nudge say no more about it all? What's the actual point?

Spill the beans then, what did Muric do on planet lowbank.
If what you say is true nothing can happen, if what you are claiming to be the only person who know's and you can't say anything then you're lying, if you say this is why you can't tell the truth then you're lying. If you don't care what people think why would you lie ?
There is as much truth in this as your claimed coaching sessions you undertook at the club at the request of the manager.

Re: Kompany: time to go
I love it when people claim on a public forum that they are 'in the know' while offering nothing to back it up, but get all defensive when called out. This place sure does have its Walter Mitty's.

I would imagine he's alluding to his time at Sheffield Wednesday.

And Kompany has had a shed load more money to spend than Laws had at either Sheffield Wednesday or Burnley.fidelcastro wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2023 1:39 amJust seen that he has a worse record after 11 PL games than Brian Laws.

Re: Kompany: time to go
Seems a simple decision then, lets sack him and bring back Laws.
Then some will have the manager they deserve

Weird how you are ok to post it on twitter but not on here. Top marks though I couldn't have invented that had I tried, obviously had a lot of practice at bulls*****ng

With Muric still on the bench, is VK trying to meet the mafia halfway.

Lowbankclaret is probably a sound guy but he reminds me of that friend you could tell anything, and they'll run with it.
