What is the fcuking point signing Haaland if you are going to be opened up at will by top class strikers.
When Cancelo gets injured or is exhausted becuase he plays to much we will be ripped apart by very good teams.
Forget this net spend BS, designed to make the Dippers look great, and get our LB position sorted and get some more depth in the squad.
The point signing Haaland is if we get ripped apart by these very good teams we've got more chance of scoring more at the other end and who are these good teams who will rip us apart. We lost 3 league games last season and none to the 2nd and 3rd place.
We got ripped apart by RM the last couple of minutes but if we'd have had Haaland we'd have been out of sight the 1st 20 minutes of the home game.
Yep.
Fair points - over reaction by me.
My concern is that we could be more vulnerable to giving up cheap goals (on the break) to teams with good strike forces.
They could target a specific weakness if Cancelo is injured or knackered. Zinch is gone, so who else can do a good job against the top strikers?
For ex against, Kane/Son, Salah/Diaz, Jesus/Martinelli, Aubameyang for Chelsea and the likes of Bayern and RM.
I realise that this is a worst case scenario and very pessimistic view but I think we got away with it last year and we have less cover at LB this year.
Watch on
