He's not a starter based on the defenders we have at the moment and that's saying something but no way is he coming here in World Cup year to sit on the bench, he'll be a starter and that is messed up because he's not good enough ahead of the other defenders and that' saying something. Poor poor signing if it happens. Absolutely shambles of a signing one which i wont be getting behind im afraid… extremely disappointing month on and off the pitch tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's going to be competitive to get into the top 8. Its the PL. Lets wait until the end of the window before coming down with definitive judgement.

We really are going to be left behind if we don't address our central problems. Going to be an interesting 7 days. We'll have to see how a technical player like him feels about playing for Moyes after a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 This is such dishonesty here’s what the journalist said a week ago: The fee is what he hopes the club would get that’s all. He says there’s no firm interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our performance in the last 3 league games only. If we'd won the last 3 games we'd all be on a massive high and be eulogising over the squad depth, with various players being lauded for their performances and the club just needing to fill "perhaps one spot" with a quality upgrade. As it stands, its the opposite, we've won one and lost two with mostly car crash performances, therefore all other clubs business is looking amazing, our squad is dogs**t and we need a huge overhaul before the end of the window just to stand still Most of that is in jest, but you get the point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say most of that is in jest but generally it’s is spot on the mark. Your not doing yourself justice with regard to the accuracy of this appraisal.

CarryOnVilla Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The whole idea of signing Jan Bednarek is disappointing, and more so compared to all the CB we've linked to. however i rather get in a loaned CB than buying one this summer ,our money is better spent elsewhere. rather not have Bednarek, but if he's a cheap loan, then i'm chill with that. Alright for cover, i suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, until we see him in our team, its hard to judge, as players respond differently in different teams. Like you, not been impressed with him at Southampton.
