Premier League 22-23

[bazza]

If I were a Saints fan I would be fuming at this appointment. I think they'll get relegated now.

[superniko]

Southamptons appointment reminded me of this beauty….I always get great joy reading the comments back at when they sacked Adkins and got in Pochettino, well worth reading the replies…

Big risk for Jones in a lot of ways as well. One he had to take, obviously, but after bombing so hard at Stoke it would be very damaging to his reputation to bomb again as soon as he's outside of the familiar surroundings of Luton.

[Upside Down]

When opportunities present themselves in life you have to take them.

It's a gamble from both parties but sometimes that's what you have to do. 

[Mattyblue]

Of course he has to take it. Personally don’t think it will work out, him and Luton just seem well matched, but he will want to back his ability and test himself at the highest level.

But even if he tanks he’ll be set up for life as he’s been given a three and a half year deal at a PL club.

Lampard at Everton can't have much more time until he goes

The Premier League is very tight points between the bottom half teams with only 6 points between 11th to 20th. 

I would stick with Lampard and I think Everton will. They need stability and not keep swapping managers every season 

[Mattyblue]

They cannot afford to get relegated when in the midst of building a new ground, so if there’s a chance they might, he’ll be potted.

[chaddyrovers]

I don't think Everton will get relegated anyway with Lampard in charge. Some very good quality players there. I would say will finish between 10th and 13th

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Villa are reputedly looking to sign an “ A List Striker “ in January. Is BBD an “ A List Striker “ or a “ B List Striker “ ?

[Mattyblue]

Good job they have some decent players as ‘Lamps’ himself ain’t going to be a differentiator…

You certainly have a soft spot for either Everton or Lampard. 

They will be bottom 6. Calvert-Lewin is out again for who knows how long. Without him they find goals hard to come by. Tarkowski and Coady at the back, with Pickford in goal will keep them safe.

I would think Villa will look to Spain for that striker. 

Rovers won't be selling BBD in January in my opinion.

Down to opinion but I would Lampard has been differentiator there already in my view. Plus he can attract good quality players like Coady, Tarkowski, Maupay, McNeil, etc. 

[Mattyblue]

Why would Everton not been able to attract relegated Burnley players, a player from Wolves who had fallen out with his manager and a Brighton player otherwise?

I always like Lampard as a player. 

On Everton, I think they have enough quality players to reach 10th to 13th positions this season.

So you don't think having Lampard isn't a pull for player when he has different offers for clubs to consider?

[islander200]

Brererton only has to wait 6 months and then he can choose himself which club to join.

Brererton would be daft signing for a relegation threatened club in January.Could end up back in the championship after only a few months.

Don't believe we would accept £10 million for Brererton if our league position is as healthy come January m

For those players you listed, no.

Sorry Chaddy but this is clearly not the case.  Check out the transfer link below for previous transfers:

Big players coming into Everton including from Real and Napoli. That shows that they could attract talent without Lampard. 

[BigBar]

Brentford in front at City and have been exceptional. Could have had 2 or 3 in the first 15 mins.

I’d honestly think Lampard would have the opposite affect on a player. They would be less likely to want to play for Everton with him there. 

[roverandout]

James maddison off with an injury.  Had to happen.  Typical English disease.  Fifa shouldn't be allowing matched to go ahead a week before the world cup.  Madness

[roversfan99]

Typical English disease? A number of players from various countries have had to miss out due to injury.

Yes but every tournament.  Rooney Beckham Gerrard owen

[Mattyblue]

Every tournament? Aren’t they players from 10/15 years ago?
