Yes, but you are deluded. You still haven't grasped that Hoddle was **** unless he had Gorman backing him.

Of course, nothing has changed in 4 months has it?

Why? Cedric is perfectly capable of playing 2 in 45 hours with or without head bandage. Koeman might inexplicably drop him of course. I think Clasie will start today, more suited to the Arsenal game. May not start against Wet Sham.

I sincerely hope we don't.

Will he? He hasn't so far despite 100 apps. He looked better under Adkins to be frank.

I may be wrong but I don't think he is eligible until January (needs to have his player registration transferred once the window opens). Played in 3 Capital Cup games for Boro (including a very good performance against Man U) and 1 sub appearance in the League. Criminal that he was allowed to go on loan there and not be used. Can't see why Koeman would suddenly promote him into the first team, he rarely plays young Academy players this season, but at least he is now training with the first team squad.

No, last season was last season. It is largely irrelevant to this season. Koeman has not developed/improved/even steadied the team. We lost one key component to how we play and have not replaced. We have not brought anyone in to even maintain where we were. Koeman has also regressed fitness wise. No-one serious is denegrating what Koeman did last year. Its what he has done or failed to do this season that is the problem.

Need to cancel or convert one of our existing loans before we could take him on loan. Window officially opens on the 2nd. Will be at least 4th January before this could happen due to the holidays and weekend. Really not sure I believe some of the other stuff, 18 month loan for instance, that's not even technically "legal", and why would we agree to anything tied up with Vic.

Of course it was, you stated that Chelsea beat Arsenal. I pointed out that Arsenal only had 9 men. How is that not relevant? Sorry to **** on your parade.

Actually it isn't. West Ham have an extra 4 hours and 45 minutes to recover, which in the context of 2 days is approx 10% extra.

Even minnows struggle with 9 men.

Exactly, in hindsight one of our easier games, and nothing to write home about.

Enough for what? For the Board to take action and replace Ron, probably not. To put us in relegation zone, probably, or very close. I predict 4 points, DLW or LDW

He is in the Koeman pre-match interview training video. But you are almost certainly correct that he cannot play until 16. Thought this had probably happened as he has not been in a Boro squad recently.

Of which at least 2 were by Davis. Shows how badf our front three are, ie the ones who should be getting the lions share. Long must also have 2. Pelle, Tadic and Mane are not leading the line by example.

You are then very naive if you think he doesnt know wage bill of his own players. Maybe not other teams, in the same detail.

You really think Koeman does not know the wages of his players? Of course he does. He would only need to refer to Champ Manager or whatever it is that MLG updates, to know it anyway of course.

It was beginning of last season.

Just watched the YouTube highlights on SaintsPlayer and the Saints commentator (not Motty) makes the same mistake. Bizarre.

Looks like some of the issue is that we have given up on him. Perhaps worth considering that there is actually a real problem that has not gone away. Unlikely anyone will take him in January if this is the case, and Ronald seems unwilling to play him, or at least the on-going medical issue is preventing him playing. I suspect he will be with us until mid 2016 when he will be out of contract.

2 yellows this season as far as I can see. This reputation is seemingly ill deserved.

So what do you propse instead! James Ward and Prowse. Your so cslled observations of Davis are so far wide of the mark as to be laughable.

Well if you didn't see that it got worse after he went offthen clearly you were not paying any attention. We became a total shambles and lacked any drive, pace or momentum. Happens every time. Totally agree he had a poor game Saturday, but whether you like it or not he is key to our game. Until we find a replacement Ronald will continue to pick him as one of the first names on the team sheet.a

So actually Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City are looking at him, meanwhile we haven't actually watched him yet because our wonderful scoutung dept hadn't realised he was injured. :-( Les Reed still looking at his old haunts. Looks like a non-starter to me.
