So you've now accused the kid of having a bad attitude, not working hard, and attempted murder. Anything else?

Indeed, so I'm unsure why you think that his asking for a move because he wants to play suggests a bad attitude.

Wanting to play and not wanting to sit on his arse hints at a great attitude.

Nothing wrong with Charlie. Done well for himself by hard work, and expects people to graft for their money. Taken a firm stand on anti vaxers too. Shit hair though.

He handed in a transfer request because he wants to play, if not here, then somewhere else. That's very different to not wanting to be here.

I'm surprised you feel the need to ask.

Each to their own, but personally I think that benefiting from your own team getting relegated is a disgrace.

Has anyone on here actually said that they've bet on us to go down? If so, I hope they lumped loads on and lose. Never bet against your own club. That said, people are entitled to take the view that we could go down. I'm confident that we won't, but if we lose the next 3, it'll get interesting.

Nail. Head.

Nice. Is Monday too soon for him?

Half of your first sentence is correct.

Personally I prefer the boredom of 1 nil wins to the excitement of 9 nil defeats.

Yep, although I'd prefer to keep our shape, we can't keep doing what hasn't been working. That's about the best we can go with.

I've seen him in the u23's and he definitely stood out. In a good way. Strong, good positioning, gets his head up, passes forward and quickly, carries the ball forward well - generally a very good footballer. What about his play didn't impress?

True, but It shouldn't be an option for Everton!! He's an average CB who can fill in at full back. If he's not felt good enough to cover RB, it'd be mind boggling if he's felt good enough for midfield.

They would struggle, but the issue goes deeper than that and it's easy to make excuses. We take the lead, then lose it. We lose a goal, then fall apart. That's down to more than injuries.

You completely overlook that after being watched in training and B team games, that Jankewitz was felt good enough to start at Old Trafford. Forget talking about Vokins and Valery, they're gone, the issue here is Jankewitz playing in midfield rather than a defender out of position.

What's Finnigan like? Never seen him.

It's not a question of numbers, rather that if our best midfield prospect can't a game ahead a very average defender playing out of position, you have to question what's going on.

Dreadful is harsh, but he's as much a Premier league central midfielder as he is a premier league centre forward or winger. Playing him there would be ridiculous, and show complete contempt for Jankewitz, and the academy concept.

Because neither are good enough. Valery is on the bench at Birmingham, and Vokins on the Sunderland bench in league 1.

Ha!! Stephens starting ahead of him would be ridiculous. The kid deserves another chance.
