Well I expect us to win. We usually do a bit better at home than away and we might be able to put out a better side.

Torres was pretty good in the 2010 WC as well. Players peak and then drop away. All I remember about that final was the brutality of the Dutch.

Ah, I thought he said he didn't say that at all.

that being ?

Not really a "defector" but I notice that Gaston hasn't been included in the Uruguay preliminary 27 for the Copa America. Now that could be prejudicial to us if we had any remaining illusions about selling him (or even loaning him) to another English club except Hull.

It's a bit harsh all that, nevertheless we have spent 70 milion £ on inward transfers and our tail end of the season should be better.

Sakho was at St Etienne for a few years, only remember him as bog standard for the time. He's no spring chicken either, might be a sort of West Ham or Hull player but certainly not top of the table material.

In the Championship...and we've all seen just how much promoted teams struggle in the PL nowadays. The gap is too wide in general.

We had injuries last season as well, the nub of the affair is that last season Rickie,Jay and Adam scored 37 goals between them, how many have the current shower of shît that we call strikers scored?

Arsenal want to sign him dontcha know, him and about 36000 others.

Absolutely, Davis and Gazzaniga have played a handful of matches between them, we not scored in so many more.

Anyway with Elia perhaps the FA commission will notice him going over the top on Mahraz and give him a suspension. Doubt if we'll get that lucky though.

And yet when we dropped Pellè we got one of our better results of the season, Koeman's blind faith in him makes no sense whatsoever.

Well then why did he refuse to discuss Gazzaniga on the You Tube video, there's a link on another thread. 3 minutes in, he's absolutely categoric about it, doesn't discuss individual players...although we know he does when he slagged off a couple after the Everton loss.

Absolutely, mind you I thought that was Adkins, well so i read on this forum anyway.

ie he likes living near London and not in Southampton, he also thought that he was treated abominally by Adkin's sidekick but that probably isn't public knowledge.

Not on the video I saw, he said he didn't discuss individual players. Perhaps before the match he gave that reason, afterwards he categorically refused.

Looked like he got a mega elbow in the face, might have injured his knee going down like a sack of crap I suppose.

Who Gazzaniga ? personally I'd compare him to the average 15 year old kicking about on Sholing Rec.

Well I'm sure that he doesn't sign them all by himself. We were without a recruitment manager for a while though and he no doubt profitted from that to bring in players he personally rated.

I see that Koeman categorically refused to discuss the reasons for the selection of Gazzaniga.

Like picking Gazzaniga you mean...dead giveaway.

3 million £ against nothing in a few months time, purely commercial, there was no reason not to keep him until the end of the season, we took the cash that's all.

Won't get much for the price of Elia....not that it's a reason to keep him...Koeman binkie.
