Wasn't he seen at the Nuffield Clinic as well ? Seems that he just likes to thank people who've helped him in the recent past, does it a lot although only recently on Twitter.

In fact they figure at the end of the gallery for Sunday's game so they were evidently in some form of light training even then, pity neither of them was able to contribute 20 minutes or so at the end of yesterday"s game.

Absolutely, it's what happens after you brush the ball with your laces that counts, if you clatter a player as he did then you're as likely as not to get sent off.

Ah but the French press seem desperate to get him to what they consider a "proper club". 10 sport wrote a lot of bollax about him last summer as well, can safely be ignored.

What's with all the sticky tape on Victor's GPS bib then, did he burst it asunder in a sort of Hulk like way or is it an old brand that hasn't been replaced despite Garmin sponsorship.

I think that there have been significant changes in the sports science and injury management structures this season. That is not to say that they contribute in any way to our plethora of recent injuries though, perhaps it's the juggling.

Just as well then, it was a non-starter despite what all the Brian O'Neil and Denny Hollywood fans might think.

And as the ref had seen them going at each other over by the touch line just a few minutes before, the red was an absolute nailed on certainty for that challenge, if they hadn't clashed in an ugly way just before then he might have got away with a yellow.

In fact having looked at yesterday's game again I'd be happy to see him back because Pellé doesn't get onto half of the chances that our wide men create, he's just not where he needs to be when he needs to be. He's a target man 20 yds out but he's no sniffer dog in the box. We need better to maximise the work the wide men are doing.

No we should keep him and try to get him to score a goal or two for us, if we have to pay him anyway I'd hope we'd not be stupid or arrogant enough to put him on garden leave when we're desperate for a bit of variety in attack on occasions.

In fact Ben Arfa has been refused his transfer to Nice because he played for Newcastle in an U21 game and then Hull,no end of appeals and what have you but at the end of the day even an U21 game is classed as official nowadays.

Coquelin was on his way out, he was on loan at Charlton to finish his contract before being sent off into the wilderness, lad has done quite well of late but they'll want better than he eventually, the price is going to be the sticking point as per usual.

Of course but they may not even actually bid for him again and I doubt he'll be duped by them for an nth time. Arsenal want everyone but there is always a limit to what they're prepared to pay. I think we'll hold out for far more than they'll pay.

Getting the ball is no longer acceptable if you take out everything within a 6 yd radius in doing so. The criteria is apparently that if your tackle is reckless enough to put the physical integrity of an opponent in cause then it's a straight red no matter how much of the ball you get. It was a red because he scythed him down in the aftermath.

What I'm saying is that this "deal" has been done and dusted so many times apparently and then come to nothing that you just don't know what to accept as reasonably reliable any more. Still think he might just end up at the AS Rome myself. Agent is very close to them and Garcia is a known admirer, they can sell Strootman to Utd for more than any man can possibly be worth and get Morgan for half of that.

Know what, with Morgan and Arsenal I'll believe it when he's holding up his Arsenal shirt at the Emirates and not before. Agent's cousin told me that Wenger was all over him in Brazil last summer, everything was settled, fiancée got a job in London and all and then it all fell through because they didn't even put in a proper bid.

Are we interested in any players who are not dutch,have played in Holland or will play in Holland at some future date? It all seems very dutchophilic to me just now. I'm sure that they're all fine players but there's a whole wide world out there to choose from.

What can you say, it has been decided that way, nothing we can do to change it. Don't think he was a particular favourite of RKs anyway.

Not as I saw it no, Reed wasn't moving us forward in any realistic way, neat and tidy apart from the odd stray pass but he wasn't making much impression on the game.

Well I think we've sold Cork because he wasn't interested in the new contract he'd been offered and we chose a couple of million over his presence for the last 16 games of the season.

Thought he went for the ball at first and got it, then he decided he chop down Barrow with a sort of scissors movement, think that's what got him the card.

Static perhaps but certainly not exactly where he should be exactly when he should be like all the great strikers of the game. Our wide men are putting ball after ball into the box, he's not got onto them at all today.

Is he a work permit jobby ?

JWP has been Ok but he really needs at least one of the 2 midfield enforcers in the side with him. They dictate play, shore up the defence and take those tasks away from all of the other midfielders. In short Vic and Morgan make us tick, we can get through one game without them both especially against a wimpy side like Newcastle but Palace and to some extent Swansea have just shown us that without both of them we are weak and ineffective when it comes to running midfield.

But KBilly did tell us that we can't afford to actually buy a top striker, he's not usually wrong. Also I think RK is on record as saying we're not looking for a striker just now.
