So we were or still are looking for a replacement manager then. NA probably needs 2 of 2 or Di Matteo will be in.

Another one of these young men who look incredibly middle aged.

I wouldn't, at least not until Mayuka had missed a couple of sitters.

as long as he's not absent on Saturday does it really matter why he went to Uruguay ?

And where exactly would he have seen him playing? In Switzerland...joke league, anyone would look good there. You'd have to say though on looking at the obligatory goals video that the player has an eye for goal which we'd seem to need just now. However as a straight up and down number 9 and as dropping lambert is taboo it isn't going to happen for a while, maybe when NA eventually gets the sack.

don't see that, Gaston isn't a real goal ace and if the chances that he creates aren't put away by others there's not much he can do about it, apart from going for goal himself and then as we've seen he often loses the ball. We need more efficiency in front of goal and for that we need to increase the ratio of chances converted by Lallana and Lambert.

next 2 games will determine our fate. Win both and we'll probably Ok, win one and draw one touch and go, lose either and it's all over. We should be OK by now but we threw away 4 points because we have an untried rookie in goal, now our future probably depends on 2 crunch games.

probably why NA is still in the job actually.

In fact there was a piece about Gaston in L'Equipe recently. They seem to think we paid 15 million € to Bologna and 3 million€ to Penarol for him. Says his annual salary is around 2.5 million euros. Anyway there's a quote from him in the piece that says no-one in Italy could afford him as there's no money.

Rubbish, wouldn't be the first (or last) footballer to be "loving it here" and then p*ss off 5 minutes later. Footballers are very simple beings in the main, being over the moon and sick as a parrot are just two stages in the wellbeing spectrum. Still no doubt there's nothing sinister in any of it.

probably get most of them for the price of 1 Gaston.

:rolleyes:

tried, totally incomprehensible.

not overly fussed anyway, if we can get our money back there may be players available more suited to our immediate needs.

that's what they said about Tevez though

I expect Lee to be gone very soon, he's not getting any PL time and he won't want to play in the Junior sides. Out of the door as soon as the window opens, probably back to Japan although german football seems to like japanese players.

don't think you can really judge players on what they do in the U21s or reserves. A couple of inadequate players around him can make any decent player look dire, just as playing alongside acomplished players can make a player look far better than he actually is. .

pity Adam and Gaston are 10 yards behind the ball though, guess Morgan must have either intercepted it or taken it off of a Liverpool player.

Lescott will be available, already snapped up by Everton more than likely.

Strange goal from Gardner though, ball travelled along the arc of a circle, Bunn completely misjudged it. Reckon Sunderland will get a point, Norwich are erratic, blow hot and cold.

the answer is in the title. In 1962 you went to the football, you did not have a "matchday experience". Caught the bus, paid at the gate and watched the match with a cuppa at half time.

If NA thought he was capable of actually offering something different wouldn't he give him some pitch time, 15/20 minutes or so? He's not going to get much better on the training pitch alone. One of SFC's great mysteries of this season. Yesterday we were crying out for someone to actually get onto Liverpool's defence and put them under pressure and try to make some space for Gaston and Adam, so we waited until nearly full time and brought on JRod, beggars all belief. Still the manager is doing it his way and his survival will depend on what that brings I guess. Still reckon he'll be gone sooner than most think, especially with Di Matteo available.

Club will be pleased as well,32K at top whack=a lot even if we do have to give half of it to Chelsea.

Guly still here on Jan 5th ? maybe not, he hates winter and he sure ain't going to get much PL game time, imagine his baggage is already packed.

Snowing, I hate that white crap all over the place. Cold too, have entered the period where we're lucky if the temperature gets above zero for weeks on end. Roll on retirement to the south coast.
