Are we finally refusing to be pushed around in the transfer market?

    All this interest in a players that our manager rates as not good enough, reminds me of M'Vila for some reason, I also rated both Coates and Vergini when they were here, these four are a lot better imo than what we are putting up with now under this miserable t**t, who does not seem to know his **** from his elbow. <doh>

    Its a managers job to get them playing surely, and both managers failed imo, Allardyce made up for it with his singnings, Moyes has not, effort is one thing but it wont get you far in this league unless its allied to quality, and its this we are so short, no pun intended. <ok>

    No no no,Commachio, not the finished article maybe and good coaching was needed, but both had quality. I am a big fan of South American football and I still read that our Claudio was ranked alongside Gareth Hall by some, but their you go. <laugh>

    Totally agree, but is it them or us, that's the question, only Julio has cut it, in my opinion, its "just one of those things", I'm in very whimsical mood to-day, something to do with no points at stake probably, I am even enjoying the international break for once.

    I find it quite concerning that we've regularly failed to get the best out of highly rated foreign players. Especially those that haven't played elsewhere in the UK before coming here.

    He certainly looked up for it in his brief appearances at the start of this season. Unfortunately, Moyes took someone else's opinion on the player rather than forming an opinion of his own. Allardyce was wrong to not perservere with him.

    He looked fitter than ever at the start of the season.

    A half arsed Lens is better than Januzaj and Borini put together at the moment.

    I think januzaj is unbelievably talented. Just looks like a prima donna. Borini has been poor but I reckon Lens will offer little more if any. Everyone raves about allardyce not suffering players who wouldn't give enough. He wouldn't put up with lens. Thats why I think he'd be no better (not necessarily worse but no betyer) for us

    I agree, 4 points from each of the next two games will see us survive!

    Really? Hows that then?
    Those above us will still have to lose.
    Burnley at home sunk us for me.
