Well I must say I was completely wrong and why did we not start with Forshaw he would have been chumping at the bit to have played the whole game
Morning mike.. With Felix in goal and all the usual suspects playing as they do would have made no difference. Team with no motivation, a lack of talent and the only thing changing is the increasing rate of decline, If Orta is still here in April when we start looking at planning for next season we will be relegated next season. Even you would be better at scouting talent. Btw you coming to the Wednesday game. I owe you a drink.
Good Morning Glory Well I can hardly say no to an offer like that but it will depend on the weather since my TB cold weather kills me I have difficulty breathing so in the words of Asquith in 1912 I will have to wait and see
I saw motivation, we are simply not good enough Hard to tell who is good enough, because we have a number who obviously are not and that pulls the team performance down If PH is any good he will have worked it out and already be saying who he wants rid of, who we must keep, who/what he needs to come in for a realistic push next season I have no idea at the moment if he is any good, did not rate his decisions yesterday but time will tell
Havent we both been tits long enough? I wouldn’t have mentioned it if I didn’t mean it. Get yourself along if it won’t make you ill. Everyone would love to see you again.
Saiz won’t be here,Pontus won’t be here. Who else are you suggesting is good enough and has the attributes that mean they are worth keeping in a quest to get out of this league ( ideally upwards).
That is their first priority. The reason they will leave is Rad wont pay them enough. We need a lot of better players, but players like Berardi, Cooper, Ayling, Forshaw, Vieira (in time), Lasogga, Phillips, Alioski are good enough to be in the 16+ who form core of squad
Do you think that Cooper Beradi Phillips have got what we need for promotion because I don't We need Joe Bryant Tom Cearney two CB if Pontus leaves and 2 more midfield players if Samu leaves and most importantly a proper goalkeeper as Orta doesn't recognise one
The reason they will leave is they both think they are good enough to play week in week out in a top league. Only one of them is correct. Both if they have a clue will know neither will manage it here with. Rad using Cellinos business model, Orta selecting the transfer targets or Mike Bassetbotyom doing the coaching. The money is a bi product of playing in the prem, la liga or serie A not the end in itself.
We also need two strikers that are more mobile than a penguin up a tree. The rebuild is £30mill-£40mill minimum..
I think they are good enough to be in a squad, the issue is we need a large number of better players. Boro spent £50m and they are only in 6th. If we lose the 2-3 better players then we need best part of a full 11. We are not disagreeing, unless you have a billionaire owner you have to have lesser players in your squad. Can’t see it happening as Rad can’t afford it.
