'Good chat with Harry. He wants committed players. Players with the right attitude. Also wants new pitch at Loftus which we have agreed' 'went to dressing room after game. Talked to players. It's clear who is committed. Last man to leave who was gutted Chris samba. There were others' 'Clear to me who's is committed and who is not. I will clean up and have right attitude. Let's will change' 'Yes if it comes to that. RT @MMilnerr @tonyfernandes Will Samba play for you in the championship ? Interesting, Harry and Samba to stay?
Good if they do stay, stability and players with the right attitude is the perfect platform to launch our comeback...
I seem to recall that when Tony brought Chris Samba to LR he said that he would be playing at LR next season come what may. These are really encouraging tweets. Actually making me look forward to next season all ready.
I think he would spend most of the season in the treatment room with the standard of NCP centre half's
Do hope so. All sounds encouraging though. I know yet another clear out and rebuild is soul destroying, but it really is the only way i feel. Get rid of all the mercenaries who don't give a ****. Remember though, that some mercenaries do give a **** and try 100%....Remy/Samba for instance. Samba hasn't played very well, but I believe he cares....unlike Bosingwa, SWP ("once a blue, always a blue"),Cesar, Granero, Zamora, Hoilett, Park.
All positives aside. I'm afraid our Tone comes over as naive again. Unless he's going to pay of the wasters he's referring to out of his own pocket then I'm afraid he is in for yet another rude awakening. Some of the **** we're stuck with is near impossible to shift unless we take the biggest hit. And that is a price I'm afraid TF is not willing to take. Meaning we're stuck and will have difficulties to rebuild under the new financial fair play rules.
What signs have you felt show that Zamora and Cesar don't give a toss? In fact, what about SWP, Hoilett and Park too?
Have to disagree slightly, SWP may be a bit ****e but always gives 100%, would say the same for Zamora as well.
It has been widely reported that BZ has fallen out of love with the game and that he refused to even eat with the rest of the squad. It has also been reported that Hoilett hasn't had the best of attitudes on the training pitch. Park has looked a shadow of the player we thought we'd signed and is rumoured to be wanting to retire at the end of the season. Cesar, although he's made some great saves, has not looked too upset after games to me. As for SWP..........maybe I was a tad harsh. He does try, although I'm not sure he really cares. He tweeted "once a blue, always a blue" referring to Citeh.
I have serious doubts with all these insights into whether players give a F*ck or not. Only been to 2 games this season, and though I have seen about all the rest on TV or PC, it is not so apparent "remote" to see how much a player is giving as it is live. Nevertheless, I think they all care, I'll even include Park in that, I think he is not much better than useless now, but I can't critise his effort, his legs don't get him there because he's past it physically, not because he don't give a sh*t.
Did you the see the way Cesar strolled back to his goal after half time at Wigan game, when it was 0-0 and still had a realistic chance of staying up? Told you all you need to know.
Agree with Cesar, attitude is ****. Granero is just lost and doesn't know what to do. Park was ruined by heaping the responsibility of the whole club onto him (when made captain, whilst still trying to find his own game), I think Park is playing much better at the moment and could be very useful next season. I have just a feeling about him, that he may just have something to prove to himself and to us. Samba has not been the hit he and we thought he would be...it is not so certain no he will leave, but I doubt we can afford him...But Remy has been a success and will go. Zamora and AJ will do a job, but we need a young hungry striker. Hoillet has now taken two teams down with him too, his reputation is shot!! If he is playing up on the training field too, Harry will get shot of him. I am so split between cutting costs and taking players who will do a job. I know most of you say get rid of the lot...But I think a few egos have been scarred and may have something to prove. Park is one, Samba maybe another
