What really pisses me off with regards to Huddlestone, Jelavic etc. is the fact that, ok they have had an alleged 50% reduction in wages, they still earn more in a week than the average fan does in a year.

The fact that they can't be arsed shows me the utter contempt in which they hold the fans. If that is case then the sooner they **** off the better. That goes for any other player with that attitude as well. No need for anybody to come back with the "But it's only a short career" because they earn in a year what the average fan earns in a lifetime.

I genuinely don't think they just can't be arsed. I think that's one of those bullshit football cliches that PLT loves.

The problem is that Elmo has been used basically as a RB since he's been here, so now he's probably confused when to get forward & when he should stay back & cover Moses!
Also I was expecting a player with a name like Moses to be waving his hand & parting the opposition right down the middle!<cheers>

Elmo has played right wing a few times before and been fine. He must be being told to play differently now to how he's played before.

To be honest I really don't understand why the buyout clauses aren't time limited like many other teams do i.e the clause is only in effect until 2 weeks before the window closes. If the players refused to agree to that they should have been moved on at that time instead of giving them such a powerful contract. Now it could put us in a position where we are stuck with half a squad until January, ridiculous planning from the club, is this something on their CV which we can question?

We can bring in loans.
 
Logged in for the first time in a long time. After reading a ton of drivel thought I would put on an actual rumour.. Sports Talk mentioned this morning that we are in for Vito Mannone again who wants to leave Sunderland. Would be happy with that..
 
Not so sure about that LBIA, Vito has plenty of mistakes in him too.
Yeah I agree. When he came to us on loan he looked an outstanding shotstopper, but then so can McGregor be. My memory isn't that great but as I recall his distribution and the odd error, in a similar vein to McGregor made him a bit of a liability. Maybe he's improved with age. I'd still rather have Bentley.
