Fat Sam said something yesterday along the lines of ''until we hear Sunderland say he's not for sale we will continue to be interested'' How simple would that be for Ehab if this was the case?
My two biggest concerns are A - keeping snoddy (I am certain that won't happen though) B- keeping robbo, with a few left backs on the move I fear he is going to be snapped up, left back is one of those positions that after one or two move then clubs move
What a load of bollocks. I haven't criticised the players or manager. I've criticised the way they came & the way in which we have done the business. I believe it contradicts Ehab's statement that we're not a selling club. We are a smaller & thinner squad now than when Silva came. In what way have I spoiled the thread? I offered my opinion. Pattie pursued a point, despite being wrong, & unable to grasp the concept of concessions, I merely responded. I think, if you check, the ****ish behaviour was his. Bengalling stuck his beak in, as per his stalking personality dictates, with a load more bollocks. Do you not think I should respond to his continuous attempts at what is nothing more than attention seeking ****ism. I've done my best to ignore his pokes for a year now, I''ve let him set the level of the bar. He's set it. It's open house now. No holds barred. If you feel I was questioning your principles, I apologise. It wasn't meant to come over like that, it was meant as a generalisation of many people's attitudes since Silva came in. They appear blinded by it & as such are conveniently forgetting, or ignoring, the realities. I'd prefer if you highlighted which parts were lies.
More crap from you. Since Silva has come in, we've brought in 4 outfield players and lost 3. Abel and now Junior have also back, so there's another 2 (even if you don't want to count them, we still aren't thinner, we've gained one and there's expected to be 4 more coming in) Silva has made up far more balanced very quickly.
In: Evandro, Hernandez, Niasse, Bruce, Markovic, Elabellaoui Out: Henriksen, Mason, Davies (for a few weeks), Livermore
Well, for the Swansea game, we had 1 fit centre-half, we now have 4. We had no full back, or an out and out winger, now we do.
McGregor wasn't fit Jan 1st, and if you're seriously grasping at straws enough to claim that Elmo and Mbokani have been lost to the squad then you're being ridiculous. Bruce has himself said he is training with the first team and is fit, and Snodgrass is anyone's guess.
FFS are you that desperate that you're blaming Silva for weakening the squad because Davies has a hamstring niggle?
That's like saying we have 4 fit centre halves when we haven't. Where have I blamed Silva? It's Ehab selling before loaning. Planning short term.
If you don't want to count Davies, it's still more than there were available against Swansea. Even if you don't want to count Bruce, there's still more available than there were against Swansea.
