Bolo Zenden has admitted that his recent lack of action could spell the end of his time on Wearside. Do you think he should be given more games? http://www.rokerreport.com/2011/3/31/2082399/zenden-unhappy-sunderland I think so, especially with the run we're on we could use some experience.
I think he will move on in the summer, the lad isn't daft we are after better players all the time and as time goes on the less he will play. IMO he is good to come on for the last 10-15minutes when we are a goal up and need an experienced head in the side but is he happy doing that? By the sounds of it no If he stays great if he moves on no great loss IMO
difficult one this, im a bolo fan and would like him to stay as we are gonna need an experienced squad. ive stated on several times i dont see what muntari brings, but he had a decent match v england and is highly rated by many so he needs games to prove his worth so he will start. in order for bolo to start just who do you drop? im sad to say but at the moment he will be used as a sub, and not a bad sub to have. but is a vital part of the safc SQUAD
When Bolo has came on, he has almost always had a positive impact. I definitely think he should have had more time on the pitch.
I think with Richardson injured he could have a pivotal role to play. Not much to separate Bolo, Steed & Elmo, and the latter two haven't really worked of late, so why not give Bolo a chance?
I agree that Bolo is a positive influence on the park. I think although his pace has dropped (gone!), he uses the ball well consistently and keeps possesion. That said, i just don't see any place for him as a first 11 player, we are building a young side, and his influence on the young lads must be great, but we need to get to a level where, when fit, the same 11 are picked, and only the system is changed depending on opponents. I'd be inclined to put Sulley left, Catts holding, Jordan right and Sess nehind a fromt 2 of Gyan and Wellbeck, i can't see Bolo replacing any of those players, sadly. That's a great front 6.
Without doubt he's one heck of a pro to have in the squad, and at times in the season he's done a really superb job, but as others have said he is now a squad player. This is something that SB and ourselves are probably going to have to get used to it with "X player" saying....... "I want more games or I'm leaving".
With a fully fit squad, I think there isn't a place for Zenden, but at the moment we've got injuries, and are on a bad run which could do with things freshening up a little. No harm in putting him in for me.
Roker Report, You mentioned that Richardson was injured. With Jocky Bardsley probably going to RB who will we have for RB? will it be Anton? If all this has been done forgive me but I've just got back to Germany (where I live) from a couple of weeks home at Sunderland (I was at the Liverpool game) and I'm a bit out of the loop at the moment (no computer with me and my Ma wanted to watch telly but not news programs)
Last I heard on Bardsley & Rico was "doing better than expected" and injury "not as bad as feared"... will be doing a FULL sweep of the interwebs tonight to get the latest ahead of tomorrow's preview. I imagine one will make it, and probably Bardo (he's harder), with Ferdinand RB though at this point.
