Brucie has said he wants 8players but I think it could turn out to be more than that when all the loan players go back and what have ya. Looking at our squad Craig Gordon Phil Bardsley Kieran Richardson Michael Turner Lee Cattermole *** Bolo Zenden Steed Malbranque *** Frazier Campbell Jordan Henderson *** Marcos Angeleri *** Christian Riveros David Meyler Titus Bramble Simon Mignolet Jack Colback Anton Ferdinand Stephane Sessegnon Asamoah Gyan 18players and the ones that I have put *** infront of IMO they won't be with us next season, Bolo I think will move on he wants regular football and still he cannot get a start with all these injuries, the 2 south american's there is no secret Brucie wants them out and Fraizer he wont be back till 12months at the earliest so we can rule him out. That gives us a squad of 14 players and Brucie has gone on record saying he wants a group of 24-25players especially after what has happened this season. To me looks like we are in for a very busy summer, think we will be the busiest club in the premier league this summer.
don't really care if he is, no doubting he's a decent player, but is he the player to build a new team around? i take on board about peoples view of him, and he is a talent, but is he needed anymore than say bent was? reckon it's time to go back to tried and tested forwards, gyan shows flashes, but nothing substantial...
Gyan needs better service than he is getting and also someone to help take the pressure off him. However for me they can replace every player as long as the replacements are better! We need a top quality tactically astute coach.
talk of shifting on Gyan is a joke, he is a class act and we need to keep our better players not sell them. All if's and buts but if we had not suffered half of the injuries we have had I am sure we would of had another 9-10points on the board and that would give us 7th spot going into the last 3games like I said all if's and buts. Brucie and Quinny aint daft they took a gamble when Bent went without replacing him and it hasn't payed off, they will learn from this and will make us better next season. Brucie was the top man 3-4months ago, we just need to get behind him and the lads
agree with poolie_mackem we have been caught short on our squads lack of depth we do need 6-8 players but we also have good young players coming through our youth system who in the future deserve a chance
