Yep...Xisco was Wise's doings but wasn't it under Shepherd's reign in summer 2007 when Souness brought in Smith?

This is the major reason for players like Smith certainly I reckon. I can't imagine Ryan Taylor being on much to be honest and he's useful backup. Smith just serves no purpose... especially considering his ridiculous estimated wages. It's hockey where the contract is bought but in football the player is bought and then he will be offered a new contract with other terms! We could just let them for for free but you're right about one thing(reminds me of one Aston Villa player from a few years back) when he's just happy to raise his huge wage week in week out and isn't really bothered is he playing or not! I guess Smith and Xisco won't be leaving even for free as they won't get contracts on similars terms anywhere else even if they were just let go...well it's all down to Shepherd's era when he tried to buy fans with these so called star players!

Something doesn't really fit to this Ashley's wage ceiling thing! Why is he keeping such players as Xisco(won't be given a chance in our lifetime), Smith and R Taylor on the wagebill which is already big enough and they aren't even considered as first-team players? It's like 130K a week just blown in the wind and at championship level most of the teams don't even reach that figure as total wage budget

Probably true just because of our high attendance...but it won't help Ashley to make any money of the club which he's clearly after.

We can't afford to buy as long as we have those high earning players on our wagebill anyway! Today to get rid of these over 50K a week players it's pretty much the only option wait their contract expire as they won't take a paycut even if it's possible to sell them. Would you really believe that Williamson(pretty much the same standard player than Taylor) is on a contract like 1/3 of Taylor's one? That's bad business IMO

Interesting to see some figures...certainly shouldn't be anything above 40K a week! If it's above that amoutn we're overspending hell of a lot money on our CB's with an average ability considering Colo's on that 80-90K a week

How many deflected goals we have conceded this season which no keeper in the world would have saved? And how many of those magnificent reflex saves you've seen young Tim make which have saved us many times already? There's no blaming Krul IMO! Defo he's better than Harper already

That happened like 40 meters from our goal so there are a lot of time to chase the ball back...but noone did that they just backed off when Tevez started to advance

Isn't that 3 for Krul a bit harsh? Lost the ball for the first goal but couldn't do much for the next 2 goals

Dont know about the first 2, but the third certainly was. No it f***ing wasn't. He tried to close down Johnson. Simpson let Tevez shoot. Yep youre correct, just saw the replay. Taylor didn't close down anyone! He just ran like a headless chicken! First goal...totally mistimed challenge/block for the ball which allowed Tevez to play it through to Barry. 2nd...didn't mark Tevel when he clearly saw that Colo had lost him behind his back and there wasn't anyone else for Taylor to mark. 3rd....Taylor just ran past Tevez and the ball and blocked Krul totally(he's just trying too hard and is outplayed all the time) while Simpson at least tried to mark Tevez. If Taylor just calm down a bit and think before he acts. His gfame is based too much on instinct which is toatlly screwed in the first place. Mark your man and let him do the initiative

It's got noting to do with luck! It's all Taylor!

Afraid...no fuck! It's a fucking guarantee if Taylor starts! All he can do is one of those stupid chest blocks he's trying

Okay...nothing to save so just snap De Jong's legs now!

Just one of those days...yet another deflected goal

What the fuck did Taylor do there again? He just run past the ball and Tevez??? Did his best to block Krul's attempt to close down Tevez

Goal attempts 16-7 for us...so unfair

Need to bring on Nile but after his comments on his attitude I don't think that's gonna happen! Big Andy is such a dominant player for us. It's like death certain relegation if Ashley sells him in January

Great...shots 10-6 and on goal 4-3 for us but the score is 0-2 Conclusion=Taylor is shit!

Hughton is the last man to turn this around for sure!

Well...Krul lost it but there was plenty of time to take it back but Taylor and Colo just backed off and allowed Barry to run into the space on the right flank

Is there anything else left than De Jong takes out another of our player?

from what i can tell krul cock up then tevez good goal Krul lost the ball but it was more due to a shitty defending there again as noone(Simpson's man) followed Barry

Back to classy Staylor-Collocini CB partnership which made us relegate...

Our defence didn't turn up today....why they didn't follow Tevez there?

Even his agent knows Steven doesn't deserve a pay rise but he's still trying it's his job anyway and let's say 5% fee of such contract would be a massive payday
