I'm baffled as to why Roeder continues to ignore Luque. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Yeah, i think 5 or 6 would be about right. As much as i'd love to see him do well, i just can't see it. However, i must protest about Boa Morte. Last season i would have took him but i'm fine with Zoggy and young Patterson. If we are going to get that kind of money we should get somone like Gareth Barry who can play in both positions.

Maybe he will perform better in the inter toto and the uefa cup (Touches wood) due to the slower pace. Then roeder could use this form in the premierleague.

Deary me. Explain the Deary me.

Yes I feel the same way about Luque he can unleash that brilliance sometimes and be a match winner and I hope we keep him. I think if we can toughen him up a bit without losing his technical skills he'll be a great asset to us, Owen can also be like that many times, quiet as a mouse for most of the game then all of a sudden he pops in two or three goals and wins the match for us If we have say six strikers which is what any good prem team should have. We would be looking at: Owen - Luque Dyer Ameobi Chopra We should be looking to sign one good striker i.e Kuyt,Bellamy or Gudjohnsen, that for me would be sufficiant for next season. The thing is under Roeder we have looked like scoring goals even with Ameobi and Chopra up front which is a positive thing.

Firstly i will point out that i'm a massive Luque fan, i even have his name on the back of my away top. Trying to be as fair as possible, i think Luque had a decent game. No more, no less. He does tend to give the ball away and doesn't close people down like Scotty Parker or Big Al. However, i simply don't think that is the type of player Luque is. He reminds me of Robert in many ways, un-believable talent but a questionable attitude. Luque in my eyes is the type of player who can un-leash a moment of brilliance at a moments notice, sometimes you won't even know he's in a game until he's scored the winner. Yesterday, i think he showed exactly that. People can't use "A lack of fitness" anymore, it's just not realistic. What does baffle me is why Roeder would leave him out of the team week in week out. Personally, i don't know whether i would like Luque to stay or not. We will soon find out.

Anyone know if it's on the radio anywhere

I like to think i'm the kind of supporter who would give people a chance, even if i didn't want them a manager. The truth is Souness simply isn't good enough, there is only so much that supporters can take. I honestly like the guy, his attitude and his will to do well for the club. Not to mention his transfer targets. I hate to say it but he has to go! bluesigh.gif
