I'm sorry but 3 hoofs up the pitch from Williamson in the general direction of Shola within the first 20min had doom written all over it...Can only be under instruction.

His financial compensation is built around various grey areas that IMO conflict with the good health of the club on the pitch.

The Hatem saga and watching the piecemeal dismantling of the confidence and self-worth of the lad is one of the saddest things I've witnessed in some time. He really is a shadow of his former glorious self. If I was his agent I'd tell him to get out ASAP.

He's on a percentage of transfer profit thought you knew that.

Brilliant thread title.

For all those slagging Hatem I hope we play long ball 442 to infinity and then some and then a bit more...Idiots.

Who the fuck was he actully meant to pass to today? Give me a name. One name!

Bollocks. The kid doesn't know when he's running into a brick wall. He goes missing for 65% of the game, he can't pick a pass and he's unfit. He needs games but those games can't be important ones, he tends to go missing in them. He needs to find a football club.

Anita and Santon were pure garbage. Both completely overwhelmed.

I rember when Ba and him used to laugh together as the opp were left scratching their heads. Seems a lifetime away.

Has to play on the right. Seems a bit sad these days...No Ba making runs for him and surrounded by workrate donkeys. Hope he leaves in the summer for his own sake...One of the saddest things watching a genuine flair player reduced to this. Fly Hatem fly! While you still can.

Thought he was honest and demure. Beaten man look about him...

He's not match fit and being left out for ages has shorn him of his usual confidence sadly. I wouldn't pick him out today.

Santon has been dreadful.

We're somewhere between 38-45m + pounds up on transfers + extra TV money. No excuse not to get a couple of much needed players in this window.

At any other club the Grenier deal would have been agreed verbally in good faith before the Cabaye transfer...Just leaving time for papers to be drawn up. All this haggling over prices is a big clue that we've never been TOTALLY serious about spending in Jan.

Can he heal us?

Keep that sort of stuff out of the thread mate.

Couldn't speak French.

This will happen.

Get rid.

They're not going to take any of this 11-12m bullshit. Waste of time.

It was a financial/profile raising decision to come to the Premier League. Nothing to do with wanting to play in the CL. He left a club that was set to play CL football to come to us in the first place. Correct.

They will want 20m euro.

Needed a run out tonight and with Sissoko our best player.
