oldtype Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Now that Big Sam's been sacked, what's going to happen to his signings? I'm not even worried about the ones that've been shit, like Rozhenal, Smith, and Geremi. They'll either get better or be frozen out of the team by the new manager. (I'd hope that we'd see some improvement from Geremi, at least.) But what about those who've been playing well, like Beye and Faye? Will Big Sam leaving have a negative effect on them? I'm particularly worried about Faye. He seems to have a close relationship with Big Sam, and if I recall correctly he wanted out of Bolton as soon as Big Sam signed for us. Would hate for his preformances to go down now that Big Sam's gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Worried about Beye and Faye to be honest. If we appoint a manager in January, and back him, it is likely that the new manager will look at the team and think: "Strikers fine, midfield fine, goalkeepers fine, defence......aah." And then he'll go out and splash the money on hisown choice of defenders without Beye and Faye getting the chance to show what we know they can do, due to the ANC.

Only if it's likely we appoint a bad manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Mort wanders down to the nearest zoo and appoints a baboon as a manager, I don't think he's going to reach this bizarre conclusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hopefully Sam's decent signings will be fine, and the shit ones will be out the door. It will be a good test of the new manager whether or not he buys into 'all our problems are down to the defence' myth... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 allardyces signings will be in the same position as the rest. new manager comes in and decides who he'd like to keep and who he'll try and get rid of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Liam Liam O Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 allardyces signings will be in the same position as the rest. new manager comes in and decides who he'd like to keep and who he'll try and get rid of.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hopefully, the same thing that happened to some of Dalglish's new signings when the new manager came in (ie, Speed, Hamann, Given, Dabizas & Solano performed well). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 The very minimum I would like to see from our new manager is to refuse to pick Smith anywhere other than Striker unless its an unavoidable crisis. I think everyone would be worried to be honest, not just Sams players. Someone like Enrique will probably be chuffed he probably doesn't understand how someone can pay 6 mill to bring a player to a foreign country only to be kept on the bench by a Left Winger!

Fergie played Smith as a midfielder. As for Enrique, most proffessionals outside of Newcastle rate Milner and Duff, so the new guy may choose to stick with N'Zogbia at left back.

Dokko Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Sell them, was speaking to manu fans before who MISS Smith! We can get rid of them without too much financial deficit, new manager, new ideas, can move players around without suspecting clubs finding out that they are just actually shite.

Dave Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Smith is clearly rated by managers, or they wouldn't have bought him/selected him and persevered with him. Don't count your chickens just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dev Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Scott Parker was 'rated' by managers in a similar way. Robert and Bellamy were not rated by managers. I reckon the fans generally have a fairly solid idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 What happens now? - hopefully Barton gets the sack, and Smith gets dropped. If Beye and Faye don't wonna stay thats pretty unprofessional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
