TRon Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 This is what happens when the players that are promised moves to 'big clubs' in 1-2 years don't materialise. Who'd have guessed? Apart from the CL clubs this is an issue for most of the teams in the premier, even Spurs and Liverpool to some extent. They still manage to win some games and look like they give a toss. Yes Ashley is the source of it, but this season the manager can't really use that excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 We've lacked a British heart and spine for some time and we suffer for it. People dismiss it and point towards Colback and Taylor as an example of why we don't need it but it's irrevlant, we need quality British players, not just British players. That seems to get lost on a few. Noble isn't the greatest player in the world but he'd walk in to this team, if only Colback was as good as him we'd have somewhere to start. We need to go all out and bring in two or three very good British players, at least one with some leadership qualities. I think then we'd see a better core for foriegn talent to settle around and improve. Gone are the days you buy foriegn to add another dimension, now you buy foriegn because it's cheap, we've done too much of this then try to fill in the gaps with average to poor British players. Of course it's not working, it never really has Also whoever said Carr is buying players not suited for the league is correct. We need more mentally mature players with physical attributes that stand out. Too many shandy balls groomed to an inch of their lives are arriving who care more about having the status of a footballer rather than playing it. The balance of this club is fucked up, no doubt they try and fix that by going cheap on the continent again and not actually address any of the issues. The one area we didn't need English was the manager, but the stupid fuckers went there any way. We have no heart, no leader, no fight or character, I said many moons ago I can't identify with the club, it's not what it has always represented and of course this latest batch of players feel the same, but shit doesn't work out they move on, if not they refuse to play or stroll around not giving a fuck because there's no one in the dressing room ready to nail the fuckers to the wall for taking the piss. Shearer, speed, Nolan, Barton, Harper, even Bellamy would have knocked the fuck out of cisse for his performances this season while Tiote would have been driven out the club. Instead no balls colo only cares about what he takes home and once we stop paying him more than any one else will he's off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 If the rumours from the weekend turned out to be OTT and he's in a decent headspace, I'd chuck him in. He's shit but probably just a bit less shit than the others and he doesn't hide and plays with a modicum of passion. It mightn't be fashionable to admit it but we do need some fighters in there because it's not going to be skill that gets us out of this mess.

The College Dropout Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 If he's fit enough for the bench, he's fit enough to start ahead of Gouffran in central midfield.

Dokko Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Tiote has made himself unavailable for football for about a year. We should have torn his contract up in the summer and seen him in the courts. It's a damn shame as we miss him badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
