So..... Douglas says he wants a contract extension but won't be given one. All whilst Roma hover

 

If hell froze over and we got a proper LB i wouldnt care.

He's reached his ceiling at this club, he won't improve anymore with this coaching team.

 

Never fails :lol:

He'll not be a world beater but he's got potential. It'll be realised with a decent coaching team.

 

Correct. He's got the attributes. He'd be good at inter. Not one of our left backs have come in and looked any better

 

He needs someone to instil a bit of drive into him. He sums up the apathy in the club at the minute.

 

I wouldn't trust Carver or Pardew to know how to coach a left back positionally for example. How is he meant to improve? Goes for any of the young lads.

Let's just laugh and make arsey comments though, instead of having a discussion.

 

Aye because your comment was in any way sensible ffs. It was 100% arsey and got what it deserved tbh. Lets not forget he didnt push on at Inter under Mourinho, was that his fault? End of the day he makes too many basic errors and mentally switches off too much for me so if we did replace him(like i said as Dummett is even worse) then it wouldnt bother me at all.

He was a teenager at Inter and playing in what was at the time, a new and unfamiliar position.

 

So your idea of discussion is to blindly make excuses and assume everything is someone elses fault? Thanks for the balanced view. :thup:

Why are people laughing at the notion of our coaching being the problem here? :lol:

 

 

 

If you think its his only problem then i would laugh at this as well tbh :lol:

To be contrary for the sake of it I'd imagine.

 

Aye.

 

Standard shit post to avoid discussing it.

You're forgetting we have:

 

Steve Stone: "We were tighter as a team. We kicked the ball longer."

John Carver: Loves fighting and being a twat

Alan Pardew: See Pardew thread

 

And that's pretty much it other than a fat, slightly retarded goalkeeping coach and an even fatter physio.

How many players have genuinely improved under Pardew? I think there's more than enough evidence to suggest that our coaching set up is probably canny wank like, we're so horrible on the pitch as a collective it's probably hard to tell though tbf.

 

Not going to disagree with the lack of merits in the set up. We all know its sub standard. The idea that Santons only issue is those who coach him like those muppets are saying is utter bollocks though. Theres excuses for him going backwards elsewhere though strangely enough

Nobody is saying it's his only issue, you are saying that. They've said that he's hit a ceiling here and will be better off going somewhere else. I find it canny difficult to disagree tbh.

 

Well its hard to tell when any discussion about something other than the coaching  part was completely ignored by everyone else here(you aside). My biggest point was i wouldnt care if he left as i dont think he is all that anyway

Mourihno told FCInterNews.it: “Whenever I find someone who has everything to become a top player and stay in the first team I’ve never held back in giving them a chance.

 

“I’m talking about Davide Santon who is now at Newcastle.

 

“Santon has suffered two great misfortunes.

 

“However, at 17-years-old everybody was saying that he would become for Inter what Paolo Maldini was for AC Milan.”

 

And Mourinho hinted that he had been frustrated in his attempts to bring young players through during his time at Inter.

 

He added: “Maybe in Italy they don’t know what is best."

 

For his part, Italian international Santon is thought to be content at Newcastle despite interest from big clubs, including Maldini's former club AC Milan, back in his homeland.

 

Earlier this year Santon's agent told Radio CRC: “I believe that Davide will remain in England because Newcastle want to count on him next season too.

 

“The club believe that he still has great room for improvement.”

 

If true, it is a philosophy that Chelsea's returning boss would surely endorse.
