Uh oh. Not good news for the club.
-
I think he knows the game, but I'm not sure how effective he will be in communicating with the team.
I think they'll do well.
-
I'd just like to point out that Chelsea played with four center midfielders today, so it's understandable that Reid and Savage had a difficult time.
-
How many did Chelsea bring?
-
I think Peter is injured, and welcome back Tugay!
-
Sounds like a nightmare debut for Ooijer. Zurab doing very well, so is Emerton.
-
Sounds like Rovers are getting more chances, but can't convert.
-
I don't know if I'm crazy or what, but the game certainly looks winnable to me.
EDIT: Rovers World says Neill at LB.
-
He's back after Sunday - three match ban.
-
I think that the team will look very different after the Chelsea game when Tugay returns. I can foresee us handing out a drubbing or two.
-
It looks like Emerton can do a job at fullback with Nelsen and Ooijer in the center and Zurab as cover.
-
When I see 'Ooijer' I want to say "weeger"
-
Awesome news, Hopefully that means the thug is now 4th choice?
Sorry, Bellamy left for Liverpool a couple of months ago.
-
Todd is still our second-best centre-back - at least until Ooijer joins and Nelsen is healthy again.
-
I think Nelsen will be rushed back for Everton. I hope so, at least.
-
From the text commentary it sounds like James is having a good game, as is Campbell, unfortunately. Also sounds like we're threatening most from set pieces.
-
That's not a flat cap - that's a percentage of income cap.
I'm suggesting capping total wages for all players over the age of 17 at the club at a certain number (probably different for each division, but not necessarily), like 750k pw for the squad.
-
How would a salary cap help? That would suit only the big clubs, with consistant high attendences, shirt sales etc.
Trading is an idea I like the best. If Man Utd want Bellamy, we'll have Saha tar. Arsenal want Reid, we'll have Gilberto and so on.
Also, like in America, allow trades like.... Chelsea want Duff, we'll have Gudjohnson and Zenden, as we think Duff is worth twice as much as both players.
Works well for everyone IMO.
It doesn't help the "big" clubs - it limits how much they can offer in wages. And it protects "smaller" clubs. And the line between big and small clubs will blur. It doesn't matter how much money you make after breaking even because it can't be pumped back into the team directly - only through stadium, training, youth, etc.
-
I fail to see how a flat salary cap could do anything but help Rovers and increase league parity.
-
1) Salary Cap
2) Revenue Sharing
3) Player contracts can be waived by clubs at any time
-
Tugay has definitely had 5 in the past, and maybe 8 as well?
-
Ooijer for 5?
-
1. Liverpool
2. Chelsea
3. Man U
4. Arsenal
5. Spurs
6. Rovers
7. Newcastle
8. Man City
9. Villa
10. Everton
11. Wigan
12. West Ham
13. Portsmouth
14. Middlesbrough
15. Reading
16. Fulham
17. Bolton
18. Sheffield Utd
19. Charlton
20. Watford

I'm a fan of Andy Todd who looked better than Zurab all of last season to me. Plus he had fewer red cards leading to us losing points.

Does everyone forget that Todd had Henry in his pocket last year? He is an excellent defender, and played much better than Zurab last year. Zurab comes in and has a decent game aginast Chelsea and all of a sudden he's better than Todd, who didn't even play against Chelsea?
