G Somerset Rover

No offence Graham because I do agree with alot of what you say, but if you're wanting rid of 'fancy dans' and players who aren't giving 110% then Benni should be one of the first players out.

I know that some of Hughes' selections and substitions have been baffling in recent weeks, however it would show incompetence on behalf of the board should they EVER sack Hughes without him being given funds during his tenure here. There's a table on one of these threads that shows us bottom, by some margin, with regards to transfers in and out, and unless we back the manager then we cannot say that he hasn't done a good enough job. The time to assess Hughes' situation would be after we've backed him in the transfer market - but lets be honest this isn't going to happen anytime soon.

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport...rs_strikers.php Even Kevin Gallacher believes that Benni's body language and attitude isn't right at Rovers, and he too points to the penalty miss as a man who is "at ill with the world". It's even blatantly obvious from Hughes' comments that he's losing patience with the man - remember it was only a month or so ago that Hughes had to have stern words about his form and professionalism and now it looks like he needs to do this all over again. Of course he's a proven striker, but if there's any possible chance that Hughes has a ready made replacement lined up then get rid of him like a shot. Finally, for all those saying that Roberts has a poor attitude and that he shouldn't have handed a transfer request in, how would you have felt if you put in two excellent performances against Fulham and Newcastle only to find yourself being kept out by a guy in McCarthy, who was not only having one shocker after the other but also seemed to have poor attitude (I know he came off against Fulham). Fair enough he would have been out of order if he'd been benched because a guy was playing out of his skin, but when somebody's not putting an honest shift in it's time to give players like Roberts a chance.

Just said it in the match thread too, but get rid of this idiot before he disrupts the harmony at the club further. You can tell he doesn't want to be here - he thinks he should be at Barca or Utd, so Id let some other mugs take him off our hands. He'll soon realise the grass isn't always greener, especially when a second rate club comes in for him. Great player when he's right upstairs but a childish prat when not - he looked like he'd done more major sulking when coming on today. This evening's lethargic 'few flicks' cameo summed up his season for me.

I think even Hoyte would have him in his pocket throughout. And as for Eboue and Sagna...

Reid's picked up another slight injury according to this sight: http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,1...2651593,00.html Also it looks as if the Admiral is in awe of Roque!

I was pleased that Brazil equalised-hopefuly a draw to Estonia will get this numpty out of the job asap. So Bents gets a couple of under 21 motm's in a row...then a B motm but still McClaren tries Jenas and Dyer for the umpteenth time. A great advert for aspiring England International's here-work your way up through the International ladder and ......oh.... .......McClaren out.

I do not understand this at all...a bit of a joke if you ask me.

These are from two-three different interviews. After the first interview hit the press Skysports news also did a short interview with him which I saw and he more or less said exactly the same things. And now there appears to be a latest one from the Nuts Awards. I too like John think that Hughes will be angered that he attempted to put to bed the interview only for Benni to then come out and say the same things a couple of days later.

Robbie Savage what a guy: http://www.tribalfootball.com/article.php?id=39711 I think Sav sums up all of our feelings in those two final lines.

More or less the same quotes from Benni at the Nuts football awards. It does sound very much like he wants out though: http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,1...2130645,00.html

I've said it before but I cannot see any of the Premiership big guns coming in for Benni. I'd be more worried about the likes of Sevilla and Zaragoza giving him another crack at Spanish football.

I can sympathise Eddie. Before I got the first patch installed I got Madrid to the Champs league final only to see the majority of my South American's go off on International duty on the day of the game. Needless to say I lost the match. A glitch that's happened before as well and one that should never happen on any future game.

I'm more concerned about Berner! Any sightings?

Most notably Glenda Hoddle

I'd probably be more worried of a European club coming in for him. I just think like others that the top 4 will have bigger targets than Benni this close season. I know he didn't settle too well at Celta Vigo but I think that a few Spanish clubs will probably be sniffing around.

I think they're completely different footballers.

Somebody can probably give a direct link but I know that footballmanager.net have the 7.0.2 patch with the new Rovers sqaud etc.

Yeah that's harsh. I thought he'd really get called up this time...Im gonna be £20 quid out of pocket if he doesn't get a full cap before the start of next season too.

Oh sorry Ricky I didn't realise. Looks like he's being joined by Dalton now then.

Didn't know where to put this but Rovers have taken two youngsters on trial: http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=4...d+trials+to+duo The lad from Scarborough is meant to be some talent!

Guess that's his Ewood days over. I think it's on the official Ipswich site. Edit Only2garners beat me to it.

He could well be CircoW. As OJ and Drunx said perhaps the arrival of a fellow countryman has done much to reassure him and helped him to fit in- after all this is what I was told a few weeks back. I just thought that the rumour had some weight because of Hughes' comments before yesterday about the possibility of him becoming a permanent Rover-he never sounded as if he wanted him on a full time basis. I guess all will be revealed in the summer, but if he continues to score until then who'll give a damn anyway!

Right this could well be wrong, my housemates friend (Yep one of those) is working for a short period at Rovers, but I better not say where/doing what as I don't want to stich them up even if it is complete rubbish. Basically they say that Nonda isn't liked at Rovers at all and would be astounded if we were to keep him. Apparently he doesn't mix in well with any of the players, and the management staff (Inc. Hughes) cannot wait to see the back of him. This story made more sense when I heard it a couple of weeks ago when he wasn't playing...but maybe he's had a change of attitude?

Why do they have to tempt me with starting a new game when I've finally got into a Rovers career on the 7.01 patch?! I couldn't remember if anyone's mentioned him but in my current game, Chelsea signed Ezeqiel Lavezzi (Think that's how you spell the fella!) and I was able to loan him straight away. The guy is a goal machine and he and Benni Mac may fire me to a top 3 finish in my first season! Also, although Nelsen's stats don't look amazing-he is quality and Roma amongst other teams keep offering me a fair bit for him. But totally agree on Gamst and Bentley-Pedersen seems to be an all round good left winger (eg pretty good pace) when his stats should really reflect that he's capable of the unexpected and a scorer of regular goals from out wide.
