...?

Thanks for your updates on here chaddy. I'm always grateful for them.

Exactly.

Think he's just quoting 'rich Sharpe'..

I'm personally not going to speculate on possible targets, as I haven't a clue who TM might go for. I'll react when there's something concrete. The waiting is a bit of annoyance, ain't it? ?

Wasn't Samuel signed before nuttall? Even if not, it couldn't be anticipated that nuttall would ready for first team football.

I believe Samuel could still prove a good acquisition. Not sure who he's blocked from the academy?

Err, because Burnley are in the Premier League and we've just escaped league one? Burnley also gave young players chances when they were in the championship(Trippier, Ings, Mee), and reaped the rewards of persisting with them during their indifferent early form. You might want to take note of that the next time you slag off nyambe , samuel and our academy prospects.

All this was discussed online in various places after he signed last summer.

I'm sure you'd select Nick Pope..

That seems likely.

Is this definitely a statement after the meeting with the Venkys?

I'm just making a point about a posting of mine being considered rude, when established regulars on here seem to do it all the time.

Who achieved nothing under so called 'top managers'. Let's embrace south gates new approach and see how it goes. You may be pleasantly surprised. Maybe after this world cup, some of our players will be viewed in similar awe as the Germans on this thread.

But you respect my opinion all the same, of course..?

That's fair enough, as per a request made, I apologise for being a bit rude to you.

I'm not quite of the mind of the fella to critisise raya, but I do believe he needs better compitition.

I think bowyers approach was right, picking up players from clubs just promoted to the premier league. A few of those will upgrade and let players go they don't deem quite up to prem standard. Cairney, Gestede and Evans were great signings as examples.

Bit concerned there's no mention of a keeper to challenge Raya.

I don't predict anything other than the players giving a better account of themselves than they have in recent tournaments.

I'm sure you've been trotting out such nonsense since he was rightly let go by bowyer. Now he's getting a bit of publicity for his 'good games'(being at a London club does that), you feel your stance is justified. My opinion remains.

I believe I answered your question in the last post..

Still don't rate cairney. Too hot and cold for me.

Gareth southgate has to pick the players that suit how he wants to play. That is not always the best individual players in the country. We went down that road in the past, fitting in players like Gerrard and lampard together, when it clearly didn't work. I believe southgate is picking the best players for the TEAM. You know, yes, southgate was poor with lesser quality players at boro, but international management is completely different. He may well have it right at this level.

And people think that is poor! ?
