Take the armband off him and let him sit in the reserves. Simple as that. How long is Hughes gonna keep him as captain? Right up until he leaves? Surely that has to have a negative effect on the team. He needs to do it now, regardless of how well he's playing.
I would be very wary of selling him. Whatever his value on the Market is, what are the chances of getting a player as good as him for the same money? Very little I think.
The only way I could see it happening is
a) we get a massive bid
AND
he wants to leave
I doubt it will happen. Still it's a good sign to have 2 players linked with moves to United. Shows we are on the up. If we can keep the squad together and make a couple of Sparky Special Signings in the Summer we'll Sorted.
Say that with a few pints on ya!
We really need another top striker in the summer I think. Ok we wont have the cash for another Bellamy but we need another consistent striker. Dunno bout anyone else but the more goals Bellamy scores the more worried I get about what will happen if we lose him for a few months (or permanantly).
Glass is half empty today
Have to agree about the potential banana skin, Sunderland always worry me. In saying that, if Tugay is fit then himself, bellars and ped could run amok. The glass is half full today
4-0 Rovers
Pongolle (x2)
Reid
Bellamy
Yeah Im 99% sure I read that on the official site. I also seem to recall Liverpool expressing that they were delighted at how accomodating Rovers had been.
I think 6th or 7th. Arsenal and/or Bolton will possibly end up above us. Still wide open though, the next 2 games will give us a much better idea.
If we get a result on Sunday I'd be disappointed to see us finish below 5th.
I'll take 4th though
Agreed. That 2nd article is ridiculous. Hughes deserves nothing but credit for being able to deal with Bellamy and is getting the best out of him. Something most other managers couldnt do.
1st article is very good though.
