I said a quite a few posts back that Benni was a toxic influence in the dressing room, now it makes it into the public arena. Goes to show that it's often the invisible behind the scenes stuff that explains why a player doesn't play and we are left bemoaning the alternative on-pitch selections. Giving him away would be a good option right now, a transfer fee would be icing on the cake IMO. Disruption in a dressing room equals relegation. Get shut and let him and the porno kings think they've won. Chickens coming home to roost etc..

Amen theno. We should only play wingers when we have players who can play the wing position. We don't, so we should line up differently (taken from the Duh book of football coaching). Personally I don't care who we play in the striker roles just don't leave him/them isolated and alone up front. Benny is a great player but only when he decides he wants to play, no use owning the world's greatest car if you drive it around like a 2CV. Jason is worth his place which IMO is on the bench. Di Santo starts every game for me but then he's going so we need to replace him. Kalinic I'm hoping will turn out OK, his cameos have looked good so far, Sam is protecting him and giving him time to grow into the role and not fear his 6M price tag, which is a good thing. Strikers will come and go, who cares whether they're called The Tank, Slasher or whatever, they can do no worse than our current efforts on goal total. The real issue is that having to replace strikers is a distraction from the main task in hand which surely has to be about sorting the midfield positions out in January. On that count alone Benny and Jason's outbursts are unwelcome.

I'm generally quite a happy chappy who has good chuckle when I read amusing stuff in the paper but for the first time in years I actually broke out into a belly laugh when I read this. I was in hysterics, tears down the cheeks stuff. Absolutely priceless. You couldn't make it up. What a set of numpties. Caveat Emptor guys Caveat Emptor

There speaks a wise and sagacious man (or lady - as we don't know each other).

Maximum respect Andre and thanks, you did us proud mate. Good pro with good skill and an even better attitude. If they ever find a way to reverse the aging process please come back
