That doesn't make it any harder as it is the same for all teams.

What brings you to that conclusion ?

Of course it does. But there are not many managers that will drop injury prone first team players, when they have no replacements.

Look on the bright side. At least you lived through those times. They cannot take away the memories.

If he is injury prone, his potential is zero to a club in our financial position.

I think we might regret, ignoring things that are going wrong, more.

In our position, if he isn't ready for the first team due to injuries, then get rid. Let some other club invest their time and money in bringing him through.

Is that one of the Scottish players, returned home early ?

As long as you are still producing acceptable performances.

OK I change my statement to, Inferred that.

And yet you say with certainty that they aren't good enough.

Not really.

I don't think Szmodics is that quick. He is alert, energetic and a good finisher.

The problem is that he may not have as successful a season next time, his value may then drop. Do you take the money now or take a chance. In our present situation I don't think we are in a position to take a chance, and in Sigurdsson we may have a ready made replacement.

I agree with everything bar the highlighted bit.

Which is about as far as Saadi should be from our first team.

From what I have seen of him, Saadi is nowhere-near a first team player.

Perhaps we are assessing all our future signings in this game ?

I meant odds on from the fans, the same as some fans have us odds on for relegation next season.

That is on the same level as, England were odds on to go out at the first knock out game , because of the shit performances in the group games.

Some of the fans.

What is your personal target for the upcoming season.

Even without Sammie, I wouldn't say we are nailed on for relegation.

Thank you for clearing that up.

Soon Venkys will be hanging on by season ticket sales alone.
