….i’m not after him going past 3 players and smashing one in the top corner. Just a chest control and immaculate lay-off or a little something that says ‘that’ll do me’.
it really isn’t about how much time he’s been on the pitch.

If I was in his place I'd be looking to impress as he's done nothing in his career of note and has a fantastic opportunity to further his career. Bags of potential, limited game time, work for your team for 10 minutes. If this was your attitude and you were playing up front for me, you'd get in the bin.

How much for the pair?
If you were the manager and kept giving me 10 min a game instead of letting me prove myself I'd happily look for a loan or way out to be honest
Even moreso with the hindsight of knowing that even if I'd scored in those 10 min I won't get a start anyway.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
I'd have subbed him off yesterday.. gave up on 50/50 balls a few times.

If you were 19 and thought you should be playing ahead of DCL I'd be concerned about your attitude like. I'd start him ahead of Beto given what we saw yesterday though.If you were the manager and kept giving me 10 min a game instead of letting me prove myself I'd happily look for a loan or way out to be honest

I wouldn't. That's a horrible message to send to a young kid in public. Do nothing at all for his confidence. These things can be spoken about in private. Also he really only gave up on 1 ball, and now it's looking a far bigger deal than it should be because a couple of us are having a discussion about it. It's a non issue really at this stage, just a bit disappointing as everyone needs to show fight to hold on to every precious point.

If I was 19, DCL was out injured, Beto was unable to trap a ball all game and you didn't give me a sniff until the dying moments and instructed me to go out and "chase down loose balls" (again) - yeah, that'd be my attitude.
No chance he's given more than 30 min if DCL is fit though.

Can we shake hands/wangs and agree that we must fire Ashley Young into the sun and get on with our lives?
….the skill set is so different for strikers, it’s what makes them so expensive but the DOF is paid lots to identify talent.
The two strikers we were most linked with in the summer were cheaper purchases 12 months earlier (one was Beto). Chermitti is the type we should be acquiring but the bottom line is they have to be good.

I think we could identify all the talent in the world and I'm sure there was many on our list but we could only take players from clubs that let us pay for them 12 months later.
….which might be another indication that clubs were happy to get them off their books. The trick is to get the £10m striker that’s worth £20m 12 months later.

I think it's more that we had to pay more than the book value due to the delayed payment, you'd be a fool if you were Udinese/Sporting to not ask for more if the payment was delayed. In that case, the money might have been too good to turn down. Only time will show us if Chermiti breaks through, many players with more talent don't and some with less go on to have great careers.

Well this encapsulates the worst type of attitude. How dare we tell a player to do a job. To chase. To harrass. For 15 minutes. He’s only a little baby and needs a cuddle and time to do his hair and stroll around the pitch wrapped in cotton wool getting all the time and space he needs. He doesn’t need to do anything to earn his place?? Just show up?? Shocking attitude.
