Isolated Players (Front Page Article)

The man is a hero and a titan. Any leader worth his salt should surely see what Captain Jags brings to the table. His deeds are enshrined in verse and recited at meal times by buxom wenches at Finch Farm.

lol

Alex Fergy when starting at Man Utd had a similar problem of having to move on players who were just too comfortable at a club they were not good enough for - Danny Wallace and the likes. Can take a long time to get the right vibe at a football club. Good move by Marco I reckon...

Just seen Mirallas has the number 8 shirt!. Would this mean he is in Silva's plans?

No it means Walcott took 11 when Mirallas went to Olympiacos and he's not giving him it back. He's already training away from the squad and apparently close to a loan move to Fiorentina.

because leadership is a key component to team success. and, in my opinion, Jagielka is a poor leader. Further, in my opinion, good managers pick good leaders.
You can join the dots from there, yourself.

Please join them for me ... since the last 5 managers have all seen fit to leavr him in the post ?

I never rated Gough. He was ok, but he had Richard Dunne doing the running. He lived too much on the reputation concerning him being an organiser.

He was more than okay in my opinion. I’ve watched loads of centre halves from behind the goal in the Gladys St and that first season he was here he was as good as anybody in last 30 years apart from Ratcliffe. Second season age started to catch up with him a bit but he was still good.

Phew! just saw kit numbers announced on a fb post and panicked a bit, thought he did ok pre-season though, still not great.

I wouldn't say it was odd to make it public, in fact I think it was excellent propaganda. There must be more than a few clubs and players out there that have regarded us as a soft touch for a while now, not to mention certain members of the playing staff who already play for us.

Silva ostracizing them sends a message to other clubs, any incoming players and more importantly to our squad that we are under new management and downing of tools, titty lips and poor attitude will no longer be tolerated. Lets face it, it was long overdue and our mild mannered club captain has been conspicuous by his absence for the whole time, a decent CB he has been but a captain he aint.

He also pointed out to clubs who might have been interested in taking said players Beware bad attitude/useless in training sessions.Not really smart when you are trying to clear out the deadwood to reduce the wage bill to bring in new players.

Hard to see any side seeing a Cuco as a priority, Loan move at best for him I guess.
