Twitter going mad for Shane Long. Apparently we signed him for £2m. In my opinion that's a bargain at £2m for a decent back up. Surely means JD is gone. Anyone know anything about this?
I can't believe what I am reading, long in a Spurs shirt and there are fans which are happy with this?
Unbelievable!!!
Shows how desperate we are! Never thought I would hear this, god how low can we go?
Just play Lamela please!
Davo I completely agree with you, the more game time he has the better this lad will get, he is a very good player once sherwood plays him in the right position this lad will be awesome .i really hope he doesn't leave on loan as this won't help him at all . I was very negative on my last post so at the minute I am eating my own words as I was like most, very frustrated with the way AVB wanted to play . and thanks Tim you have started playing some really good stuff .hats off to you and thanks for bring ADE back!!
Have to completely agree I think Lamela needs playing time and I personally think that him and Soldado upfront together would bring out the best in each other as they can both finish and create.
The conundrum of when to play him . You get fired if you don't finish Top 4 and Lamela hasn't shown enough to be included week in week out . so play him in the "lesser" competitions and see if he can perform? At the top of the PL there is no time to let someone play 10+ games to find out if they might be good enough.cause if they aren't you just lost your job.
So what's said about Soldado? Hardly set the EPL on fire!
Don't see why if soldado's played week in week out and can't perform why Lamela can't be afforded the same opportunity.
Have any of them? Vlad looks like the best buy of the bunch so far . Paulinho and Eriksen starting to show promise, even Soldado with Ade shows signs of life. the rest hard to tell from what I've seen.
Then I look at how Liverpool are building what appears to be a winning team . markedly different approach to ours
YELLOW CARD I think your missing the point and that's play them .why play them in the lesser games as you put it? out of the FA cup and the carling cup so what lesser games are you on about . the only way to find out if he is worth the price tag is to play him play him . this lad is gona be class .why spend 30m and not play him .IMO the one that stands out as not doing much is CHADLI!!
It's easy to say just play them . Harry would have done that and maybe there is a case for that.
Ignoring the language issues alone, the upheaval of inserting 7 new players into a team/squad are suicidal as commented on by several other managers when we bought them all, and I for one don't see how the 7 new pieces fit together to form an effective trophy winning team - too much duplication of the same style/type of player, no PL experience between them are just a couple of the issues.
Without the benefit of seeing what is happening day in day out at training I can't determine why Lamela isn't played more . but 2 managers appear to have reached the same conclusion at this point.
Assuming what we hear is correct don't know nor understand how players get bought that a manager supposedly doesn't want . In my simple mind if AVB or now Sherwood can't agree with Baldini why would Levy sanction a deal?
