Gungan chief on twitter reconds james rodriguez is on. Cant see it myself.

Sadly this is just crazy talk. Which is maybe good because I would certainly pass out.

Sorry my source was http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=72263 did not take into account for west ham's epic failure in europe and over counted. Still think point is valid no? would Kone come off bench for united even in Fa cup like he did for us?

Depends mate, the rs used a kid who looked wayyyy out of his depth from the start in the FA Cup, lad will be playing 2nd division in a couple of seasons

Yet they have 0 evidence to back this up. It would be unreasonable for me a new member to come and accuse people I disagree with as being a fan of another club, no? So why reversed. And are other reports of mine of my views that are more positive reported no? I don't think I am being assertive that I am right and this is an open platform to talk about the club if I am out of order in any post please let me know but to my knowledge I am not insulting or breaking terms of service.

Haha boring kid you

Yes but we signed Enner as an 'improvement on kone' I'd argue Enner is not good enough for where we want to be as a club. You can argue differently it's all opinions.

It is my opinion that I think you will find that Enner Valencia was loaned in to be an alternative option to Kone.

Valencia might not be/probably isn't good enough for where we aspire to be but at the time, it would seem that the DoF and manager saw him as a suitable stop-gap until a better, more suitable player could be identified, targeted and acquired.

Was on about last season when he was happy to keep martinez as manager until the finance loss forced his hand. That game last season at Goodison it was obvious players downed tools but not to him who's clueless about football.

Oh, the irony...

If we sign Ashley Young I will boo him every game.

 

[Neiziro]

Haha boring kid you

Still has a right to speak his mind though and does have a few fair points tbf.

Getting called a Kopite for having different opinions to most happy clappers.

Now this is what I want to hear

I'd rather Enner be training with 23's and DCL when he's back given a go over him

Finally a dust off sense. As the late great Freddie mercury said "I want it all and I want it now". And look what happened to him. He got aids. So did we but we've managed to get rid of ours on loan.

Definitely my favourite bit.

We've had months to do that though yet have failed to acquire a striker this window. Not so sure Enner is a stop-gap myself.

Why would you do that when you could cancel the loan and send him back to West Ham

He is Steve Walsh's signing the panic loan theory will be debunked if we fail to sign another striker this window. (I suspect we are done for this window as the money has run out, hence the prioritising of Depay over Morgan instead of buying both). Depay could play striker and manager was vocal about wanting him.

I fail to see the reasoning behind this.
Why put Valencia into the U23 training group when he's relatively well established in the first team squad... and DCL is out for a few more weeks anyway.
Valencia was only signed for a season long loan, so what would be the point of not including him in first team training?

Read that to yourself again mate and tell me what you think you've put wrong on it mate
