  I think the problem is less Lambert's signings, more that the experienced players (Gabby, N'Zogbia, Bent, Ireland) have not stepped up to the mark and that too much belief has been given the existing young players (Bannan, Herd, Lichaj, Clark). Bannan, Clark and Lichaj are a bigger problem for me than Westwood, Lowton or Vlaar.
  

  
  It's too easy to get on the backs of the likes of Bannan, Herd and Lichaj. They've hardly been used in their natural positions and haven't been found wanting in commitment, nor have they had the support from senior players that they could and should have expected, for various reasons. Clark I do worry about though. It's all about opinion at the end of the day!
  
  I still want to see Carruthers get a run. I think there's a cracking player there! Again, IMHO.
  
  As for our new boy, FFS give him a chance guys!

  Yes, he's a mucky kid, dirty as a dustbin lid! 
  
  Apparently the name is pronounced See-ya, hope he's saying that to the oppo as he goes past them!

  Someone on VT claiming Abdoulaye Ba is having a medical tomorrow.
  
  not sure on this ITK's credentials but Ba is the 6'6" Porto centre back we have long been linked with.
  

  
  Work permit issues were mentioned before with this one.

• The 2 lads mentioned today are not exactly the experienced old pros we probably need, but bodies in are better than nobody in
