Philippe Senderos

[pauliewalnuts]

I'd sell everything I own if someone offered me something utterly stupid as we all would.

Which is by and large my point. Announcing a club as "for sale" doesn't stand up to scrutiny as the only measure of whether the owner would sell or not, or whether a club is "for sale".

In fact, quite the opposite, most of the time the owner wouldn't do so as it could be construed as something which lessens your chance of getting top dollar.

I think it's fair to say that Randy is a more motivated seller than either Kenwright or Ashley at the moment.

That doesn't mean that we'll be sold earlier than either of them, but if a buyer's criteria is nothing more than 'a Premier Laegue club' then it makes us a bit more likely than either of them.

I would argue that we have been all but 'up for sale' for a few years now. Movements in the finances certainly suggested it.

The announcement just confirmed it for me.

Just my impression but I think Randy has greater things motivating him to get out than just money. His life away from football and the privacy that comes with it are as important if not more so than being part of such a public business. And especially one where the seas get rather choppy when not going well. Off course he has a huge financial stake and in that regard he isn't going to give it away, but the other stuff makes him a more motivated seller than Kenwright or Ashley by comparison.

Oh, and as this is the Senderos thread, and I don't think I have commented so far.

I don't rate him and never have, and I think it's a poor signing be it back up or starting.

I'm happy to be proved wrong

I agree with this.

I can't wait until we've got our squad players all lined up so we can go out and buy some first team players.

When is our Phil's next match? Can't wait to see if he and his team will do a better job than they did against France?

Yep, I hope Senderos is the second coming of Paul McGrath, I'd even settle for him being about as good as Zat Knight.  But in reality, he's probably going to cause us all a lot of anger, frustration and pain should he play a lot of games.

Tomorrow night at 9, tonight is our group plus the one with Columbia in.

Pretty sad when we're all hoping our new signings actually don't get anywhere near the pitch

One the one hand, that's a pretty doomish overreaction.

On the other, it's quite funny as gallows humor.

The truth sometimes does hurt

When you sign someone so shit that the only excuse is to say don't worry he's only a squad member he's number x in the pecking order he won't be getting much game time

Exciting times ahead

the best thing that I can think to say about Senderos is that at least he isn't Titus Bramble - but he's not much better

A more relevant observation would be that he's not Nathan Baker, and that's good enough for me.

Well the starting XI are so ace,  it's hard to improve on perfection.

That's why we've been buying squad players for the past two summers. Or something.

Agree glasses. It's a poor poor signing . As is Joe Cole.
