Whelan, no thanks, maybe we coach and train the players we have at the club, go on Steve I dare you

...Chris Martin

Behave yourself

Correct

[eddiemunster]

I see that we are one of the few teams not to have produced a retained/release list at present, yet all of the premier league sides from last season have.
Wonder why that is?

Nail on head Three Spires.  Never were truer words posted.

You chaps are being very glib.

Coaching is a very complicated business.  Attacking and defending in units. Ball control, spacial awareness, movement,  creating pockets of space and so much more.

Is it any wonder we appear not to bother?

This is curious. The Premier League teams were, AIUI, obliged to release their retained lists by last Friday. I have no idea if/when we have a deadline. Waiting to hear what's going to happen to our 47,000,000 players out on loan. The only definite news I have heard about any major players is that the permanent crock Kozak is finally off the books.

Isn't Mark Bunn out of contract too ? ( please ) and isn't Sanchez now off the books as well ?

Other teams seem to manage coaching fairly easily such as the top 6 who we were a mile off

Having said that picking a formation and sticking with it along with playing people in their right positions would be a good starting point

Jon Walters is a leader we should strongly consider getting in, superbly led the line for Ireland yesterday again.

My OneFootball app I use for score checking popped up with Terry for Villa?

As Terry is the only player I know who was carried off the field with a serious leg injury and booed incessantly as he left, I doubt it will ever happen.

It comes from Terry and his brother playing golf with Steve and Alex Bruce a few weeks ago.  There's a picture somewhere.

"John Terry, we know what you are"

Only player i've ever known to be down and obviously badly injured at VP and be abused non stop, including as he was stretchered off. Certainly the only time i've done it. Then after the final whistle applauding Lampard as he walked across the pitch in front of us to the tunnel.

Me too.  And embarrassingly, I felt no remorse at the abuse I used.  I also applauded Lampard too, so feel better that I was not the only one on here to do it
