Ahmed Elmohamady - released

[Clark W Griswold]

Hogan is a really good player, if he looks 'dire' whilst playing for us it is because we're not using him properly. This can become the case with forwards. I'm more concerned with the trio of exciting midfielders we signed in January that look like the three stooges. I've seen virtually nothing from the three of them so far and there's little excuse barring the injury to Bjarnasson (who looks the worst of the three). We also don't have 1 wide attacking player that looks any good either.

If our players can't pass the ball what good would Dean Smith do ?

Jesus wept. Are people seriously suggesting Bruce tells them to give the ball away and play like a bunch of spanners ?

Then what are we supposed to do - just accept it and the players underperforming?

The twat of a Manager has them all week to drill them into a method of play - clearly he either a) is not doing so - so if they are not listening drop the feckers or b) is incapable of doing it

I know which one my money would be on

With Elmo coming in I feel time Is right to move Hutton on. Elmo would be more effective attacking and crossing ball but fear has defensive weakness'.  The plus is that Bruce knows how to get best out of him and he'll be reinvigorate we all hope to prove his worth. At end of day he's a premier league player and experienced I hope he can fit in .
On bigger scale somewhat concerned on the team as a unit and think Bruce needs to get them bonding of field as alot of new player not knowing each other.

Now confirmed, in typically 'quirky' fashion too.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Three fucking year contract! When will we learn.

What's the problem with that?

Apart from giving a 3 year contract to a 30 year old* - nothing if we're planning to spend the next 3 years in the Championship.

*September 9.

Welcome, indeed. Good luck? He has it in bucketloads if this contract is anything to go by.

So he's 29 then.

You and your high expectations Dave.

Actually you're right, please don't be shit.
