January Transfer Window

[Malandro]

We were fucked today as soon as that team was announced and the idiot had Whelan and Jedinak in the side. Like what the fuck convinced him that it was a good idea to play together two of the slowest, oldest and most error prone players in the division?

Sorry TV but the alternatives were?

Onomah and Hourihane. Players with the mobility to press and play further up the pitch as they can actually turn and run the other way.

Whelan has to be dropped for Boro. He's cost us two away games in a week.

Agree.

But it's Bruce at fault, the Stoke fans were saying he's a good player but cannot do more than 60 mins.

That back pass too - that's been coming, it's obviously a favourite Bruce tactic, we constantly knock it back to Johnstone.

Pulling Hourihane back for Snodgrass is criminal when we've seen how good he is on the edge of the box.

Leaving out Hourihane was odd especially when he admitted he was wrong to leave him out of a recent game (I forget which one).

I'd send Snodgrass back for starters.

What! You mean Bruce send back his replacement for Albert who he wanted to get rid of. Good on Albert to show up Bruce in the right way.

By the way, I totally agree with you.

For Snodgrass and Albert read Gabby and Ayew.

I've always assumed Snodgrass came in to replace Green who Bruce obviously saw as a starter this season (and by God how i can't wait for him to come back)

Sadly, i fear there's a clause in Snodgrass's contract that means he has to play if fit. There must be given we're picking him each week!

The reason is that, for all of Bruce's he's a genuine nice guy, he has a massive ego.

I don't believe that to be honest. I don't think any manager would agree to that. It wouldn't do much for team spirit for a start.

[Des Little]

What is this ‘team spirit' you speak of?

I meant in general.

[Dave Cooper please]

I'd send Snodgrass back for starters.

Well he's certainly make a better waiter than a footballer.

Aperitifs would not suffice for Brucey in any case.

[Toronto Villa]

Fucking hell. Van Dijk moving to Liverpool for £75m. Liverpool have almost single handedly kept Southampton in business for eternity. Makes you so disillusioned by what football is becoming at the top level when you see this and some of the transfers that have taken place especially in the past 12-18 months. Utterly mental.

Can you come up with another explanation why he picks him every week?

No, I can't other than he rates him.

Assume it is a sense of friendship and loyalty to a player who has played a significant role in his success in the past.
