  1. I'd say Grealish has been a 6 or 7 out of 10 so far this season. Its not been great and I wonder how much the drana in the summer has affected him. Then I hear people suggest he's been our best player and that seems strange to me but I'm struggling to say who has been. McGinn? Hourihane? Kodjia? There isnt much to choose from so far.
  2. Smith will bring them into training with the seniors and if they deserve a chance they'll get one. Bruce didn't even take training so had no opinion on them. Which I find to be terribly negligent. For our youngsters it will be massively different. They will still have to take their chances - which is as it should be.
  3. There are a few technically good players in the youth set up. Everybody should be trying to impress. Looks like a few have succeeded. Good. I'd like to see O'Hare in squads at least.
  4. I agree that Chester has been below par compared to last season when Terry organised him. However he's not had a consistent partner, had a midfield leaking runners and no organisation from management. Jedinak on the other hand is not a centre half. He's a liability there. So I find it very easy to argue that its ridiculous to say Jefinsk is no worse than Chester. Watch how many times Smith plays Jedi at the back. Im guessing not at all.
  5. Jedinak is no worse than Chester? wow...
  6. The players will have to adapt to new methods, such as the manager actually being there, tactics and... stuff.
  7. Purslow put a backdoor into FFP when came up with it. Probably.
  8. We should be able to put a Stron tium on the pitch already.
  9. Bree isnt hopeless. Better than Jedinak at CB.
  10. I was in favour of the idea and bravery of Henry but Smith makes perfect sense and he has my full backing. Looks like an NFL set up with a head coach under a Director or General Manager. Better for continuity. Im delighted with Terry back in the fold too. I strongly believed most good things last season came from his leadership and example and not Bruce. Looking forward to getting this show back on the road. I hope he can do it soon as we have ground to make up but its still very possible. Not expecting miracles though.
  11. Im in the pub at the minute but could be free at 9?
  12. Was Fonseca a non starter? I'm getting manager snowblind....
  13. I'm fine with Faria. Passionate guy. Lots of success wherever he's been. Mourinho is clearly missing him. Terry as No2. Works well for me too. Players know him. Natural leader. All good for me.
  14. Anybody other than Nursey reporting that? I wouldn't believe a word that gobshite says.
  15. How can Henry officially turn down something that hasnt been officially offered? Villa hadnt been in touch with the Belgian FA last we heard. Where is this rejection if its official? I still dont think there's one journalist who knows whats going on. Not one.
  16. Zaffs Kebabs loyalty badge. Brownies there or thereabouts for accuracy archery badge...
  17. WTF does Redknapp know about Henry? Get ****, Bagpuss.
  18. I think Martinez has had a mix bag its fair to say. Overacheiving and underachieving at varying times. His Everton tenure was terrible though and lives longest in my memory.
  19. Not keen on Martinez. Not that I think its anything other than SKY horseshit. He's overrated and made an absolute bollocks of many of his roles.
  20. Yes and I'd rather travel on Henry and Terry.
  21. By which time he will be beyond us and we'll kick ourselves. Current managers who were good players include the premier league champion and multiple la liga and Champions League winner and the guy who won the CL 3 times in a row. Sometimes you have to take a chance.
