Im not sure how much Clark will be used in midfield this season. As for Warnock....Id never want to see him there again, thats even if he is still here!

A very accurate breakdown, which just goes to highlight how weak the squad actually is at this moment!

So the only difference between this and the reserve league is that we are limited to 3 overage players....that we never use? Viva la change!

TBH looking at the bench yesterday Im not so sure about losing all these older squad members just yet. I don't know if you were at the game or not - but going by his performance - at fault for two goals and three times letting a simple pass go over his foot and out for a throw - he's one we can do without. Didnt see the game yesterday but we all know he has those games in his locker. Now Im not saying he should be a starter, more that his experience may prove valuable in the squad, especially seeing how light we were yesterday. In an ideal world we would replace him with a quality player on half his wages, but failing that Im not so sure if we would be wise just taking another senior squad player out.

Its never really a bad thing to lose a friendly! Tempers imposible expectations from fans, and gives a gentle reminder to the powers that be that that more investment is needed.

Pedantic and off topic but I think he is on closer to 20k. He was first in after Randy realised we had to do something with the wage bill.

No, Gingerlad!

I probably played with Ba more during his loan period!

Dunne and Collins are still international defenders. No matter what anyones personal opinions they are still more than good enough for a squad in our position. We are fine here IMO...unless either leaves....

Games like those really show how bad it got last year!

Its basically hay fever.

Had this on my last 3 phones. Addictive as crack!

Historically we always tend to have great centre backs, I hope he is a return to the past! Welcome!

Who scored the pens?

So every time you think a player is not coming the thread should be closed?

Thats probably what he is worth TBF.

If true thats an awfull big loss the scousers are willing to take, I would have thought 12-15m.

Silva V Jones would be THE big one!

Brilliant!

Bloody hell, you would not have liked being at a game before the Taylor report!

Not to get in a heated argument or to baost one academy is indeed bigger than the other but allow me this question: how many Feyenoord academy graduates are currently playing in arguably one of the best leagues in the world? Barry, Cahill, Sturridge, Agbonlahor, Clark, Albrighton, Weimann, Bannan, Herd, Craig and Gary Gardner to name just a few. Here is a small list from players in the top leagues in the world (I may have forgotten a few). If you would ask me to make a new list in 5 years...it would be so much longer. Robin van Persie (Arsenal) Salomon Kalou (Just joined Lille from Chelsea) Royston Drenthe (On loan at Everton last season from Real Madrid) Luc Castaignos (Inter Milan) Jeffrey Bruma (On loan to HSV from Chelsea) Glenn Loovens (Real Zaragoza) Jonathan de Guzman (Just moved on loan to Swansea from Villarreal) Gerson Magrao (Santos) Karim Rekik (Manchester City) Nathan Ake (Chelsea) Dominic Adiyiah (AC Milan) Kyle Ebecilio (Arsenal) Moestafa el Kabir (Cagliari) Ronnie Stam (Wigan) Michel Bastos (Olympique Lyon) Gianni Zuiverloon (Real Mallorca) Touche!

I love the way articles like that always tag a mega club on the end of the list ....as if any of the other clubs mentioned would be able to compete if Milan came in!

I suppose whether you like the NS depends on what you go to the game for.

What about the view mate got some concerns over that Its the same as the Holte in that it depends on how high up you sit. If you sit too low you will struggle to see much detail at the far end of the pitch. The atmosphere does make up for it though, especially against teams like Everton who bring a good away following.
