I wonder what the excuse will be…

No shortcuts in his career.

God’s plan

20 Million?! Christ that’s an easy decision.

Captain McGinn. Depressing.

I mean, I was just trying to avoid a pointless argument, but if you want to go over it we can again you can.

You were trying to intimate that he barely talks to the players... which is obviously bollox.

You then extracted quotes of Emi talking about Beale Taking training sessions and important meetings, none of which substantiate the claim that he " barely talks to the players" 

Common sense would tell you that it's absolute nonsense to intimate as such,

So if we want to get nitty, it's " not that serious " because it's obviously absolute nonsense to try and further an agenda.

* The only mistake i made was misquoting your initial actual comment, which is along the same vein.

I see where you’re coming from. C’est la vie, we’re both big winners tonight.

As @Indigo pointed out above, this is a pretty silly debate we are having.

Then again. most of what we do is.

It's not that serious. lol

Doesn’t seem that silly. I said something. You disagreed. I provide evidence. All of a sudden it’s not that serious lol.

Mate, it was quite clear it was being said in jest. It's an internet forum dedicated to a middling Premier League team, if we can't have a laugh about silly things then what's even the point in putting ourselves through all of this.

I agree completely, I promise I’m not upset by any of this. My point is that Gerrard isn’t really key to what we’re doing on the pitch, he’s more of a motivational speaker who gee’s the lads up and helps convince players to sign. Nothing wrong with that.

I had to go back to the post...but still, same principle applies IMO

What principle? I literally said he barely speaks to them. The quotes reflect that.

You said the players said he doesn't even speak to them.

Is that what I said? I believe you’re the one wearing the hyperbolic hat.

“He (Beale) knows so much about football, it’s just incredible. He does all the training sessions, he takes all the important meetings, obviously Stevie G talks (too).“

“He's very quiet, very calm. But when he speaks we listen," Martinez said. 

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gerrard-wenger-martinez-aston-villa-23370207.amp

As I said, he leaves the detail to others. And these are just quotes from Martinez, I’m sure there’s others from Ramsey and Digne too. I’m quite surprised at the reaction, do people not read and understand what’s being said about our current set up?

Feel free to post laughing emojis if you think I’m stupid, I do it as well.

Inshallah and still.

Gerrard doesn’t do any coaching and the players themselves have said he barely speaks to them. We were shit last year under Beale and he’s gone thankfully. 
 

Critchley is the one to pin your hopes on but as he’s missed pre season…

He's taking a risk, fair play to him.

I can see why he might not have enjoyed the cameras on him. Seems a bit quieter and more nervous than Beale.  It seems that he loves to coach and has maybe scratched the itch of being a manager. 

I think he will be here for a while. Just waiting to see if his coaching translates onto the pitch  . If it doesnt then its the system thats not good enough, rather than the players. 

I do have a good feeling about him. Gerrard will need to be more vocal and i think it will be a good partnership 

He’s the manager in all but name and media duties.

Alverez and Haaland both need to adapt quickly because they’ve lost a fair few goals in Sterling and Jesus. 

Haaland will win the golden boot even if he only scores headers

Robert Pires

Luc Nilis

Jack Grealish

Should've gone on loan last year. Total waste.

I'm pretty sure he'll sign. I heard something earlier in the week and I'm willing to stake my stellar VT reputation on it. 

Bookmark this post. 

Not the same source who told you Grealish was addicted to painkillers i hope?

Enough of the Gerrard criticism! We’ve got Critchley running things now, i always said Beale was never a wartime consiglieri.

What’s the calculator for?

I brought him up yesterday as well.

His " stats " seem to suggest he's already better than Konsa, with a higher ceiling to boot!

How do you calculate a players ceiling?

Lots of golf courses in Nevada?

Karen Carney or Eni Aluko.
