Reports linking Keane with City.

[SpeedyG]

Lennon is still only 21. Under the right guidance, he can be a top player.

 

But there will be no point in signing him if Rafa intends to keep Dirky on the right.

 

That's what they said about Babel!

Re discussion in this thread last night while you we around, how exactly has Rafa treated Babel?

[Xherdan]

Where would Jenas fit into our squad exactly? Id prefer Lucas.

[Barrington Womble]

he'd be backup for lucas for when he needed to have the night off to get the tats out of his hair.

Like an adult?

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Like an adult?

 

Putting him in exile for at least a month after scoring in consecutive games?

[wiiksie]

Id prefer Jenas to Lucas, but lets not get another central midfielder when there is such a crisis on the wing.

[Anny Road]

Lennon is a better wing than Dirk.

Fucking John Lennon would be a better winger.

[SpeedyG]

That he may be, but Kuyt is involved in more goals getting scored. If I'm gonna trade Dirk I want to trade for someone better not different.

[Unrighteous]

I'll agree that we need better and not different.

 

Rafa CAN get the best out of someone if they have a very professional attitude, does Lennon have that? I haven't a clue.

Yeah... but Dirk is a real working class hero. Imagine our #(1)9 dream without all these mind games? Instead of watching the wheels, we could celebrate real love with number 19 back home.

 

Im just a jealous guy.

[Xherdan]

celebrate real love with number 19 back home.

 

 

 

Under no circumstances will you be 'celebrating love' with me.

[stringvest]

Whether that's true or not, what you read on here post-match isn't usually a fair reflection of what he's done.

 

Some people like him, some don't and its just about who can shout loudest.

 

no, but the on-the-pitch evidence is. It's not about who can shout loudest, it's about how he plays. If he played a blinder, the people who don't like him would have to admit it or shut the fuck up. Conversely, with the exception of a few dunderheads, those that like him would have to admit he's not playing at the top of his game lately, or stfu.

Are you lost? You seem to have this place confused with somewhere else.

[PaulMcC]

I go to the game.

 

I want Rafa to stay. I think Keane has been generally crap and doesn't deserve to start.

 

Meeting somene face to face with a different opinion won't change that.

If Rafa signs his new deal do you think he'll see it out?

[PaulMcC]

If Rafa signs his new deal do you think he'll see it out?

 

Yeah. I think if gets fucked about by the owners and Parry he might quit though. If he signs it i'd assume he's got some assurances that won't happen.

[WaltonRed]

So the only way he'll lose his job is if he's had enough and decides to walk?

[PaulMcC]

IMO he's a good enough manager to have us progressing and doing well on the pitch so he shouldn't be sacked for that.

 

What's your opinion?

[WaltonRed]

IMO he's a good enough manager to have us progressing and doing well on the pitch so he shouldn't be sacked for that.

 

What's your opinion?

 

Progressing being the prime word.

 

I dont want to see him sacked now but I have a serious issue with giving him a new contract before the season is out.

If we come 3rd or get clsoer to the leaders that's progression.

[WaltonRed]

It is but I still think its pretty sad that we are even talking in those terms.

 

This squad is good enough to win the league.

[redrosetints]

Hermes, it's driving me mad, the big thing is match going reds are seeing right through him, and thats the main point.

 

His days are numbered.

 

Bet your rubbing your hands with glee ATK, not only that but Jewell is free .....

 

AS for Keane getting a chance, he started 16 of the first 18 or something like that, hardly not getting a chance is it ?

 

What did he do against Everton in teh league game to deserve a game on Monday ? Nowt....

[PaulMcC]

It is but I still think its pretty sad that we are even talking in those terms.

 

This squad is good enough to win the league.

 

So are 3 other teams squads. I actually think our squad might be just short of being good enough.

 

We could win it and still could but we wouldn't be anyone's favourites at the start or even when we were top.

 

If we finsh 3rd i'll be disappointed but it'd still mean progress from last season.
