[Owen]

Sporting Director?

[Wor Horse]

Is that Purslow or Macia?

Kenny?

[Scott_M]

Well, we needed a bit of bad news today to cancel out all the good news recently.

[Wor Horse]

Kenny?

 

Degen? No one knows. What a state this club is in.

[KopOut]

This is not so bad news. I like Insua and at the very least he is an excellent squad player. I'd actually start him in the back line..Wilson is probably more for the future, at just 18.

[James]

Can't see why we should keep him while we have Aurelio and Wilson.

[danperkins]

Gutted Insua isn't going he's a liability. Slow, cumbersome, awful positional sense and turns like a bus. His positional sense may improve with experience but as for the rest well.....he's fucked, Gutted!!!

[Iantn]

Can't see why we should keep him while we have Aurelio and Wilson.

 

Maybe because Aurelio is made of cheese strings and Wilson is an 18 year old centre half.

Insua isn't excellent in any way, shape or form. He's garbage.

I concur

[Original202]

Aurelio re-signing and Insua's move stalling have dented a lot of the early optimism of this summer.

 

Both are reasonable enough back up but I'd be far from confident with one of them being first choice.

[Funkasy]

Happy about this. good enough backup. aurelio will never be backup because hes never fit.

[Strontium]

Fucks sake. Insua is worse than Dossena, and that is a fact.

 

We should stick the cunt in the reserves until he lowers his wage demands, the cheeky little bitch.

[Jim MM]

I'm glad we've got two left backs again anyway. Hopefully Aurelio can stay fit and become first choice again letting Insua gain a bit more experience without being under pressure every week. He seemed like a decent enough prospect the season before last under those conditions.

Nah, we need a top player for first choice in every position. Aurelio just isn't quite there. Might be with some good competition though. Reckon Coentrao will be massive in the future, but i'm only going off the World Cup though, which is very (POBORSKY!) silly of me.

[Steve Holt]

Fuck it, we'll have plenty of money to buy a better left back before the window closes anyway.

 

Happy days.

[HornsOfJericho]

Keeping last years left backs is a big problem. Weakest area of our team and we do nothing to fix it.

[Unrighteous]

Fucking gutted.

 

He's shit,

he's fat,

He looks in Mascher's flat,

Insua. Insua.

[Gary Mac Legend]

Maybe look at it from the lads perspective, he may not have wanted to move to a whole new country (Italy) considering he left his native Argentina for England. Now the club sold him and he can do nothing about that, however he probably didn't want to go through all of that hassle, and take a sizeable paycut at the same time for something he didn't ask for, or want maybe.

 

Anyways, he's got a lot of work to do to impress Roy and keep his place in the team. Now Fabio's fit, we still need another LB (I still like the sound of Figueroa), we could have 3 senior left-backs which would be solid.

[Ted]

This is like trying that bit in Harry and the Hendersons where John Lithgow tries to make Harry go back into the forest.

 

Harry just doesn't get it and wants to stay, so in the end; John has to dish out some tough love and hit the poor guy.

 

Maybe someone should twat Insua? I volunteer to do this tough task.

[Unrighteous]

I dunno Ted... I think my punches might offer a bit more 'message'.

[Randy Marsh]

I like Insua and felt sorry for him last season. He's still a kid and young players need to be eased in and given a break every now and then when things are not going right for them. Due to Aurellio's horrific fitness record last season he didn't get that, and suffered from it. He looked jaded, stale and it wouldn't have done him any harm to be pulled out the firing line for a month to get back training and working hard to earn the place back.

 

I have got doubts over his pace and positioning, but equally I like him going forward and I don't think he's half as bad as some are making out on hear. He's still only 21 years of age and has plenty more development time ahead of him. I'm happy to see him stay and providing Fabio stays fit then I think he'll improve alot this season. Certainly don't believe he should be made out as another scapegoat in the Lucas mould because just 12months ago he was being hailed by many on here as the next big thing.

[Unrighteous]

Aurelio's fitness record hasn't changed. Insua needs to be replaced with something less shit.

Deffo agree with that, although I don't like the thought of him and Aurelio being our only 2 left backs. If Aurelio's injuries carry on we'd be again left with the lad and would be exposed.
