The PR machinery

We're heading towards the end of the dark as a club now. New owners. New manager. New optimism. New hope. New players.

 

That is all good for most of us.

 

But there are some people who don't neccasarily cheer this situation. Who?

 

The players being in danger of losing their place in the team, and most of all their agents.

 

We see it clear now, how the machinery starts working on full throttle. Players and agents telling us through the media how their players love the club and wants to end their carreer here. How they would like to win trophies here.

 

Forget the fact that some of the same players are parts of the reason we've been fooling around in the darkness. Forget that they have had several poor games, and even sesons. forget that they approach the wrong age.

 

Passengers would love to stay at a big club, and their agents would love to cash in on another new contract for their clients.

 

Kuyt was the first one out of course. Now Skrtel is following. I fully expect the people behind Maxi, Kyrgiakos, N'Gog and Aurelio to follow.

 

I really, really hope Comolli is keeping his cool here.

 

Offer them one year contracts with pay as you play conditons. Let's see how much they love the club then.

 

If not they know where the door is. And according to the agents there are of course plenty of interest - so they better look it up rather sooner than later.

My suggestion about pay as you play wasn't meant literraly.

 

Comolli knows from his time at Arsenal how wenger threats players who approach their 30's when it comes to contracts. I hope he will do much of the same here.

 

But Ngog isnt approaching 30 is he..

Give the snide insinuations a rest eh lad and support the team, leave the rest to people who do have a clue..

We should treat players on a case by case basis. Some players start to go downhill when they are 30, other when they are 32 or 34. For example, I reckon Carra has another season left in him after this but that'd be it. Whereas Stevie could easily play till hes 35 or 36 I reckon.

 

Then theres just the plain old dross earning wages and contributing fuck all. We'll definitely be getting rid of a few of them this summer I think.

Shit idea....players like Kuyt have earned their contract, same goes for Soto too after some Spartacus like performances.

 

Maxi and Ngog however have not done enough though...

 

It come down to this....you work hard for the team and train well, then you are rewarded, if not then there´s the door.
