Fuck that, he's a helmet.

He's scoring a goal every two games from the left wing at the moment. He goes on like a twat but he's got the talent and if we were to sign him then I'd be confident that Ashworth has done the research into his attitude.

[Alex 36798]

He can be backup for when we sign players who are as good as Zaha thinks he is.

Ashworth has said we've got a strict no dickheads rule. He wouldn't even start research on Zaha. 

[Craig 6821]

Zaha would be a massive step in the wrong direction.

[Tom 14086]

Yeh absolutely. He's pretty much the opposite of the kind of player we want.

[Craig 6821]

I noticed in that interview with Jake Humphrey, Howe made a point of highlighting the bonus of inheriting zero discipline issues. I think harmony in the dressing room is central to his success criteria and I cannot see Eddie risking that being upset by bringing the likes of Zaha here. 

It'd be him putting ability ahead of attitude and it's just not his ethos.

I'm enjoying laughing at Liverpool fans mind.

 

You'd think their club was formed by Kier Hardie before he sold to mother Theresa the way they go on.

If Liverpool fans aren’t careful here, people are going to wind up not liking them

Yeah there was clearly disharmony in our camp under Bruce but Howe doesn't seem to have had any issues. Almost as if the bloke who was central to the disharmony wasn't there when he walked in.

Probably because they suspect they’ve missed the boat.

He's also ruthless in rooting out any potential rotten eggs as well. Ciaran Clark being a prime example - in terms of ability, probably comparable to Krafth, Manquillo, Longstaff but had completely the wrong attitude, demonstrable with his sendings off.

As that happened I said he should never play for the club again. At the time it felt a must win game, crowd were well up for it and 9 mins in you consciously decide to do that. Howe semi-defended it at the time publicly but I think he'd have lost respect had he not got him out the second he his position was covered.

Aye it's just making me laugh  

 

Quite happy to take the billions of venture capitalists like Henry but suddenly on their high horses when other clubs get a chance at the top. 
 

It means more in Liverpool, because they're very very special see? Each fan is a unique personification of moral perfection. 
 

Apparently 

[MMXXVIII 1296]

Dunno if he's rich enough now but I'd love Trump to take them over, what with his fascination for constructing effective walls.

I see Fred and a 39 year old Dani Alves made the Brazil squad ahead of Joelinton. If we finish top 4 I guarantee he gets a call up next season

I'm gutted for Joelinton but, from a purely selfish perspective, I'm glad he's not going. I'd much prefer him being part of the NUFC mini pre-season setup. 

[Rayvin 5947]

What?? He's far more deserving of a call up than fucking Fred. Gutted for him.

[Gemmill 50086]

He'll be taking it out on opposition midfielders from Boxing Day on. It's them I feel sorry for. 

[Chaser 1369]

Gutted for Joe, but it's Brazil's loss and our gain. Hopefully he can show himself for the rest of the season and push his way in for the next CA and WC.

Its rare these days that there will be debutants in big tournament squads, given his form over the last 12 months its odd that he hasn't even had a call up but this isn't surprising with that in mind.

[Christmas Tree 5115]

Who?

Absolutely nailed on to be Danny Graham.
