Well he couldnt play last night, because fifa fucked up his registration. Also, he is a 19 year old who has just come off a very demanding season in brazil. If he wasnt a kid, i would agree, but he is.I think footballers get to much protection and what have you.
Tell him he's playing and let him get on with it
we miss Dzekoaguero apart I was desperate for dzeko
His last competitive match was the 11th of December, he'll be fine with a month off I'd have thought.Well he couldnt play last night, because fifa fucked up his registration.

Yep get him inHis last competitive match was the 11th of December, he'll be fine with a month off I'd have thought.
Hehas had a months rest, justlike our players do at he ehd of the season. Dont forget he has played all year round in brazil. He may now need a couple of weeks training to get up to speed both physically and mentally with what pep wants. Remember when sane came, pep wouldnt start him because he still had a lot to learn positionally. Think of this as his pre season. I think he will be on the bench v everton and spurs, and if we are at home i can see him starting the fa cup game.His last competitive match was the 11th of December, he'll be fine with a month off I'd have thought.
Does anyone have a feeling Sergio will be gone at the end of the season? From watching us, I just don't think he suits Pep's style of play. He is unquestionably one of, if not the best finisher in world football. However, he also plays with his head down, and passing and link up play is not a strength of his. I mentioned this in the transfer forum, but after watching young Dembele for Celtic, he looks ideal for Pep's style of play. He is a natural finisher and has pace and power. On top of this he is very unselfish and links skilfully with his attacking midfielders with precision weighted passes behind defences. I think these are the attributes we need from our front man if the team is to succeed in implementing the style Pep wants to play.
This is in no way meant to disbarage Sergio btw, it's just certain players suit different styles of play, and to me he has looked very under par this season despite his decent goal return. I also believe he feels this way too, giving the numerous out of character incidents he has been involved in. Strange times ahead if we are willing to let someone with his talent move on in his prime. Some big big decisions to be made...
No mate i didn't think you were saying he was to soft,it's just some of these so called experts in the game think he wont be able to look after himself in the premier league,i think we all remember what they said about silva when he popped up in the premier league,of course the wankers were wrong again,which is par for the course for 99% of them.Oh i dont think he is soft at all....i wast saying that but its a huge ask for someone who is basically still a kid to come in and adapt that fast to not only his role in the team but also life in general in a country and culture that is very different
Nothing yet as red tape held upAny pictures for him in the training ?
