Good enough or not?

[Tricky_Trev]

No squad in world football has no players in the "Jury's Out" category. None. Even Barcelona. Even Real Madrid. You can't have 25 world class players.

I agree in the main with your list, although I'd caviat a few on your "Jury's Out" list. I really rate Dzeko as a player but not sure he'll ever be right for us - he doesn't like rotating and doesnt suit a narrow team like us. Mario a bit the same. Both of these, I believe, will do the business elsewhere. Lescott I like.

Where would you put Mancini?

Milan

I thought you and Billy were being lined up for that one? ;-)

I was thinking about the size of the squad and how far we have come and who will be still with us in the next few years. I was suprised how many there was that I considered good enough and suprised how many there were where the jury was out - were they all bad buys or just not quite there ?
I could only come up with two that I definately didn't think were up to it.

Good enough.
Hart, Zab, Richards, Vinny, Nasty, Clichy, Silva, Yaya, Milner, Barry (running out of time), Tevez, Aguero.

Jury's Out.
Kolorov, Maicon, (running out of time) Sinclair, Garcia, Rodwell, Lescott (hope I'm wrong), Dezko (wish I was wrong), Mario (running out of time),Massive,Gudetti.

Not for me.
Nasri, Kolo (love the guy but would buy a car from him)

I don't get Nasri. Don't get me wrong, he isn't a bad player but he is supposed to be our second play maker and doesn't do enough.

Don't get me wrong, Silva is undoubtedly a fabulous player and he'd be in my squad every day of the week, however he has been in pretty poor form this season, so much so there is a case for Nasri to claim a place in front of him.

I get the form is temporary, class is permanent arguement and it definitely applies to David, but you have to admit he has been well off the mark this year, looked particularly ineffective against Wigan I thought.

Nasri, definitely in the squad, cant think of who I'd have in in place of him.

Sweet Jesus, I don't think I could agree with you less.

I've heard that when Joe Jordan goes north for the Scotland job, 'Arry wants the pair of' em at QPR. It's his top priority ahead of a striker!

One day Mancini will be gone and I'll still be here. Make of that whatever you want.

Common sense at last.

What's really comforting is I don't think we have a single player that is not good enough.
