How many matches are we talking about.Given the strength of our squad,we shouldn`t be reliant on a couple of players.
what old chestnut? we are strong enough to cope and other teams are not? i have no problem with anyone playing in any comp they want to, but blaming every-man and his dog for it is not quite the way it should be done.oakiecokie said:mannymanc said:that's not his point. his point is most premiership clubs can't afford to lose player for any amount of time, so will avoid buying african players to keep 100% of a squad.oakiecokie said:How many matches are we talking about.Given the strength of our squad,we shouldn`t be reliant on a couple of players.
Hang on don`t keep throwing that old chestnut about.
OK Bobby did not sign Kolo,but he knew of the problems before signing Yaya,that he would not be availablle for January.
So perhaps the manager should be hung,drawn and quartered,as well as the players for wanting to play in a big tournament.
