Martin ..or Hooiveld on Saturday?

[K,Billy's supersound]

martin to start along side fonte for me i like him as a player and will no doubt have a better understanding with the rest of the squad than hooveild and style of play.

imo martin has always done well when playing along side the more experienced defenders harding and fonte and has only looked uncomfortable when along side seaborne or jaidi.

Guys we can keep saying well done to Cortese for not paying over the odds etc but the simple fact is that we didn't get the 2 players ie centre back and striker who could of made a difference to our season...

 

You can dress it up however you want but that is bones of it.

 

If we get to January 15 points adrift of the top 2, would it have been worth it?

 

I am slightly worried by how active West Ham have been and whilst we no doubt have the better team spirit, team bond etc it is only when key players go down that we see the true strength of the squad.

 

What if one of the golden trio go down ie Fonte, Lallana or Lambert???

Who comes in to replace them?

 

I would say that that Fonte would be the guy who would be missed the most as our defence would be undone without him.

 

I went to the Leicester game and the local radio were saying what a good side we were after the game but we had a poor defence and i think that will be our problem.

Leicester and Ipswich we have conceeded 5 goals away from home and that was with Fonte carrying Seabourne, what if he is injured?

We should of spent the cash on a quality centre half....they are out there and not neccesarily in this country but why oh why we did not address this is beyond me.

 

And please dont say this Hooiveld fella because that smacked of desperation and he was obviously a real last stab in the dark...poor by Saints and confusing...

Im sorry im all for giving someone a chance but the guy's pedigree is definitely up for debate and i do not understand the thinking...really angered me frankly given our great start and financial position.

 

Does anyone know the rules on loans? i feel we MUST sign a centre half on loan when we get a chance

 

Personally, I thought Fonte had one of his rare poor games against Leicester, not Seaborne.
