Just bumping this to see if anyone who gave me grief about this thread wants to apologies?

 

Once again, I demonstrate remarkable foresight and I usually graciously go about my business quietly and professionally but do feel compelled to call this out on this occassion.

Do you just follow the likes of myself Turkish and cb around the board? It certainly seems that way.

 

Blimey hypo, I've been on this site from the get go.

 

I wouldn't say you were like Turkish or CB at all, from the limited amount of time I've spent here. What would you say are the similarities?

I don't consider myself similar to them other than having some views on sfc in common but Avenue saints seems to follow cb myself and Turkish around amongst others.

I don't know how many times I've read on here, but apparently last season was a kind of prolonged 'settling-in' period for this player and this season he will come into bloom and prove all his doubters wrong.

 

From what I've seen so far this season I must say we still appear to be patently waiting for the 'real' Gaston to turn up. My advice to him would be that 'sooner would be better than later' young man.

I'd actually like us to give Ramirez one long run of starting games and playing 90mins. If he's going to be here he needs that, otherwise he may as well be shipped out this coming January.

 

Agree with this in spite of this thread. The only way we'll know for sure is if he gets a run of games.

 

I'd like to see a front 4 of the following given a run of 5 games or so:

 

Rodriguez Ramirez Lallana

 

Osvaldo

 

If Ramirez doesn't make an impact in a settled line-up, the writing will be on the wall.

Who would you drop to do this?

 

Lallana seems to have made a good start to the season and stepped his game up from last season. Osvaldo is providing a bit more competition too. and as much as I thing Rodriguez is below par, he's about the only option we now have that offers some genuine pace and some form of ability to get on the ball and put defenders on the back foot.

 

I'll be honest, I don't really know what our best starting line-up is since Osvaldo arrived; only to say that it seems to have pushed Ramirez backwards if anything.

Hard to call, but most likely Lambert I'm afraid. He can have Osvaldo's movement ahead of him. Just don't see a point in him hanging around otherwise.

Too early to say for sure but I'm not sure if the intent is for Rickie to make way. But then as i said I really have no idea what our first choice XI is going to be; our forward options look rather disjointed to me.

Yep, if we're going to persist with 4-2-3-1 then it's Osvaldo in for Lambert I'm afraid, then Ramirez to play a free role behind him. Agree Ramirez needs a run in the side as its jot doing him or us any good him just playing 20 minute cameos.

Why are you trying to rope those two in?

 

They might be annoying shiits at times, not too dissimilar to me to some no doubt but the crucial difference to YOU is that they appear consistent!

 

You're just a plain fool with no consistency and have a HISTORY of posting absolute controversial "look at me" rubbish. Let anyone if they can be bothered browse through your previous, and they will know what kind of idiot you truly are.

 

I don't forget mate. When I see horse, I'll call it a horse, when I see a troll, no matter how much they try dressing it up, I'll call it a TROLL.

 

Now jog on...

Money.

 

He came on at West Ham last year and did pretty well, would clearly have been at least a useful squad player, but we loaned him out. Tadic lost form and we had little creative spark. But we can't afford to have those wages on a sub.

 

FFP is screwing clubs like us basically. He'll go back to Serie A and probably do well.

 

Money -or more accurately value for money- is one thing; FFP is another. FFP has nothing to do with whether we keep one player like Ramirez.

I don't understand why we're not prepared to give him a chance...

 

Seems to be fitness and application. Koeman said it's difficult as he is always getting injured and can never get to the levels of the rest of the squad who are all extremely fit.

dig dig got shot down in his OP.

gaston is our best player, apparently and Dig Dig must be a skate for suggesting we should ship him out

 

You can't tell the difference between writing a player off after 3 years and writing him off within 2 months and 8 days of signing?

 

Gaston looked very promising when he first signed and was one of our best players until he was injured. Now is another matter, he's failed to deliver fairly consistently and doesn't seem to have the drive and desire to get fit and into the team.

it is a shame. most definitely has the talent.

remember reading a piece from tim vickery when we signed him, who stated that gaston would very much struggle with english football...sadly, he was/is bang on

What kind of wages is Ramirez on anyways? Best paid in the club?

 

Ive not been impressed by Ramirez but I don't really think he have got much of a chance. I wonder what would happen if he would be given a good run in the team, im sure he could do at least equally good as JWP.
