Can anyone genuinely see many players leaving in the January window?
Rod?
McDonald
Malaga?
Hussey?
Rod?
McDonald
Malaga?
Hussey?
More importantly how many will come in ?
We don't need to add, only keep players we've got. I'm guessing you're implying this?
Maybe another rm for cover for baker as I doubt bell can keep fit
It's about keeping the squad 'togetherness'.
There is a willingness to fight for each other, no more evident than in the closing stages yesterday!
I don't like it when we, as fans, make comments like ' rod can go'...........he played a part yesterday, he had to be 'ready and waiting' and you only get that from the fringe players if they feel valued.
Like Robins said, it's a squad game. He is pleased with the attitude of those that can step in, have waited for their chance....like Elliot
Not against improving the squad, Peter- just the way we go about it, how we make people feel. At this point in time, they are our players, and if they go over the line , they have to perform for us. I think players accept that, they are not always first choice, and they will know themselves if they are good enough or not; but, if you feel valued, rather than berated, you will do your best.
I guess it's kind of similar (but the boot being on the other foot) to the way a better player moves on, and if he respects the club that he leaves.... Like DMG possibly.....compared to , say Bellamy who bad mouthed us. When Keane scored for spurs against us, he wanted no part in celebrations, so we respect that.
I think its obvious McDonald Hussey and Malaga are the players he wants to move on. As to whether we get any takers is a different issue though.
