Re: Asante

Looking forward to today's preview "Asante will have a fitness test on a groin injury"! Bang on the money, the preview says exactly that. This was a quote back in July after he underwent 'minor surgery' on this groin injury: When asked how long he is set to be out for, Webb replied: “It will be a f...

Re: Asante

Put simply, why would he lie? There is no reason to whatsoever. Your 'tangent' was a history of lies and exaggerations by Johnson to provoke and / or protect his reputation. So why would he not. All he has done is his usual provocation. He's not actually said anything definitive he's said unbelieva...

Re: Asante

Asante shouldn’t be blamed for being paid whilst being injured, even if he doesn’t feature from now until the end of the season. The club have given him a contract knowing full well of his past injury problems & recent surgeries. What was Asante supposed to do? Turn down the huge money we offered him?

Re: Asante

Are you expecting the board to intervene in transfer decisions? Not sure I expect the board collectively to be signing off on every transfer or contract to be honest. That would be quite inefficient. Of course all of the Board collectively wouldn't approve every transfer. That isn't anybody's point...

Re: Asante

That sets a worrying precedent and becomes a slippery slope. Reynolds liked his say on stuff like that and loved the odd intervention without having the slightest clue about football. It’s illogical to appoint a manager and then immediately overrule him (no matter what people’s opinions are on that...

Jameson is, obviously, an upgrade on Taylor (who is also better than Robson). Just for fun 97 and not to start a ding dong, let's see where Robson ends up. He is (unlike T.T.) a young, full time, professional goalkeeper with hopefully his best years yet to come. Taylor is better than Robson. Howeve...

Interesting - wonder if the reaction towards Watson will be the same as Gowling for it...if it does happen. The issue was never the principle, or idea, of replacing Taylor. There are better goalkeepers at this level, just as there are ones below his standard, too. The issues sat with who Taylor was...

I’m sure that’s incorrect and do you actually know how much Akwasi is on?
