Navarro did have a really good game, and he has been decent in 2012. He knows he cant afford to have a poor game, not with his contract running out.

Navarro my MoM also. Roberts was giving Greer a torrid time before he switched with El-Abd, resulting in a mistake or two and a lot of shouting at his fellow players. I would imagine Adam is quietly pleased with his performance.

Navarro is shit. End of. The people who think he has a good game last night.....Seriously.
His only good tackle (On Roberts) was a result of him loosing the ball in the first place. Applauding that is like applauding away fans for turning up. A f***ing joke
He is a league one player. After the whole season of him I dont know what he does for us or what his role is in the team. He cant pass anywhere other than sideway or back (yesterdays 40yard ball that flew over KLL head, was the preceeded by Navs giving him a rollocking. Even Gus couldnt believe it) He doesnt win half as many tackles as Bridcutt, has no creativity and generally all round is a nothing player. We will not get better as a team by continually playing him.

AEA was superb last night - spoilt only by going down holding his face AGAIN after a tangle with Roberts.
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
That was embarrassing.
Yep, we noticed that when you said he was shit.
thought the battle between Roberts a AEA was brilliant - a great wily striker up against a really solid experienced defender - i think they both enjoyed it and were both on the wind up. AEA embarassing at the end with the roling around on the floor - but thought Roberts could have had 2 yellows and or a straight red in first half. Navarro immense last night MOM very pleased for him unsung hero.

Navarro is in a new contract syndrome,soon as he signs a new deal he'll be back to average.
The big test for Alan Navarro will be Chris Hughton's Birmingham team. They are a pressing side (unlike Reading) so when Navarro is looking to pass out of defence he may find that there is obvious player to pass to, and he cannot dally on the ball, he cannot pass when the player he is passing to will run into trouble etc. In short, because he is not the greatest athlete he has to be super aware and it gets more difficult the higher standard you get. It is one of the most important positions as well.
A long time ago I had the same trouble when playing football. I did not have the stamina to run with the ball, and if the players on my space did not run into space I could not pass to them. I could weight a pass, and I did not telegraph what I was going to do. Being harried by someone like Macca was the worst thing though. I ended up passing to somebody square.
Summary: Razak was never going to stay.

Agreed and in my opinion he was carried by crofts when he last was doing o.k,very average league 1 player I'm afraid.

You're going to have to do a lot better than that to kick off a fishing expedition. Your point of view needs to come across as contentious, not absurd

Having a Spanish speaking manager and assistant could be another factor that might persuade Vicente to stay....

And it's all gone quiet..
Navarro was brilliant. My MoM for sure.
His passing was generally excellent, with practically every long ball finding its mark. Several (surprisingly) pacy runs up through the middle to start attacking moves and a decent shot towards the end, if he'd scored more people would've noticed him but I thought he was excellent.

I don't think I've ever seen a post regarding football from you that I haven't thought was either strange or a load of bollocks, or both.

Navarro played very well last night, as he has done for a good while. Its a shame we have a better player in Bridcutt because playing them together seems like a bit of overkill.

Very good point, I wonder how important his relationship with iñigo is like too? It must be hard on the pitch without a spanish speaking collegue to help you out.

Why ruin a creative thread. So players only play well if contracts are up for grabs. Maybe Navarro loves playing for the club as we treated him like a human being when we could have shut the door in his face.
Navarro week in week out plays the role that the manager wants him to play that's why he is selected week in week out.
Sorry Sir Albion but your just talking bollocks.

Acquire 2 classy strikers, especially 1 proven finisher, right back with pace who can defend, class goalie, and creator (if Vicente's ever unfit).
