well people who went to the reserves games he played in

So very few then.

And those people are more qualified to comment on the ability of professional footballer than the then Albion management setup?

ALL of which have now been sacked?

Whats that celebration all about, seen a few players do it, maybe at Oldham?

No way Navarro does those in training on a daily basis.

I've heard from a source within the club that Adam El-Abd often BACKHEELS the ball into the net from 50odd yards, but Poyet doesn't want him doing it in a match because it would make it too easy for us.

Give it a rest. Look through the threads about him when he had a trial here. Everybody was saying how they wanted him in. Not just this bloody strike

So much so that we didn't sign him. In fact, no league one club signed him!!!

Sums you up doesn't it. Everybody can earn redemption, and anybody has the right to try. Even if he has had problems before. Looks lik he is getting his life back on track. Good on him.

Can you just enlighten us as to exactly how you know he is getting his life back on track? He is 22, only signed for Rotherham in November after a trial. Do you know anything about his social life? Do you know if he has sorted out the alleged problems he has had?

On a personal note, I haven't the foggiest about the bloke. I have, however, read articles, read and listened to many interviews, and he 'claims' he is sick of the life he was living, and really wanted to get his career back on track. He now seems to be doing so, playing leauge football. Good on him.

I hoped we'd sign him after doing well in his trial games, but I think with all the uncertainty over Slade's position and our ineptness on the pitch he kind of slipped through the net. I suspect our loss will be some other clubs considerable gain (Rotherham at the moment).

Quite so, but you didn't answer my question. Are you and "everyone" more qualified to comment on whether someone warrants a professional contract than the then Albion coaching setup?

Simplistically, no. However, I am entitled to have an opinion on a player and his performance levels.

For example, Jim may think Drogba is the best striker in the Premiership. However, Bill, who has a B badge in coaching, may think that Rooney is. It is *partly* about opinions.

P.S I know tht argument has a flaw
