I was interested in Guardiola's recent comments that he wants a smaller squad as he doesn't have to keep leaving players out ... and he has more fronts to fight on.
We might find ourselves in a situation where our injury issues are less severe than they have been and we're having to...
Given the number of young players we have, the 25 squad size thing I don't think matters
But yeh, no reason for antipathy towards Pervis. He should be given a warm reception on his return to the Amex
Whether or not we want to give Barco a good squad place, If we can get out of the this "option to buy" we should and we will.
He has played well enough so that the valuation of the player has gone up. So either we keep him or we sell him, but we don't sell for the low fee reported in the...
A lot would have to happen for Solly to be first choice left back.
First he would have to get fit. Properly fit, not just 10 mins a month fit ... and
Ferdi, either can't gain fitness or is played elsewhere, probably right back ... and
We can't or choose retain Barco ... and
We don't see...
I think he was following orders.
FH wants his full backs high. Or at least one of them. Whoever we have in there is going to be caught wrong side sometimes, as no matter how quick they are, they aren't as quick as a ball being passed.
If this is Pervis Brighton playing obituary, he can go our our gratitude and the promise of a warm reception on his return to the Amex. He's been a good and at times very good left back. Historically a problem position for us!
It's good that we're finding this out now as we need to consider...
I saw Potter in Hove Waitrose a few weeks ago. Unfortunately my brain couldn't gear change from "do I want mushrooms for tonight" to "launch a tirade of abuse" fast enough and the moment went
So what's your thoughts on Pervis then?
I thought this was his weakest season with us. Not bad, but didn't hit the heights and maybe never got himself completely fit towards the end
I also think full backs are going to get caught upfield under Hurzeler. It's the manager's decision and we get...
Just can't agree.
I'm pretty confident Barco will be considered one of the best left backs in world football in a few years .... though he'll always be well behind Nuno Mendes who I reckon will go on to be Maldini / Lahm good
Greenwood is a different matter. He committed, or at least it seemed from the footage, serious criminality. Nobody is suggesting that's the case here.
Barca took on Suarez after it was clear what he had done and he formed part of maybe the best attacking trio in history.
The point is a...
Re Barco. Or anyone who has failed the (laughably still continually droned on about) non dick heads test. Does it matter?
A football manager is there to manage players. They're not all little angels and actually, that's not important. That's Hurzeler's job. He's got to get him to play well...
