I'm pretty sure he doesn't play because he's fucking shite. A complete and utter waste of time and money.

Just caught a bit on knot fm suggesting he still can't hold a conversation in English.
That can't be good.
And, even at 4-0 down, Cameron (4 months out) preferred in a lost cause.
Let's face it, he's off in the summer.

i have no idea why people get upset about transfer fees paid, it's not our fucking money!
you could have been a season ticket holder for 30 years, been to every away match and added all the costs together - it still wouldn't equate to one weeks wage for most premier league starts
our ('the supporters') money means fuck all these days, so unless you sign the cheques for the players, lets all move on, on this tedious and boring school of thought

Shows how bad it was today when people are suggesting he's the answer. 18 million thrown away. Add Joselu and Shaqiri and you're looking at the thick end of 36 million quid. I wouldn't give Hughes anywhere near that again. He seem to do better shopping in the bargain basement. That's why I think they all need to play now to clear any doubt one way or the other whether or not Hughes should get more money we shouldn't go down so stick all the big signings in and see if they sink or swim

I just remember what an absolute beast he looked last season at Chelsea when he just kept bringing the ball out and no fucker could knock him off it. He clearly has talent. It's quite clear though defensive duties aren't his strong point. As things stand I'd like see him given a go as the advanced midfield player with two of Whelan ,Geoff Cam or Allen sitting. It is a possible answer though he was bought into replace Zonz, Allen and G Cam could work as you say Glen is sadly past it as is Charlie and Crouch, God help us when Walters is back, it is as if he bought Imbula on a whim like a new toy got pissed off with his new toy very quickly, then went out and bought Allen as a new toy to replace the expensive one he got pissed off with, to me he has not got a clue where to play the players he buys in doing so he has fecked the whole squad up. [br It's puzzling mate..We shouldn't have to rely on Glen week in week out..he just hasn't the legs anymore.Yet the manager appears to show no interest in replacing him. I'm prepared to cut Imbula some slack still in terms of his lack of defensive awareness. He is young , not played in this league before and ( as far as I'm aware ) doesn't speak English. Surely though we should have known this before we signed him and either planned to coach him properly or pick a team where he doesn't have to rely on that side of the game ? What I don't buy is why Allen or Cameron can't play DM.Allen has played it fine for Wales..and Cameron for USA? So it begs the question are they unwilling to take on instructions or can't our coaching team get their message across ? It's worth remembering 2 world cups have come and gone since Whelan last scored a goal yet when Pulis signed him he had been essentially an advanced attacking midfielder. If he can adapt his game and stay disciplined and hold his position why can't the others ? Surely it's not that hard for a professional footballer at this level ?

This transfer has been damaging in more than one way.

It's looking more and more like Imbula's problems are actually squad problems, his defensive side is lacking but then the whole team falls to pieces when our backs are against the wall, maybe Marc Wilson was right after all, if we did real defensive training through the week there's no way players like Shawcross would be so poor sometimes As for Imbula, does anyone carry the ball better? As in when he picks the ball up and really gets going he's like a steam train and that's what we're lacking, all Adam seems to do is foul and attempt 70 yard diagonals so giving Imbula a run wouldn't be disastrous, especially if he really gets his head down I couldn't have put it better myself. Despite my endless attempts to.

You can look at it in two ways
Either he's not getting in the team because of hughes' agenda, must be surely he's better than Charlie Adam?
Or he's not in the team cause he's not putting in the training, which in that case why did Hughes spend £18m on the bloke?

People criticise the defensive ability of Imbula, but it's not like we have been solid with Adam or Whelan in the team.
Imbula has been singled out by many on here. If he ever lets someone run away from him then there are 3 threads opened straight away, calling him lazy & useless etc. Adam (who I like) does this and nothing is mentioned.
It shows how poor our transfer policy has been, when we have really missed Geoff Cameron. We desperately need his athleticism and ball winning ability.
We need Imbula on the pitch, as he is one of only a few in our squad who can keep the ball and don't panic.
I'd play Cameron, Allen & Imbula in a 3 from now on.

I will tell you why he's not in the team.. because we're playing Crouch. That might seem strange but Hughes knows that Charlie can deliver balls into him and apart from Arnie nobody else does.
It's about time we went back to the style that Hughes was known for 2 years back and bring these players into the squad or he has to leave. Simple
442

His ball-playing is totally hit-and-miss...great when it comes off, one in ten occasions. His dead-ball delivery that was once worth £10m alone, has generally been woeful.

Simple 442 With the start we had to this season Hughes needed to do something to get points aboard before we got into real trouble. He did exactly what was needed and we started picking up vital points. I guess a lot of clubs would have loved their managers being able to do the same! I would still get 4-5 points more before starting gambling too much with our set up, but maybe that is because I'm a bit cautious. As I said in another thread I would make a couple of changes in personell for the next game, but no more than that. I would also ensure we have a solid defensive platform to build from no matter who we play!

If Imbula is played he shouldn't be expected to defend or you have a problem. The defence should be set up not to rely heavily on Imbula.

Maybe Imbula is now ready to go after accepting his punishment, let's get rid of the current midfield and give him and Geoff a try ,with Shaq (if he's over his attack of the vapours)at no.10. It can't get much worse can it?
