"We’ve got enough we can build around, Joe Allen, Lee Gregory, Nick Powell, James McClean, Tom Ince. We’ve got players throughout the squad. Bruno Martins Indi.
Somebody really needs to stop him giving interviews, its beyond embarrasing now, like reading some sort of Ricky Gervais management parody.
Let alone the fact he names only one of his signings, Bruno who hes has signed 3 players to replace, no Badou or Etebo mentioned who are clearly our best 2 players. James Macclean, a 31yr old average winger who he has been picking at fullback. Tom Ince, a winger when he doesnt even play wingers? Give me strength.
That group contains a headless chicken, a puff of wind forward, a player that has not featured in at least 10 games, and no goalkeeper or defensive player!! There are at least 8 of his own signings missing.
Panic stations! We're bloody doomed with this guy!
I've stopped listening to him or reading his articles now - they're all utter drivel. He's talking the talk, but not even starting to crawl let alone walk the walk.
Enough is enough Nathan.
At least the club haven't wheeled out any of the "star" players to support the manager lately. That says more than enough about the situation because they've always been ready to do this for our managers during this downward spiral.
And in a nutshell that is why we are where we are. Joe Allen- great runner, no positional discipline, cannot pass got an awful touch. Tom Ince- yeah of course. Still waiting to see the “kill for Stoke”( metaphorically) attitude that Jones would instilll into the squad. Also still waiting for a run of games where he shows this game changing ability that he is supposed to possess. James McLean- great heart but just an inadequate LWB or footballer in general. Nick Powell- will we see him play 50% of games? Lee Gregory- works hard and half decent; however with the level of support he gets he’ll do well to score 8. BMI- Jones wouldn’t even play him for the first 6 games. Jones is the footballing equivalent of Colonel Cathcart from Catch 22.
Is this bloke just having a laugh?? Allen is a headless chicken and we’ve looked better without him McClean runs around a lot but his lack of defensive ability has been the reason we’ve conceded so many goals and there’s no place in his diamond when in his natural position of left wing. Ince again doesn’t really have a place in his natural position and generally looks like he can’t be arsed BMI is only here because we couldn’t get anyone to buy him but is the best we’ve got there. Gregory works hard but it’s yet to be seen if he has anything more or is just a poor mans SJW. Powell is a crock
Joe Allen, the canine named Kurst Lee Gregory, a goalless, paceless striker Nick Powell, a blister would see him miss 6 weeks James McLean not our best LB or Winger Tom Ince only when he wants to BMI wants out as much as Badou.
Is it just British managers who totally ignore the ability factor
Somebody really needs to stop him giving interviews, its beyond embarrassing now, like reading some sort of Ricky Gervais management parody. I am totaly fed up of this shit now.
“Elvis Presley’s death deprives our country of a part of itself. He was unique, irreplaceable.He burst upon the scene with an impact that was unprecedented and will probably never be equalled. His music and his personality, fusing the styles of white country and black rhythm and blues, permanently changed the face of American popular culture. His following was immense. And he was a symbol to people the world over of the vitality, rebelliousness and good humour of this country.”President Carter
My take on that comment is that Butland, Etebo, Badou have been told they can go when an acceptable offer has been received. Until then they need to play for a move.
But he really couldn't list everyone in the squad and some like Woods (the leaker) Cousins, the purchased FBs are out of favour and don't deserve a mention.
He really should be careful naming players as all sorts of inferences can be drawn.

No Etebo or Badou
He really doesn't do himself any favours does he? He may fail to mention Badou and Etebo because he thinks they will be gone. But, if by some miracle we did turn things round quickly then those two would be a big part of the transformation - and he'd be more sensible to build them up as the best players in the squad - which is what they probably are. If you want to get the best out of a good player they you should be telling the whole world what a good player they are. You certainly shouldn't attempt a listing of the players you could build a squad round and blatantly miss out two of the best.
It looks like Badou & Etebo are playing full out to keep their stock high for a move which is good for us in the short term but really worries me if they do go in January.
I notice Joe Allen is the first name mentioned. What a fucking surprise! I'm starting to find myself disliking Jones. Pull the trigger Mr Coates'and get in someone else, please.
“All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. ... Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.”

The weakness in your theory is that Butland looks like he is playing for early retirement!

I don't think there is a buyer any longer for Jack at any price, who would match his wages?
I can seeing him playing his last contracted season for us next season then we just spin him off on a free and he takes a the wage cut.
It's an astonishing demise, kind of mirrors our own.

Bollocks, just utter constant drivelous reams of bollocks. 2 out of the 6 are his signings so are all the rest shit then. Tom ince, give over, work rate of a snail Joe allen must have welsh shit on NJ because despite being shit and fitting into the team like a pig in a herd of cows hes never going to be dropped.
Please someone take the mike off this dickhead now

No Etebo or Badou
Having read the article I'm just aghast, the man is delusional and gets worse every time he opens his mouth. He's obviously watching different matches and different players than all of us.
