Because it’s a key position and we haven’t got anyone for it? Just a thought. But if there is no one available that he thinks can do the job why waste money and load the gun for criticism? Better the devil you know until someone is available. So there’s no one in the world of football for us? So we have a 34 year old and Jimmy McClean.  Please |

Two midfielders and an oap. Mint. Bayern you're being over dramatic again if Ward is an OAP then fuck knows what I am. He's still a young man but an older player. For the position he’s an oap. |

Perhaps he got his and Campbells age mixed up. Not like its a massive difference, could understand if he was 25 next year. |

Is it me or did he come across a bit arrogant and pissed off? I agree. It happened with Rowett as well, Stoke fans nit-picking every little thing he does or says, constantly knowing better than the manager. |

It’s one more and he’s not, well shouldn’t be a starting player. We need one now, it was the key transfer this window. If we buy Gayle then there was a left back that was in budget..... Buy an, you're an absolute panic merchant. You've only got to look at that tweet you've just posted. Panic? No panicking. It’s just the same shit in a different window. And people accepting that shit. We all pretty much agreed that left back was the position we needed. If you would have said in April that James McClean was going to be our starting left back this season on here, you would have been called a negative cunt and told to fuck off to the Vale. |

Clearly! He praised his abilities as a footballer and talked about how much he needs a change in scenery. He said that it's not the fault of Bojan or anybody else that he's not been in the team. He alluded to the amount of time that his good spell lasted but didn't want to elaborate further on things said in confidence. None of that screams out that it's anything to do with his ability as a player Let's be honest here, if he doesn't work out with a Spanish speaking manager who has a #10 as an integral part of his system, maybe it's not just the manager that needs to be thought about. Ummm no he realised he knew fuck all about his injury then nearly said said maybe he could have given him more [ummm].... and I think that ummm was “minutes” not “access to mental health professionals” Yes, he did say what you've just written, as part of a much longer answer that included, pretty much word for word, what I've written in my post. I believe that he also said that he could have been more patient with him, rather than could have given him more minutes, but I could be wrong on that. Off the field stuff doesn't mean that he needs mental health counselling. Who knows what it is? The manager rightly kept the conversations in confidence. |

And yet looking back at the Leicester highlights he was probably the most positive, energetic, driving, forceful player we had on the pitch, driving past with ease top quality premier league players. Not bad for a useless wanker. |

Did anyone asked why the club don't just employ 'Buy an Oatcake' in a Player/Penalty Taker/Manager/Coach/Scout/Accountant/CEO role?
With all that money saved we could have just bought David Alaba.

Evolution better than revolution, he's aware and he's not ruled out upgrading. He's signed a large number of players more than I was expecting to be fair and enough for now if I'm being honest. Not saying he's wrong just a opnion. |

All the questions were fair and obvious. It was an interview? Where people were supposed to ask questions? |

"Only one target, Promotion" Christ, talk about loading a gun in front of your balls! I'd have been disappointed if he'd said "10th, and a decent run in the Rumbelows Cup" to be fair. |

He gets very spikey when challenged. Probably why he dodged the supporter Q&A @ Delilahs last season. |

That's pretty poor man management to sat what he did regarding Ward. Although he didn't directly say "he was the best of a bad bunch", his words are easily interpreted.
I'd be pretty unhappy and demotivated if I was Ward.
Strange assertion about the team having good mobility and being able to get about the pitch too. I know he didn't use the word "pace" but his words were certainly alluding to address that particular subject matter.
Yes, we've got players with good engines and players who work hard (McClean, Allen, Gregory etc) but nobody who appears to have genuine pace. Certainly not the kind of pace that would worry defenders.
The only player we've got in the squad who can carry the ball, beat players and transition from defence to attack is Etebo. We seem overly reliant on one player, with a whole load of workhorses around him?
We need a pacey forward and we need a monster DM. Those 2 are absolute musts.
I'd add LB to the list but it seems pointless now that Nath has ruled that out.
Having said all of the above, the season starts on Saturday and I'm starting to feel like a kid on christmas eve again. I absolutely love football and I love my club.
It'll probably be 2 games in before I'm miserable as fuck and fed up with it all again, so I'm making the most of it.
