Regardless of whether he's indispensable or not, and I happen to think he's not, it's a big IF regarding him recovering his preinjury fitness at all given the nature of his injury, I'd say. Look at at Butland, Etherington,Bojan, Shawcross and many other similar examples

Don't you think Jesus was a bit of a one trick pony? Remember - he only resurrected himself once and everyone thinks he is the Messiah because of it! That sort of comment touches a raw nerve with me Lakeland. Jesus Christ lived 2000 years ago, born into a carpenter's family, never formally educated, never left his home land or went far from his birthplace, preached for 3 years, but, whether you believe he was God or not, you cannot deny he has had more influence on the human race than any other person who ever lived. Most of it a good influence, and if any of his influence was used by people for evil, it was mankind's doing not Jesus, who 100% taught love and caring. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_populationsAll well and good but could he play LB?

Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient. So, self evidently, yes. Coincidentally, the three "Os" (as they were called) formed a tremendous midfield in that great Nazareth Town side in the 00-01 season.

I happen to think that pretty well most things are reasonable targets for humour - providing that the humour isn't itself malicious. I used to be an Agnostic but I think am now an Atheist/Humanist - but if religion (any religion) works for someone, that's fine by me. Anything that can help people cope with the stresses and strains of life has to be a good thing, providing of course that their faith does not cause them to cause harm to others. Humour is one of the things which helps me to cope with the world but I try not to cause harm to others when I deploy it. It was very funny, and clearly not intended to cause offence.

Allen was dreadful in the premier League for us and also in the championship pre MON. Since MON he's looked a different player, largely because he was holding his place instead of being the headless chicken I'd come to expect.If fit and he returns to the MON version pre injury we'll have a real good player on our hands, if he returns to pre-MON then get him gone asap. I'm not convinced, there was still no cover for the back for and more often than not a few steps behind his runner.

As a Defensive Midfielder Allen or Cousins for me Cousins Box to Box midfielder Allen or Clucas, Clucas easily As Attacking Midfielder Allen or Powell, absolutely no doubts about Powell being infinitely better. Allen didn't fit when he first arrived and he doesn't fit any better now.

Sadly no videos are available, but there is I believe a tapestry that records the three "Os" in their pomp - they were the Giresse, Tigana and Platini of their day. The Holy Trinity in fact. We were favourites to get promotion in the 00-01 season. We bombed.

Allen didn't fit when he first arrived and he doesn't fit any better now. That might be fair. I’d argue that there’s not much to choose between him and Clucas and he’s definitely better than Cousins if he could be more disciplined. The other question would be what would we do if Powell or Clucas got injured? Oakley Booth?

To answer you're question, spend the money saved on a decent AM option as cover, pref a young one.

Just for you Bayern😄👍 We want him back but we have to be mindful that it’s a very severe injury that he’s had. He’s keen to get back and he’s a huge influence in the team and dressing room.

Of course MON wants him back. I still think the club would sell if an offer came in. A huge influence on the massive pile of shit he's been a massive part of these last 4 years indeed.

If Mikel signs there should be absolutely no space for the fraud. Shunting Powell to the wing should never be an option.

Playing Powell on the left wing is just fucked up and a waste of our best attacking player.
