Just wondered if any of you guys knew about where some of our players are up with injuries or just disliked by MoPo
Jan - Think we missed him yesterday, Him and Dier/Fazio when the squad is fully fit
Walker - Saw he put a picture up about getting out of surgery, I miss his pace down the right
Bentaleb - Hopefully MoPo realised his a little young atm, shows potential but Dembele a stronger choice, wouldnt suprise me if we went back in for Schneidlin in Jan
Paulinho - God knows, really splits fans opinions in 2, wouldnt be suprised if he follows Sandro out the door (I miss the Beast)
Soldado - Fittness or MoPo preference keeping him out the team, I wanna see the Gaffa give him a good run and a fair chance. Ade too slow, not got the skill to beat a man and shoot. Also bored of him hanging out on the left wing
Also why hasnt Franco Baldini been sacked yet?
Any concrete news on the players above suggesting how long there out for or why there not being played is most appreciated

The transfers are down to various people not just one man. baldinis main role (and you can see this in the papers if you dont believe me) is to go into a transfer before collecott and help smooth the way. He also does the usual things a technical director would which is sort things inside the club be it certain staffing appointments, liase with the head coach etc. Darren eales is a massive lose as was sherwood both were so prevelant in our back office procedures.
The managers role is dead it is all about head coaches these days. If the head coach aint working you change them for someone but you keep the core staff and the bulk of the players. Its a simple and easy concept.
Walkers injury is not as bad as its made out by the way. The way its been reported it sounds like he is out for the season, he will be back soon.

Vert has a new contract which will be announced but as far as I last heard. Kaboul was to be named club captain. Lloris was to be named team captain with vert as a vice captain.
verts pulled a minor groin strain in training on friday hence why he missed sunderland.
bentaleb was left out because of his travelling but poor adebayor was back last of all of everyone on friday and had to play against sunderland! He looked shattered and to be fair I dont blame him on this one occasion.

I believe you LLM
So he goes and "smooths the way" is that really necessary? He couldn't talk Southampton or Villareal into selling the players we wanted. He couldn't talk Welbeck into choosing us..
Our signings were all well within our reach, I suspect the Siggy swap deal suited both sides and didn't need smoothing over..
I get what you're saying regarding the organisation that goes on behind the first team these days but I don't see how it's doing us any favours. The manager seems to be disposable while there are countless examples of how crucial they can be to achieving success beyond a club's means.
I agree Ade looked knackered, he worked hard though!
