Presumably we're lumbered with his wages until the end of the season, so I assume he'll continue with us on the off-chance he makes it back for the play-off final.
I'd be happy if they were, I think they're both more than capable and it would be good for the youth to get in a dead rubber game, but Tymon was doing a community thing at Malet Lambert school today, it would be a bit of a surprise if he's in tomorrow's squad.
Another 6/7 changes again i am expecting but who ? I would keep Dawson for nerxt week against Colin's mob. Go on Steve Bruce,, play 3 - 5 -2 @ Bolton. Maguire has to be the FIRST name on the team sheet now. Another Hull City win. Regardless of team selection.
Can't help but wonder what could of been if Bruce hadn't been so intent on fitting diame in at the detriment of sacrificing a striker, I thought Hernandez and akpom showed some great signs of creating a partnership as far back as Blackburn at home but Bruce didn't really let it blossom shame
Bit of a kick in the nuts for 'arry but I can see that being the team too. Akpom could be a real wild-card for us going into these play-offs, I've never written him off like some. A fresh player like him with a bit of pace and potential to score could wreak havoc versus knackered Championship defenders, maybe that was Bruceys master-plan for him
Got to agree he's missed way to many easy chances this season as decent pace and work rate but still has a lot to learn, it really is a problem position for us this season, Diame on the other hand has the skill but not the heart if its a 50/50 he normally loses it. On form he can win a game and make all the difference but if he plays like he has been then you might as well not play him. Who ever SB puts in up front needs to be at their best because this is one major area in the team which will make the difference of going up or not. You either hope Diame hits form or Akpom comes in runs Derby ragged and takes his chances, Has for Diomande he's done ok but nothing which really stands out for me, its a real difficult choice for SB to make with no stand out player for me
That would be written into his contract with Man U (if it was, which it won't be), we wouldn't have any control over paying him a bonus or anything like that, we just pay a set amount on his wages and give him somewhere to live. Then maybe we should play the ball into his feet instead of hopelessly pinging balls into the area when he's on the pitch.
Arf. He's had plenty of balls into his feet and been weak as piss getting knocked off it consistently. Hence the sulking and arm waving petulance. The kids stupid enough to think he should be in the Arsenal first team. In reality he should be begging for us to buy him and really kick start his career.
Can see a few headed goals coming now after that comment... you are right though. I like the other aspects of his game, he is very raw so you know there is much more to come
