And, vulture, you've watched him exactly how many times, to be able to say that "he is just shit"?

Who / What comment are u reffering to chap?

Young. Foreign country. Different style of football. Different training regime.

My impression of him at Southampton was that he seemed a bit frail, a bit of work on the weights would really help him. I'm reasonably sure that his position would have been the one giving Gus most to think about prior to the match.

Why, er......

he is just shit

...this.

he is just shit

nice thing to say about an albion player. i have seen him come off the bench a few times and against peterbourough and brentford he looked really good. maybe we should let players have more than 3 or 4 games before we write them off as being "shit". usally people like you who say these things dont really know alot about what makes a good player. would he not be shit if he wore white boots or scored a tap in?

Young. Foreign country. Different style of football. Different training regime.

some people seem to think he should be class straight away. i trust gus more than some of the twats on here.

Is not good enough yet. I'm not going to comment on his potential but at the moment, he is certainly a weak link. Smith in for saturday please Gus. And Murray in for Wood while you're at it.

Indeed. Football is littered with players that don't hit it off straight away.

Bale. Pavuylechenko. Butters. Forster.

 

[Sam Ovett]

I believe Forlan is a fair example?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Hasn't played well in the 3 games? Ye games we didn't win which U wouldn't put done to him....likewise played well wen com in on as sub in games we won...well I wouldn't put those wins down to him either. Smith looked good wen he came on as sub ....b interesting to c wot he wud hav been ilk if he had played 3 games on trot...maybe we will c this happen

It's a long season....and IMHO Bati will b a useful squad player.....pity Sparrow was out for the Saints game ...I think his experience wud hav served us well in the middle of the park

Funnily enough myself and the good Granny Weatherwax discussed this at half-time on Tuesday and give it 6 months or so and he may well make it but at present far too light weight and easily muscled off the ball.

So you're calling me a twat for my opinion - how very fair of you. How do you know Gus isn't doubting Batti's credentials after 3 poor performances (as most would agree)? I'll answer that for you - you don't.

everyone can have a opinion, football is about opinions. but what i hate is when "fans" just call players shit.

And while we are at it - calling Sandaza s*** when he hasnt been even 50% fit yet, and only played about a couple of hours of football at most is bordering on the ridiculous... lets get him fit and then see how good he is shall we?

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

I think batti & baz are trying a little too hard to impress and should settle down to doing the simple stuff 1st. I wouldn't write them off yet.

It's a bit similar to Barney Davies eyt look how well he is playing now. OK, it's a league below but he's scoring some class goals.

 

[Chesney Christ]

I actually think Chesney Christ who posts on here is a better player than Batti

I love you Sheebo. I reckon Batti is better at football than me though.

 

[Soul Finger]

I love it when all you football 'experts' come up with such gems as 'he's shit'.

The crap Navarro copped on here was frankly ridiculous. Then a few weeks later everyone's licking his balls saying what a legend he is.

El-Abd was absolutely crucified by some of the idiots on here too - look at the praise he gets now.

The rubbish I heard emanating from the South Stand at half-time during the Bristol Rovers game was embarrassing. Ten minutes later the same people are singing 'Gus Poyet's blue and white army'.

The fickleness is incredible.

Batti had a poor game on Tuesday, but let's not write him off yet.

Gus knows what he's doing.

 

[Mellotron]

I'm sorry but Navarro WAS dreadfully out of shape when he first came and he has even ADMITTED this since, so you are talking balderdash.

Also that's just how it works. A player plays badly, they get slated. They play well, they get praised. Simple really.
