Our Elvis Manu.....

[swindonseagull]

I don't know why, but I DO feel a bit sorry for Manu, or to give him his full name, Manu-Offsideagain. He should probably never have signed as he's just not good enough. I guess he thought he'd get his chance but even when that has come, he just hasn't stepped up sufficiently well. I reckon he's the sort of player who could be a success at another club, sometimes people just don't fit at a club for no apparent reason. Who was that shite loanee who ended up at Swindon where he still is? I reckon Manu-Offsideagain is better than he was, so maybe a lower-half Championship club might be interested in him?

Im afraid Manu with his actions/ mannerisms either thinks he is owed a living or he really cant be arsed,
If he is on the bench against Villa just watch his warm up.

I dont thinbk that he will be as AK will be back and Manus place on the bench will be taken by Solly.

Plus he will be behind KLL too now that he is fit again...

Shame as thought he might come good. Obviously CH sees it differently . Recoup what we can now I suppose

Just not working out for him,however both parties signed the 3 year (,i think) contract,i guess his value,in fee and wages have dropped. Will he leave for footballing reasons........i think not !!!! We will have to pay him off.

Elvis doesn't even make the U23s tonight who give runouts to March, Towell, LuaLua and Pocognoli.


Will be on Seagulls Player.

When you are out of the team with little or no chance of playing other than perhaps a few minutes towards the end of a game, it must be difficult to stay motivated and part of the group. However this is where the manager gets to see the character and determination of the individual, some players will relax into accepting their lot, whereas others will double their efforts to either force their way back into the team, or to ensure they are ready to grasp the chance if someone is injured to ensure they stay in the team when they get there.
The difference between winners and top players and average players.

Spot on. See Goldson (C).

To be fair Albion can only field 3 outfield over- age players - ie: Poco (29), Towell (25) and LuaLua (25) so someone would have had to miss out.
March is still 22.
Goldson (23) and Uwe (30) who have had very few minutes recently don't make it either.
I guess a fair few of them will turn up in the Wimbledon cup match next week.

Face it, no player associated with The Netherlands (no matter how daft or derivative the name might look on the back of a replica shirt) is going to make it at the Albion anytime soon. Judged by the uniformally piss-poor quality of the imports we get shipped out to us, Eredivisie must be the softest league in the Western world.

Schteeve McLaren won the title there. Enough said.

They're not very fond of dispossessing the opposition over there. Or breaking into a stride.

But Elvis only turned 23 recently, isn't he automatically eligible?

The mystery of Manu. Yep. I guess he's been spared for the Checkatrade Trophy run out.

Definitely not a league you can trust, but there are good players to be had (Virgil Van Dijk about to move for £40 million...?). You've clearly got to know it pretty well though, and not just rely on stats.

It's not just our level (Bergkamp, Manu, Holla, etc) where you can get burned - £17m Jansen at Spurs has disappointed, and Man United are trying to find a buyer for Memphis Depay, to recoup some of their losses on him.

Not too unlike the situation in Scotland in some ways. Take Celtic & Rangers out of the SPL, and there isn't a lot of quality left. Same in the Eredvisie, with Ajax. Feyenoord, and perhaps PSV.

There isn't any quality in the SPL full stop. I can only think of Dembele out of any SPL team who would get into our team. Rangers would struggle in league one and Celtic would be mid table in the championship as it stands.

That little Israeli international from Celtic could do a job I reckon.....
