if a new manager man came in now he would need to build a brand new team 3 first team defenders ,3 first team midfielders and a support striker-he would also need to change the set-pieces and wait for a few years for all the deadwood to run down their contracts. thats after 5 yrs of rafa and its is disgraceful..for me he should have been sacked on dossenna alone. 8million on a joke ,stephen warnock is behind maybe clichy,evra,cole as best left backs in the prem yet rafa decides a meatball is a better option and an 8million pound meatball at that. gillett and hicks must look at their 8 quid and seriously question whether rafa has any football knowledge whatsoever
i think i said in another thread, there is nothing a coach can do if the young english players wants to play week in week out and not wait for his turn! A younf argentinian boy will be more that willing to wait for his turn.
Same goes for crouch, he wanted play week in week out, under ths manager you will never get that unless you are part of the spine of the team.
So we dont know if warnock wanted to leave or if Rafa told him to leave. most yong english player want to play week in week out, Ryan Shawcross, Stephen warnock etc.....
Young argentinian Insua fr example is willing to wait his turn, like Ngog. How many young english strikers are willing to be like Ngog?
