agreed. lucas is dropping form and allen is a waste of jersey fabric. I don't think the club have given up on Allen yet... he's looked decent when fit and the lad deserves a proper chance. You won't agree though... as he's not Luis Garcia... I still have hope in Allen, have seen a lot of glimpses of quality which unfortunately hasn't been consistent. We need him to perform as we are just too thin in midfield.

It's easier for us to write people off though....we didn't sign them and therefore our necks won't be on the line. I bet there are a few players that BR secretly regrets signing though, even if he won't admit it. In my opinion, sending someone out on loan that you signed, indicates you made a mistake. Borini, Assaidi....

Borini, Assaidi.... Borini perhaps... and it doesn't look like he'll get much more playing time at sunderland with the American Heskey there. I don't think BR will have given up on Aspas yet... he's hardly played in his normal position and when he did in preseason he scored. Unfortunately he is down the pecking order for that central berth... and he struggled in wide or playmaker positions where he has not yet played a full game. That doesn't make him a shyte player... he used to bang them in regularly in Spain. Don't know if you watched but he scored his first goal in his first game playing on the right wing of a 433 formation. I still don't understand what you have seen in him, you might just say you want to hope, it would be more understandable.

I still don't understand what you have seen in him, you might just say you want to hope, it would be more understandable. The only point I'm trying to make is that you can't assess a player based on a few minutes... especially young foreign players new to the premiership. I'm not saying he'll come good... or that I see something world class in him... I don't know... you need criteria in order to make a judgment and that takes more than a game or two. This is all about the dwindling attention span of the modern fan... and the embarrassing lack of patience applied to new players. Did your boss toss you out after your first couple of days at work when you were still learning the ropes and getting used to the place? I didn't think so... I would call it a hunch based on experience rather than a dwindling attention span personally KP.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

I don't think Allen is in the Wales squad - still out due to injury.
