rafa will be sacked soon no doubt Doubt it, he's got a 2 year contract and is only a few points off the position they finished in last season.

Good points well made spice, but you lost me when you mentioned Spearing and "great players" within the same sentence. You say that, but he did ok when Kenny was the manager, he was Bolton's player of the year when we loaned him out. Now with both Lucas and Allen out and Gerrard becoming slower, he would have slotted in nicely in the holding midfield role.

Spearing was [oops] and if he wasn't a local lad he wouldn't have got a look in.

Hence the reason some Spanish clubs are willing and wanting to take him on loan. Maybe BR (and it is MAYBE) is just letting him find his feet and get settled. Shelvey is better than Alberto at the moment, but you got to question why Swansea are doing so averagely this season, maybe Shelvey is contributing to that. As for Aspas, I did say he was poor. I'm not blowing any players trumpets, but my categories have relevance.
You can't blame Shelvey for their form, more likely that their top scorer last season has been injured for the last 3 months. Saying that, they're still only 3 points off 10th and apparently their aim this season was simply to avoid relegation.

Never blamed him, more like said that he's part of the reason that they're doing so crap.

How old was he then, 21/22, he played 48 games for us before going on loan for the season in the Championship, he was then named player of the season for Bolton. He would have been useful this season with the extra experience he has got now.

If that's the level we're going to have for cover then we truly are doomed. Yes he tried hard but so did Kuyt and he was slated week in week out for not being good enough.

I would blame him for his part, for sure.

I would rather have Kuyt on the wing instead of Sterling right now, just as I would rather have Spearing as our holding midfielder rather than Geriatric.
