Fulham Broadway 17,315 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Well i hope he hasn't made that judgement on the back of the 2 pre season games. SWP was very inconsistant again in the last game.. time will tell what happens, but i will be extremely dissapointed if we don't upgrade our attacking options this summer. Theres a definite case for the reasoning that the squad came so very close last season to everything, that Scolari feels an extra hunger and 10 % is ready to be unleashed, and that certain players have something to prove. Some players are way, way overpaid, received millions in their transfer percentage alone , and the fans deserve payback. Its not like they dont have the ability. Sidwell, Ben Haim and possibly Pizarro were the main ones to be shot of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man you will strengthen still this summer after winning the 2 big ones. If 4-3-3 is the way we are going to play this season then Scolari really needs to have a good assesment of the players he has. He will learn more from the games in Russia thats for sure and also once the season starts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does however give them a chance to gel, and Scolari to make preliminary assessments. As you say they wont really come under fire until the Russian games, and from that he will have more of an idea about strengths and weaknesses. A contigency will have been arranged should Madrid continue playing silly buggers, but the arrival of Robinho would almost definitley signal the exit for SWP....

The Russia games are going to be very interesting. The games so far have been great for allowing the players to get used to each other. Now we need to how they do under real pressure and against quality opposition. I expect Joe Cole and Kalou to hit some excellant form this season. So far there have been no poor performances in pre season, which for me shows how easy it has been for them so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessman 9 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Yeah, It's sad to see Shaun leave, it upsets me a bit to see English players leave, I think there should be tradition in the game, there Should be English players in the English league, It has transformed heaps since the old days.
