Shaun Wright-Phillips

[EskWeston 696]

I can understand the frustration at SWP, and Malouda seemed like a lazy cunt several games last term. Often players need the threat of exile to get the best out of them - Malouda has proven talent, SWP has pace and ability to take on and beat players, score fantastic goals, and even cross accurately. Too often hes given the ball away, first touch is pony, -this is more erraticsm of form than shiteness, and needs coaching -shouting at, imo to get the consistent SWP performing that everyone raved about at Man City. If Robinho doesnt arrive and SWP is not performing by Christmas consistently, kick the dwarf out.

Too late by then, we have gone long enough now without having the devestating impact players on the wing we need, the closest we have is Kalou with pace and ability to run at players but he seems to play better in a central role as a striker. We need big game players. Is SWP going to get any better? Did he look better in a poor Man City team? I just feel he has had enough time now, we need improvement there and SWP is the obvious casualty.

Lol, wouldnt say its too late -it's not as if he gets regular runouts. Lets wait and see, maybe Big balls Phil will get the best out of him, or lose patience.....

Well Kalou is going to miss the start of the season so either Malouda or SWP will be starting. I honestly don't think there is any more to come from him! I still believe we will sign a big name winger, and it will be interesting to see what happens then, with the press reporting that both SWP and Malouda are in Scolari's plans.....

This is probably down to the intransigence in the Robinho situation, but maybe big Fillipe sees untapped potential to be unleashed in the all new Malouda and SWP Show...

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.

Of course there is that argument, but you should never stand still. 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..

The Chinese games are really just a marketing excercise, with a kickabout tacked on. 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.

Why must he leave. He's better than Alex nway. Happy to have him with Chelsea before.

[Elliott 7]

Better than Alex? You mean the centre-back?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Or does he mean me?

[Jessman 9]

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.

[diskoviolente 425]

i am really sorry he left.had always the vision of a world class winger in my mind when i saw him play with just a bit more starts and full-time matches...

well, he should be concentrating on getting in the english squad...

[Fulham Broadway 17,300]
