Just pulling your leg mate.

You do a wonderful job mate.

It actually disappoints me that Gonzo and Geo don't write on here no more.

Clearly I've missed something. What's the reason behind that?

In all honesty I really cannot see what Soucek offers us apart from someone running around for 90 minutes , his passing is non existent he hasn't a creative bone in his body , he lacks any sort of pace , he rarely tackles ( Yes I know I am blind and cannot see is attributes . )
Ok he is tall so comes in handy I suppose with headed clearance in the box and around the midfield , he does manage to into the box and get his head on the end of maybe a cross/corner or the opponents headed clearance but I want to see more from our central midfielder , and in my eyes he really does not have it .

Don't get me wrong I like the lad , but I think the starting eleven can be improved upon , do we really need a Fellani playing in claret and blue ? . I do not want to see us turned into what Moyes see's as his new Everton of hardworking under achievers clones of Hibbert - Osman - Neville - Cahill and Fellani .

Of course the starting eleven can be improved on. Given an obscene amount of money we could replace any of the starting 11 with better. Yes, even Declan Rice. But there are many players who, at least imo, are more replaceable than Soucek. For the money we paid for him, just like Coufal, he represents excellent vfm. And for a club apparently short of readies vfm is the be all and end all. Which makes it even more incomprehensible why sicknote 2 is apparently being offered a fucking 3 year contract. The club, as always, is being run like a fucking whelk stall.

Soucek has brought stability and a certain resilience to our midfield .
Moyes may or may not have been responsible for his arrival , I have my doubts , but Moyes is certainly responsible for rendering him useless by including Noble in the same midfield.

I would even go as far as suggesting that Rice may not be as good as he seems if Soucek were absent .

What the Messiah give with one hand he taketh away with the other.

But did we need that resilience against the likes of Fulham - Sheffield Utd - Palace and Brighton ? .

PS Remember I did the same with Anderson and was proved correct.
