Rafalution Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 should really just be Gotze again but probably nicer with this sort of thing to recognise someone else. Muniaian or El Shaarawy seem obvious 2, maybe Courtois Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRJ Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Nah, reckon he's the type of guy that ends up at a Swansea type club and achieves nothing despite having mass potential before moving there but the manager never gets the best out of him.

Razzler Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I think it's to help nudge public opinion towards this 'Brenden Rogers playing style' which hasn't reaped results as yet.

Divinity Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I see we have issued an apology to the blogger. Club apologising means they accept his version of events then. If so, Chang should be unemployed now. Within his probationary period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readingfanman Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Anyone heard any rumours of BR lining up Alex Pearce to replace Skrtel at Liverpool up north, getting a few people starting to mention it here now. He's been left out of the team until he signs a new contract currently, and rumours are abound he may be heading to Anfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divinity Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yes, I'm certain that Martin Skrtel who just signed a new contract is being replaced by Alex Pearce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalution Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 i could see BR going for him, but as competition to Coates and a replacement for Carra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Club apologising means they accept his version of events then. If so, Chang should be unemployed now. Within his probationary period. Well, there is still an investigation isn't there? I think Ayre has helped usher this one away, official apology without actually saying 'we believe Chang is a total nutter' but also saying that Chang did not behave appropriately at all. Blogger bloke seems happy and from a public perspective I don't reckon we'll hear too much more about it. I think this Chang will get a slap on the wrist but will keep his job at least for the short-term but there must be some question marks over his handling of things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 They don't really specify that Chang was a total nutjob though (although I reckon what Jenkins said was more or less true) they just apologise for him being inappropriate towards Jenkins and that seems enough so it works out not too bad for Chang. I doubt the internal bit of this will make it to the public eye and Jenkins seems to have been placated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshyboy1984 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yeah Owen and Sterling's careers in terms of timelines are quite similar. Both got in at the back end of the season they were 17 years 6 months then both became first team regulars at the start of the next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he's got genuine quality though, he's very raw but I love his enthusiasm and his will to make something happen, granted it doesn't always work but I like that he's not afraid to do something.

Rhino Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 He's had some great games this season, and is really beginning to show that he could be a regular England player in future. Had a stinker against Anzhi, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
