might pose a few more problems if 4-4-2 is the only way.

Well, he'd probably just ignore it and then become fixating on another player who he regards as "essential".

Probably already going there with Agyei

He has identified to manager to sort us out in Adams at Plymouth. Who has this season seen off sides like Crawley and Newport.

I'd have agyei up there instead of Barnes to see what he can do, young and hungry. Barnes offers nothing apart from his elbows

Yeah, probably on a thread about how good Tarkowski would be if played as a wing back

You also told us about Rene Smith months ago... for months.

You also told us about Edgar, Easton & Eckersley

You also told us about Lomas as manager although now its Adams.

Told us about Agyei on one of his five threads per day discussing how pish Dyche is for not playing Tarks in midfield, no doubt.

It would appear that ABC is being sussed by more and more people with each passing thread.

I recall him making a comment about a youth players abilities and I also recall CT asking them how abc would know anything when he most likely hadn't seen them play outside of a youth game.

I'm sure they've done the same about Agyei, but abc only needs 10 mins of youtube to know a player is going to be good.

Claretdom your information is so poor.
McInnes when OC and BL left
Adams when BL left.

Why not make the best use of the various media sources available, saves a lot of money.

Renny Smith we'll have to wait and see about but there were obviously issues because he appeared a deal better than what we have in the development squad.

Is this the Renny Smith who's now playing in Italy, in the 3rd tier or something like that?

Renny Smith looked a decent player and I admire him for trying the continental route. I fancy he may have issues because he was better than other players in the development squad at the time and maybe he won't make it at the top level but he certainly had ability, that's what I look for.

Not suggesting for a second he should be a starter (clearly not) but judging from this goal on 45 seconds, we clearly have a real talent on our hands. Loan him our to a Championship club? Who knows!!!??? Did Liverpool loan out Michael Owen? Wasn`t Theo Walcott getting appearances for Arsenal?

Agyei may turn out to be a very good footballer. However, based on what we have seen in our first team so far, he is nowhere near ready and the fact that we are having to put on such a player when we still have toat least win a game (or draw 3) to stay up is rather worrying.

I saw Renny Smith play in a pre-season game against Sheffield FC and he looked really impressive. Rowls was at the game and will confirm. However, it was very much a one off because he was absolutely nowhere near the level required to play in our dev squad and we did the sensible thing and shipped him out.

There were no issues whatsoever other than he was not good enough, so the comment here from ablueclaret is absolute nonsense.

Drawing in CT again, he's becoming as active as Jeremy, me thinks he protests too much.

Like Agyei lovely quick feet, and in Smiths case good vision.

A delightful player to watch but not perhaps a framework player.

Or just not good enough...

Just like the other young players the club has shipped out instead of persisting with certain ones like they used too.

Well he's played some football on the continent which is more than any of the development squad have. Lovely inventive player in my books.

In the Italian 3rd division at present.

His career has gone on a downward spiral from being at Chelsea/Arsenal to joining a Serie B club and loaned out to a 3rd division club where he isn't playing at all.

I'm sure he is lovely and inventive, he's still heading downwards to find his true level.
Don't be surprised if he remains a lower league player for the rest of his career at this rate.
