Because he seems like an injury plagued player like Ferguson. Brilliant but never out if the treatment room. Played very few games in last two years

AFAIK he's been injured for a while and season is a write off anyway, 6 months will put him into next season which is the next time he'll be playing competitively so doesn't much matter, but yes, very very stupid.

Apart from the brilliant part, sure.

Biz, as for changing what he does, I've read stuff like changing his car and moving closer to the stadium and changing how he trains. However, he's done this, come back from injury and still has the problem, how many times can you change how you play, but ultimately get injured on the pitch playing football, the common factor in how he gets injured seems to be, playing football. Also at this point in football, when throwing silly money at physio's and players, how "wrong" do you think he was training before to make the injury worse, and if they've gone and found some great ways to avoid hamstring injuries, and they still don't work...

Meh, I never saw much in him at Everton despite being constantly raved about, and he's a sicknote. I think he goes down like many other players who have barely performed, had one or two good games against some top team, got injured and everyone acts like that one great game was all that player is, and if he stopped being injured that best game would be what they could do every game. Absense makes the football fan dafter... as the saying should go :p

Yes. Changes to how he trains, what equipment he uses, when he trains and so on.

Well it may turn out to be a bad deal but surely you have to give it time before claiming it is a terrible deal?

When Gerrard was younger I am sure he had plenty of injury problems and Liverpool didn't just get rid of him as an example.

Sorry mate but Rodwell is a crock and barely above average as a player even when fully fit. I'v seen him have one or two good games in his career but that's about it.

Brilliant business from Everton really to offload him for that price.

I don't really think people are saying that it's a bad deal for City, but it's definitely a good deal for Everton. In terms of squad depth City can afford to have players sat around injured more than a team like Everton can.
 
Can't believe it... We(Brighton) have, in a few weeks, gone from having too many strikers to having one to choose from for the next game! Sold Dobbie. Hoskins and CMS out for the season and Barnes Ill

Gus is talking about getting someone in on loan now. Gonna be tough to find someone good enough, who also doesn't mind playing second fiddle to Ulloa.

Just as things were starting to go our way:(

Don't even know who would be available really.

ultimately Spurs have it easier this year, Everton have clearly dropped out of the way, Newcastle have had a terrible year due to injury and europe coupled with years of debt and a small squad/wage budget..

that's not our fault.

most managers could've got spurs into the top 4 last year. redknapp got lucky by holding onto 4th (though not as lucky as arsenal did on the last day, when WBA's keeper essentially gifted them goals) but back then we had VDV, modric and king.

we're now bedding in a new keeper (who looks decent) have lost king (his time was up, vert is a fine replacement) have lost the flair of VDV and modric but replaced it with a more combatitive centre in dembele (a crucial signing, a better signing than modric in some aspects) and sandro/parker.

bale did have a free role for large parts last season, missed lots and hit the bar a lot. he's obviously worked on his accuracy and the rewards are coming.

AVB deserves massive respect for rising to the challenge, especially after how he must have felt after the chelsea experience.

first few games of the season were not pretty (playing with 2 holding mid's. more down to lack of options that choice) but he has made his mark on the team, personally and tactically, i quite a remarkable short time period.

at the start of the season, we were throwing leads away in the last 10 minutes. we're now winning or equalising in the last 10 minutes. shows progress and belief to me.

for all the entertainment and flair we had with VDV and modric in the team, it is worth remembering, there were more than a few times where we were completely out muscled in midfield. this doesn't happen so much anymore.
 
Yes we are away at Leeds for the second to last game. Then wolves on the last day, who it looks like will need a result probably. Forest have really picked up since getting rid of Mcleish!

I am not overly confident atm anyway. We have 3 away games in a row. A draw last night with Bristol city(which I didn't mind, as they have beaten a few big teams recently) charlton next then barnsley(another team in need of a result).

You really can't 'expect' a result against anyone in this league!.... Impossible to tell who will get there really, Leicester are starting to fall away now as well.
 
Cardiff trying to throw it away too, only Watford have consistency in that league. They have a great squad to go into the Prem with, Cardiff's team on paper is a big fat meh!

Watford are by far the best team I have seen down here this season. Their counter attacking was just too much to handle!... How many of their players do they a really own though?

The other best team were Millwall, when they still had Chris Wood... Then they sold him and now they are closer to relegation than playoffs.
