For The Record !

I read that before.

He is deffo saying all the right things at the moment.

No talk of keeping Kone though… Has his relegation release clause possibly already been met? or am I reading into it too much?

I am used to having to second guess all Martinez quotes for the past few years :cheer:

If the rumours of interest are right I think tis fair to say McCarthy is on his way in one direction or another. If we can keep hold of Maloney I will be very pleased! Kone too and I will be extatic ! and McCarthy as well I will be walking on sunshine.

To be fair out of Maloney, Kone and Mccarthy I am least worried about losing the latter as:

1.) It will bring good money for new recruitments.
2.) We have CM’s in abundance with Gomez, McCarthur, Watson, Espinoza and Fyvie.
3.) While I think he has been a cracking player for us I personally think you wont see the best of him until he is in a decent team. He had to much work to do for us and I think he has more of Lampards qualities to pop up in and around the box than we have seen.
4.) I dont think McCarthur got half the credit he deserved last season as the media spotlight was shining on McCarthy. I have a feeling McCarthur will be the main man under Coyle next year. A few times last season when he came off the bench he seemed to completely change the direction of the game! A good early shout for player of the season.

Coyle’s first press conference is today so hopefully he can give us a little bit of information on his plans going forward.

If truth be told I was dissapointed with his appointment but ever since he has taken the job what little has been said I have liked and I genuinely hope he can do the business for us.

Alternatively he is on a 1 year contract and we can get shut rapido ;)
