The worst thing we did was let Arbeloa go. I wasn't happy at the time and i never have been happy since.
Glen Johnson is a great footballer but he is no defender and never will be. All we hear is how much he offers in attack, how often do we hear how great he is in defence?, never.
Time after time this Season he has lost possession in key areas of the field and left our defence stretched as he struggles or can't be bothered to get back. I've lost count of the amount of times he's wandered into the middle of defence when we're under attack and left attackers unmarked behind him, often not even aware of what he's actually doing, he always seems to get drawn in.
If the stories are true about this long term injury then Brendan needs F***ing shooting, surely there isn't a single supporter on here who would advocate Brendan playing an injured player?. Surely not, we have other options, options that are fit.
We heard the same old bollocks with Joe Allen, Brendan saying he'd been carrying a shoulder injury for months, it didn't stop him picking him though. I just don't get Brendan sometimes. Is he expecting educated supporters to sympathise with him?. Surely he can't be that stupid?.
Who the F**k is going to advocate playing an injured player?, it is madness, unless of course there are absolutely no other options.
If Glen Johnson does leave then i'll remember him as a good footballer, not a good defender, that's not the way it should be.
This is the last chance we have of commanding a high fee for him, i think we should cash in and promote from within or splash out on someone else.
