There we have it. Rarely nonsense reported by John Percy :-(

Sounds like the archetypal professional footballer.
Since when did a bad attitude stop someone getting in the international squad?

Percy is always bang on the money, seems like he's got a mole at every club.

Spoke to him 2 weeks ago apparently. Such disrespect for the best (by a long way) manager we’ve had at the club since Frank Clark in the early 90’s. That coupled with the fact the owners son recruited a number of players in the summer that cooper and his staff were unaware of. No wonder we’re struggling.
I was hoping the days of toxic ownership were behind us, but I was wrong, sadly.

Absolutely!
If I'm trying to stay positive - Newcastle didn't win til December last season, and look at them now. We've already got 4 points and are two wins away from Mid table....Granted, I'm not sure where those wins are coming from at the minute

It takes a while to bed in a lot of new signings - Villa made about 7/8 when we got promoted! Fulham famously did something similar too (but got relegated).
The fortunate thing is - with the winter world cup, the second half of this season anything could happen! Your manager will get extra time with any players not play for their countries - you may find you do alright!

That's if he's still here - which I fear he won't be! He should be given the whole season, regardless of what happens, but our trigger happy owner won't see the long game - as he's used to firing managers at Olympiacos when they don't win every week (already on their 3rd manager of the season!), because the greek league is Mickey Mouse.
Cooper's had less than 2 months with this squad and is expected to have them firing on all cylinders and has people getting involved that shouldn't be involved with the day-to-day football operations. He needs to be given the time, but I'm afraid he won't get it.

Should at least give him the January window so you can sign another 13 more players if it's not working out IMO.

Maybe you should let them have Djed Spence back if hes 3rd choice behind Emerson and Doherty!!!!

If he's third choice behind those two he must be absolutely useless anyway.

Seems sensible to have paid £20m for him then lol

Honestly not sure what's gone on with him. It seems he was bought by the club without Conte particularly wanting him. Conte has made comments that are basically saying he hasn't done much in training and is one for the future and not ready to play for now. I'd expect Doherty to get the nod in the next few Prem games, if not Perisic on the right with Sessegnon on the left.

Sweet christ - now being reported that the whole Recruitment Team is under fire....despite the fact the Owner's son meddled with the recruitment in the summer...so the actual people who know what they're doing are under scrutiny, but the kid who's playing with his dad's toy is not. Couldn't make it up.
We had 12 months of having stability and letting people get on with their jobs...now we're back to the owners sticking their nose in and generally taking the club backwards. I was so hopeful we were out of this cycle, but apparently not.

As a Spurs fan, believe me you’ll change your mind after a few games.
Aurier is a liability and I’m glad we got rid of him.
Only Emerson Royal and Davidson Sanchez to go. Plus bring in a creative midfielder and only then we might be better to watch ?

Feel for you mate. I wasn't having ago at Forest in the summer I just thought the recruitment was bizarre, typified by the Lingard signing on crazy wages.
Benitez would be a terrible mistake IMO.
