Don't understand the outcry about Silva not fancying Vlasic. We have been crying out for a strong manager who will make the hard decisions. Now we have one, and if he believes he is not good enough then he's not good enough.
Silva sees these guys every training session, he knows what he is looking for and if they don't fit then they don't fit.
Let me ask you this, would Vlasic get in a top four side? No. But that's what we aspire to, so I fully support what Silva is trying to do. And about bloody time.

{Ed025's Note - i like his style as well woburn..

Totally agree I think a lack of seeing him play clouds people's judgement i can't remember anything he's done to suggest he should be starting or playing regularly he didn't exactly take the sparse opportunities he got it is the same with bolasie he was awfull before his bad injury yet whilst he was out he's quite good on social media and he was som3how transformed into being a world beater without playing he comes back from injury and his performances have been on par with what they were before.

I wanted Silva over a year ago, like how he gets involved with the training, if Silva sees nothing in Vlasic then that’s good enough with me.

He works with the players and gets involved with the training so I will take Silva word for it.

He has already sussed Cuca, Williams and Miralles out.

Schnids must be showing something for him not to be in the mix with players training alone.

I agree folks but I’m going to be honest I’ve watched all but one of pre-season and went to Bury and Blackburn. NV has done no less than Sandro Ramirez or Tom Davies in pre-season. Factor in his age and the fact he is foreign . then Why on Earth has TD survived the cull along with SR?
Don’t get me wrong I want them all to succeed!

{Ed025's Note - basically blu pre season is more of a fitness test than a gauge of how good you are, tom has shown that the ability is there but he needs to toughen up a bit for me but he has certainly shown more than NV thats for sure, sandro is an enigma and even though i was desperate for him to do well he never fails to disappoint mate..

I know Ed, it’s such a shame with SR, I’m beginning to think our No 9 shirt is cursed! (Don’t mention Voodoo) . The TD is a strange one as he isn’t a holding midfielder, he doesn’t support the attack, hasn’t got a ‘dig’ on him, doesn’t run with the ball and doesn’t have a turn of pace. Does anyone actually know where he fits and what position? I’ve watched Dowell and ability aside I get his ‘position’ What you think Ed?

{Ed025's Note - i happen to like tom blu, can frustrate the hell out of me at times but i feel there is a player there mate..

Cheers Blue1, just about finished doing the highland fling with offloading Williams, only for you to remind me about Sandro.

Tom Davies is only just 20 years old. He broke into a team doing ok but then the team went through a very poor spell and had changes of manager etc. I see him as the box to box midfielder we all crave. To say he has no pace is wrong. Remember the goal against Man City when he 1st broke through? He had pace then. I think it was just too much for a young boy and he suffered 2nd season syndrome last season. He will bounce back. He has quality but not yet experience. That will come.

Age and confidence brings composure. That's what he needs. He's going to be a great player because of his work rate and attitude but not for 2 or 3 years yet.
