We don't know to what extent Wilf brings his baggage into work with him but you have to think that the circus surrounding him for the last year or so has to have some impact on the overall morale of the team, even if Wilf doesn't intend it to. Of course, from a different perspective, it could be that all footballers are single minded and selfish and don't give a toss about anything except money, but you would hope that is not the case.

Camaraderie is another name for this game, the main reason Watford and Bournemouth died.

I thought we finished 14th, so there were 6 worse teams than us! You agree that Lombardo was the most talented player to wear the shirt, how long for isn't a crieria .

Even so, he is still our best player and we will be relegation fodder without his threat. If I thought we could attract players of a similar class, I would be happy to move him on but sadly, we cannot.

It’s because we put too many eggs or wages in 1-3 players that we end up in these problems. Mark Zaha or foul him and wind him up and that’s job half done. Your strategy basically says, like you stated last summer, keep hold of Zaha in the hope we get bought over, which I don’t see happening and while he’s likely to decline in his head and legs. Once or if we get a decent bid in none of it will matter anyway because he’ll throw the biggest strop yet. Blimey he threw one without a bid in at the end of last summer’s window apart from the earlier Everton bid.

He was still one of our highest performing players according to whoscored etc. He still carried the ball more than any other player and completed more runs and passes than almost every other player in his worst season with us. As for the disruptive influence, you have just pulled that out of your @rsehole.
As for your second paragraph.....again, there is none so blind as those who will not see and the overwhelming response to your bizarre remark says it all really.

I think she preyed on wilf because he was lonely in Manchester. Only logical explanation I can come up with.
