Roy is on record for wanting a gk among a target of 6/7 new signings last window.Well, I suppose we got one loan signing and a Polish defender,both not ready for the Prem as yet.Norwegian looks a good signing,though,all is not lost!!

Prior to the injuries Roy said CB was the one area we had plenty of cover, so this is not Parish's doing. Not many teams could still put out two senior CBs after losing three to injury (who has more than 5 CBs in their 25 man squad?)

I can't believe Sakho is not playing because he is scared. If that were true then he should give up football. Personally I think he probably just doesn't want to risk causing long-term damage which wouldn't be good for either party. Who knows, maybe Jach will be our new Luka.

On a positive note, we actually have more fit strikers available than at any other time this season (2), so there is that!

Someone talking sense.

I cannot believe some of the posts on this forum. Not happy just sniping at fellow posters some of you now want to snipe at the players as well.

If he is injured, then he is injured, simple as. When he is fit he will play. Unless someone has the inside track to him and knows that he is deliberately faking injury please do not post unsubstantiated sensationalist rubbish.

Sorry to say posting that pic does him no favours professionally

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

If the birth of his 3rd child is either THE reason or influencing his decision that his calf isn't right after almost playing at Everton 2 weeks ago then sorry that's a disgrace. I guess we'll never know if it is as Parish may not want his asset's reputation damaged if we need to sell him.
