Seems Chamack is on to happen too.

yes, he was hardly subtle about that one.
we'll probably still get 15 mill for purple, if rafa is still conducting our transfers this summer. a new manager may want to keep him.

I will not judge Aquilani till I see a god few back to back 90 minutes of him, when he came on today he propelled two dangerous counter attacks with excellent passes. Although he has been sloppy and a shit house in previous matches. Only time will tell I suppose.

As he says himself, what does he know the supporters already don't.
Aquilani's a decent player. I've seen enough of him at Roma to say that hand on heart. I think he'll be a success here too - but possibly not to the level everyone was hoping for when Xabi left.

I think I have let myself get carried away with the hysteria around Aquilani, I honestly hope he comes good!

i haven't judged purple, but i'm certain that rafa doesn't 'fancy' him.

Id have to agree with you. Although some fans have judged him, one season ticket holder in our work wants him sold after his first 90 minutes, which is as absurd as it is pathetic.

We must be hard up. Fancy charging the manager to watch his team.

You're not alone, mate. There was nothing else to cling onto during the opening spell of the season, but hope can be a terrible thing because it places great expectation on those who maybe aren't ready for it yet. It's worth bearing in mind that Alonso at Madrid is looking half the player of last season, so things take time to gel, even for the very best.
That's not, though, an admission our squad is good enough. The very nature of Aquilani's game means he will thrive when surrounded by players of greater attacking quality, with greater movement and skill. A half injured Gerrard and Torres just isn't enough. We need investment.

Purple's better than Lucarse, but given that is about the only positive thing I can say about him so far, I'm very unhappy
Gone in 18 months, at best

Although the jury may be out on Aquilani, it would be utterly stupid to sell him in the summer without giving him a full season to acclimatise, get into game shape, etc etc. After that, if he's good enough or not will be apparent. Until then, any comments or talk about selling him is premature.
