Reet, who's next?

Luiz is a glorified Zat Knight/ Titus Bramble decent player but always capable of a massive brain fart and royally fucking things up.

If i had designs on challenging for the top four he wouldnt be in my side.

He’s a centre forward playing centre back

Luiz reminds me very much of Campo at CB.

If Big Sam had signed Luiz he'd have been played in the 'Campo role' and been a sensation.

I was going to say that yesterday.  Luiz is a midfielder, end of story, as Campo was.  I dont know many centre backs that are both less than average in the air and also lack pace.  Campo and Luiz very similar in that respect.  Both very accurate long and short passers with their right foot and useless with left; both not reliable at shooting but occasionally come up with a worldy.  Both full of drama and arm gestures, always blaming the ref or teammate when they get dispossessed or a pass goes astray.  Even without the hair they'd be similar but that just completes the comparison.  

As much as Luiz looks a liability look at his honours list, must be doing something right

Mind you even Campo started and won a CL final

I never realised Campo had played in and won Champions League and if someone had told me hed got a medal id have assumed as a squad member. Full game though fair do's to him and remarkable really he came here and stayed a few seasons. Great memories 

Also played in the Madrid game when they murdered Man Utd at OT. The Redondo back heel game.

Pulis evens favourite on Skybet, then Wagner, Cook, Pearson, Lowe, Campbell.

Has Evatt applied for the Sheff Wed job? He would bring them free attacking football and would walk the league

I dont remember you or others being against the IE appointment?

I got sucked in just like everyone else including our owners

Should we have gone for someone nobody wanted then?

Sol Campbell might work out for some club

I voted for Sam Rickets. 

Just saying

Or if it doesn't he can go back to managing Renaissance FC de Ngoumou.

I voted for Nigel Adkins, it still puzzles me that he isn't working and also that he got so few votes.

I'm not claiming I didn't want Evatt when it came to it, like most others not only was I enthused by his publicity and success last season, I was spooked by the mention of Sol Campbell so was desperate for the alternative.

As I said I was more than happy with his appointment and when we signed our 2 strikers I was buzzing even more.  Now, like most, I'm less enthusiastic, none of us thought it would be like this.  I would also have been happy at the time with Ricketts, I don't think he'd be in the frame now. Things change.  But when you're shopping in the bargain basement there are only so many proven managers to go round.

Cowley Brothers?

The thought of that arrogant, ego-maniac cunt Campbell representing my club makes me feel sick. I detest everything about him. 

Sol and his supporters make out like it's his race that makes fans not want him, rather than the fact he's an epic bellend and a shite manager.

Happy to Give Evatt the benefit of the doubt, but by god he is set in his ways....Dont really have to say anything on the goalkeeper and how we set up. Recruitment has been a big gamble he or Phoenix got everyone on board by quickly signing Doyle and Sarcevic up early doors. 20 signings followed and i would say Santos,Fonz, Tutte and possibly Jones have been decent, Jury out on Isgrove and Miller but the rest are awful signings.

I will give Evatt until the January transfer window to see if at least he can repair the damage.

Its difficult to pass judgement on Taft and Greenidge yet, we can only assume they are poor based on 2 or 3 games, but Santos and Sarce were given a lot longer to come good.  I've also no problem with Arthur as a back up attacker, I think he's got something to offer.

Folk read too much into Taft not being on the bench

Fair points on Taft and Greenidge. Can't write them off yet given how Santos turned his form around.
