If we have any aspirations of being 8th+ regularly, we need to have at least half a dozen players good enough to get in to the 1st team being kept out by the performances of the 'shirt-holders'.
It is the manager and the club's job to keep those players onside.
Exactly, and this is why modern footballers need to accept they are part of a 25 man SQUAD. Players need to be patient and if the opportunity presents itself grab it like what Antonio done. Thankfully Bilic seems to pick his team and match day squad on current performance and not reputation. If you are playing well you keep your place. If you`re having a stinker or two ;wave
Don't be fooled by Smarmytez's words. They wanted him, they missed out on him and now they're denying it like a schoolboy denies he fancies the girl he spent an entire term throwing Rolos at.
And we sometimes think that our very own David Sullivan puts his foot in it too often, but sorry Mr Smartyenez u just made yourself look a prize ..... ;ok
Slav confirming Arsenal said they wouldn't loan Jenko again next season:
“I will be open and say that he (Brian) was more for us for the next season, because we have Carl Jenkinson, who is on loan from Arsenal and at the start of the season they said this is the last year they will give him to us."

With that in mind, Brian needs to be on the bench and needs to replace Jenks when it is appropriate. Jenks needs to be a bench warmer pretty quickly and we want Brian to get experience.
Moojar - I disagree. Jenks should be starting every game and showing that he wants to come here permanently. If he can recapture his form then he will have much to offer us.

With players like Reid waiting patiently, you don't get second chances.
So you'd expect one of Ginge/Ogbonna to miss out on Saturday.
;puzzled
For now he is our first choice RB as Sam won't be joining the senior squad for a while.
You always get 2nd chances.....nothing to say Reid doesn't have a stormer but see Red?? Or any of the CB's for that matter.
I expect Ginge to miss out and I expect Tomkins to miss out for Jenks as well.
If you see what I mean. ;puzzled
I was right after all ;whistle
;biggrin
"We identified Sam Byram as a talent, but in the end it wasn't right for us with the squad we have and not the right move for him either."
It's easy to say that now as he decided to go to a better team .
Best sometimes just to say nothing.
Sure we believe you....
Everton are moving up the outside rail to be one of my least liked teams...
;biggrin
;tumbleweed
He'll be in the squad tomorrow.
