Do you mean those around him at Ipswich, Mike?

If so this was the issue I had with McKenna because when they were fit he eouldnt play the more senior players. Our frint line were a bunch of kids tbh average age 21/22, no experience. I honestly don't know why the lies of Broadhead, Szmodics, Hirst, Chaplin didn't get more gane time. They had a lot to offer. Now well probably lose a lot of them ..... just my view of course ...

Delap's first appearance at new team saw a quarter full stadium in Georgia. There were like 40, 50,000 vacated seats. Guess the event just didn't provide enough pull or teams involved failed to inspire. Got to imagine the eventual 30 million we'll receive for the player is adequate business, years back we'd never be involved in such prices or transfer deals and while disappointed to see the player move on he did good for us and after a relegation his departure was always likely.

More relevant competition got to be CONCAF tournament now ongoing. Could well be over before it's really underway but don't imagine (or wish) Mexicans retaining a title this time around. Canada can't play soccer in any capacity here now or ever as join hosts but Panama could surprise some this time by going all the way. United States naturally should be there or thereabout by the end and that's where the hope lies although (and) there's not much in way of competition it's the handful of standout nations that will nearly always contest the latter stages.

They weren't fit All of those had long term injuries this season.

They didn't get more "gane" time, Hallam because they're all full of sh*t......, and like you say --->> lies.
Broadhead says he'd NEVER be injured.
Szmodics said he only scores hatricks.
Hirst said that he'd be world class after a Scotland call up.....
.....and wee Chappers said something about a 14 inch boaby! (Whatever that is) ---->> but all lies.

Anyone else watched any of this Club World Cup?

All I can say is, what a complete load of crap. One or two European teams playing some American teams most of whom appeared to be full of players at the end of their careers. I'm assuming that because eg Los Angeles side seemed full of 32-34 yr olds and their keeper was 39. Not wishing to appear agist here, but bloody hell, some were so out of shape i thought they would have a coronary.

My overall view of it is, its a poor "product"dedigned purely to make money. Its a ridiculous tournament.

Anyone else bothering to watch it?
