Spurs trio...

[Arriba]

Has Kmac ever publicly stated that the loanees were who he wanted?

The cynic in me is starting to get suspicious we got them on the cheap (if not for free) as a result of guaranteeing game time.

Otherwise seems very odd to pick a player in your starting 11 in every game since he arrived then suddenly decide he isn't good enough even for the bench.

Byrne hasn't started every match.

"“I have watched a lot of Tottenham development games and Spurs are the best team in their development league at the moment,” he said.

“I have kept a close eye on the three lads over recent months and know what they are about.

“They will add competition to the squad and hopefully they will settle into the squad quickly. They will be familiar with each other’s play and if they all get in the side at once, then they will have an added advantage.

“They are all good players and they have been brought in to add to what is already a very good squad.

“There are a lot of good players here but hopefully the new lads can play their part and help us push for automatic promotion.”

When signing three kids on loan, it's usually very unlikely that more than one of them will make much of an impact...I guess we can say that Luongo is that player although I wasn't too impressed with him Tuesday when others were.

Byrne is very suspect defensively.

It's not their fault that they weren't what we needed.

They're shit

Not far off the mark considering I was taking the piss.

No...but he has played them anyway.

That's been posted on another thread as well.  If so, you have to wonder why he was played in that game and against Franchise before being fired out?  Insulting to our own players who were left on the bench imo.

I would guess because it isn't true?  That was a 12 noon kick off.  If he was pissed enough to be smashing his room up he would surely have been hungover/still pissed by the time of the match.

He did play like that to be fair

The temptation was too much to resist.

I agree with what you said, surely it would have been pretty obvious?

I would have thought so too.  I doubt even his harshest critic thinks Kmac would pick someone to play who was pissed enough to trash the gaff?

Christian Roberts managed it.

[carbonwhite]

Tony Adams did it for years.

Perhaps I'm being naïve but I thought the fella was too young to have become a functional alcoholic à la Roberts, Adams...
