I feel sorry for holding (and chambers) who, because of injuries and a senile old c.unt managing them when they arrived

), have never had the chance to kick on and become the players we thought/hoped they would become

Since they joined us they have always given their all (even on bad days) and they have never said or did anything wrong off the pitch, and because of that I am torn between my loyalty to the club and my appreciation and respect of them. I want them to make it big and preferably with us, but if they are not gonna get that chance (as seems to be the case), then I would rather we just sell them and allow them the chance to maximise their career's elsewhere, even if that leaves us short of numbers in the meantime
Tis funny in a way cos when we bought gabriel the joke in the media (and amongst the fans) was that we had a ridiculous number of centre backs, and now it looks like we will be going into the new season with 3 centre backs, and one of those was being sold or loaned out only a few days ago
