Abu Derby Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Perhaps Phil will develop a bad back and so he’ll get medical severance, saving us money in doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not replacing Martin is a blow but I suspect that might be more down to finances then anything. Letting Mariott go hasn't and won't make a jot of difference. Even if he was still here I'd start above 5 players ahead of him. I’d start Marriott above Waghorn, Rooney and Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a poacher that hasn't been scoring and has a poor shots to goal conversion rate. Ultimately he scored a hatful of goals for a Peterborough side somewhat known for setting up to produce a striker conveyor belt. There has just been too many games where he's either been wasteful or completely anonymous for us. Waghorn, for his faults, generally affects games. Physically challenges defenders and generally causes them problems. He might not be the most prolific but he's a pretty sure bet to hit low to mid teens in this division. Rooney is more of a presence than Mariott and has exceptional technical ability. As much as I probably wouldn't go with up front right, he's probably the most likely player in the squad to score out of nothing. Colin we've barely seen but seems to be physically imposing and looks to an extent like he can bully centre backs. I'd have also started Stretton or Hector-Ingram before Mariott were he still here. To be honest I'd probably start them in front of some of the above as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Martin Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Put Phil on gardening leave till end of the season? and get Mac in as a "coach" on short term deal. then sack cocu in the summer and the £4 million would come out of next seasons transfer budget.
