"But I just feel at the moment we are open because we have got two wing backs-playing at full-back or wingers almost."
How fecking dare you Redknapp? Everything else aside, you now bemoan our lack of right backs? After you sold our quality, solid, well-integrated right back to our survival rivals!? This was your choice. Your decision. It would never have been done without you sanctioning it(if it had we would have never heard the end of it).
We all knew it was a bad decision but now he says this? I'm slightly gobsmacked.

That's an absolute pis take if he has said that. We have two right backs - he sold one and didn't register the other! |  | | |

No, he said Harry Redknapp came and said they'd accepted an offer from leicester and he could go. Simpson said he was surprised. | | | |

He doesn't help himself at times, bloody ridiculous thing to say. If you have wing backs play them as wing backs if they can't play full back |  | | |

Exactly - It was reported that Simpson was called into Harrys office and told by Harry that there was an offer and Harry was happy for him to leave. It was also reported that Simpson did not want to leave but felt he needed to be at a club who actually wanted him.
What a load of shit, Simpson had a very good season last year and was an established player who would have adapted and played well in the Premiership.
This is all down to Harry putting all his cards on playing three centre backs because of Rio and then abandoning it after two games because our players couldn't cope with the system. We now have Isla a wing back playing in a flat back four and he just looks so vulnerable when defending and seems to struggle with the positional play.
We may have sold Simpson to help balance the books but it was a bloody big mistake, we would look a lot more solid with Danny at right back and we have to sort the defence very quickly. | | | |

Harry is the most talented man when it comes to selling excuses for mistakes only him was responsible of "buying".
Like last week, complaining about Sandro and Fer not being fit, but doing it AFTER picking both of them to play at Old Trafford.
Like ALL THE FREAKING TIME, really.
For him to complain about not having players in positions he was responsible for weakening, was only a matter of time.
Not at all surprised. |  | | |

....and 76% of people think that Rio is past it.
Really looking forward to Southampton away now.
'Arry's words will inspire the team..... Rio is a shoe in, Caulker likewise and the wingers will continue to play full back as we have nobody else that Bagpuss will even consider. Then it will be January and Nedum will do one, why wouldn't he?
Oh woe is me.
Have a great week everyone!! |  |

So let's get this straight. Around the time of the World Cup Harry announces to the world that we're going to be playing 3-5-2 this season with wingbacks. This smooths the way for the high profile signing of Rio Ferdinand, who is seen as perfect to play in the middle of the three at the back, as his age and lack of speed will be more than made up for by his skill and experience in such a system.
We then buy a Chilean wing back (Isla) who has impressed going forward at the World Cup and don't worry about the fact that our only proper experienced left back is way past it in that position , by his own admission. The alternatives are either suspect defensively (Traore) or players the manager doesn't appear to trust (Yun).
The system appears to work tolerably well in the first game (before Isla even arrives IIRC) but goes off the rails so badly in the second game against Tottenham, where none of the players seem to have a clue what they are doing, that it is abandoned, much to the relief of most of the fanbase.
It is at this point that the manager decides our only actual right back, who is solid defensively and was one of the players of the season last year, is surplus to requirements and sells him to one of our rivals. In the next away game against Man U our ageing left back is badly exposed for pace, is consigned to the wilderness and subbed by the wing back who has impressive patches going forward.
So we arrive at Saturday's game playing the two wing backs and Rio in a flat back four. The defence is predictably a shambles.Ferdinand's slowness and Isla's defensive frailties are horribly exposed giving away two awful goals. Our need of a right back who can defend is there for all to see but unfortunately he's sitting on the bench at Leicester as the guy they bought him as cover for has just helped them destroy Man U.
So what does our manager do ? He mouths off in the press about the fact that the defence is a problem as Rio is exposed because he's not getting any cover from the full backs who are really wing-backs.
Priceless. You just couldn't f--king make it up. | | | |

There is more to this than what we know IMO .
What is the problem with Onuaha? there is a reason he is not starting . It seems so obvious to have him and Caulker either side of Ferdinand ,maybe it was him who wanted to go in the summer and he is not training properly , Tos put him on for Isla on Sat also seemed the right thing to although the injuries forced his hand Clint wasnt even in the squad Saturday which also pushed him towards a back 4
What are the terms of Isla loan deal ? If he is fit does he have to play ? That may have been a factor in Simpson leaving.
Newcastle let Simpson go , I wonder if there is a feeling in the game that he is not quite Prem standard . |  | | |

You really are clutching at straws here to try and justify the actions of your boy Harry. Can't you just admit for once that he's f--ked up? Nobody would think any the less of you for that.
Although I find aiming totally unfounded slurs at Ned in order to try to dig H out of the sh-t to be pretty deplorable. Ned has never given us any evidence of being anything other than a really nice guy and a model professional, Not training properly ? What evidence do you have for this? | | | |

Well yes you are right we don't know the exact dealings behind the scenes BUT some of the details are obvious mistakes and Harry's not doing himself any favours.
It's no good trying to find excuses, Nedum has been fit and available for selection, it's just Harry as usual doesn't see him as a first choice even though we all believe he's premiership class and will eventually ask for a transfer or just get very disillusioned. To start saying he's not training properly is crazy, as far as we all know he's not that type of player. Why Harry hasn't tried him in a back three is a mystery to everybody who goes on a Saturday. To be honest it's a bit late now to start piss potting around with formations, we have 5 tough games coming up not the time to experiment.
Well it seems you agree that Isla is just not going to "cut it" at right back in a flat back four any idea whose to blame for selling Simpson and not including Harriman in the squad. Clint was very likely not in the squad because he could sensibly only choose two defenders for the bench.
Suggesting that Isla has to play is an old line which has been used loads of times before when we can't understand team selections, the cold fact is Harry has left himself with few options at right back and wants to give Isla a run of games to see if he can cope in the Prem. The bit about Simpson being not good enough for the Prem I also find crazy, you judge players on their current ability not what MAY have happened a few years ago.
Simpson looked every bit a Prem player last season and should have been given the chance, I could list plenty of players from Leicester, Burnley, Palace etc who have stepped up a level and making a real good show in the Premiership.
Ps....For what it's worth I want Harry to succeed like everybody else, he needs our support but I'm not going to find excuses for mistakes which were very basic. The majority of our transfer business was very good but selling Simpson and buying an injury suspect Sandro for mega money was not a good move.

Firstly , read my post properly and you will find the word "maybe" . It didnt type itself , I typed it . So they are not clutching at straws or slurs but suggestions that you cannot knock down any more than I can stand them up . My reasons for suggesting them are as follows ... He nearly went in the Summer , after the Spurs defeat he said the blame lay "with the whole club " .and when he has had (all be it tragic) off field problems in the past it has affected his game . Harry Redknapp is often portrayed as a money driven wheeler dealer and is probably on a good bonus to keep us up , why if simply playing Onouha in a back 3 and using Isla as intended is the answer doesnt he do it ... "maybe" because he knows all of the facts and you and I do not | | | |

Can be looked as as prudent or could be looked at as foolish as the Simpson one looks now. |  | | |

Might have been more prudent for Harry not to have bought an over the hill star on high wages than get rid of a solid hard working no-frills right-back.
These comments he is making aren't for our benefit, it's purely to put a decent spin on it in the media. He doesn't give a stuff what we think.

Sorry this is bloody ridiculous you are just trying to find excuses by using "maybe" can you not see that.
We can spend all week speculating about what "maybe" BUT there's Nothing to substantiate your "maybe" and it's just pure guesswork.
No we don't know all the facts and nor do you, Ned was on the bench ready to play if there was a problem surely Clint would have taken his place on the bench | | | |
