    We don't have the players IMO. None are good enough for the top 6 and only Austin and Green would get in mid to lower table prem sides. Either way their individual ability aside, the squad as a whole is completely unbalanced, lacks pace, lacks strikers, lacks full backs. Nowhere near good enough for this league
    Sums it up perfectly for me.

      Same with second goal. Bobby should be ashamed of the chances he fluffed.
      Especially that header! WTF!

          I disagree. They make the 25 of some of the teams in the league, mid to lower table teams.

            Really? Green would start for most in the mid table region, Isla would definitely start for almost any team outside the top 6 and maybe even in it, caulker would surely start for teams like West Brom, Palace and those around them, Phillips would be in and out of the first team picture for teams around us, Fer would definitely start for most teams outside the top 6, sandro wouldn't be here were he not faulted by injury, Vargas is a world cup striker and a very good one, Austin is one of the leagues top scorers.

              What teams would he easily get into? Good Championship player but that is it. Apart from the odd decent cross what else does he have or offer? Need a lot more than that to be a decent winger at the top level.

                Think you are looking through hooped tinted glasses mate. Way,way off the mark.

                  In your opinion. In mine, Phillips would struggle to get in nearly every PL side, as would Caulker and Sandro. The latter is not only a sick note but a bit of a cart horse too.
                  You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

                    Isla is a regular in a top class Chile side, played a lot for the reigning Serie A champions but apparently isn't a premier league starter? c'mon give it a rest. Caulker is just better than those players in teams around us. Look at West brom, with Craig dawson and the ever awful lescott, or palace with Dann and Delaney. He is a mile better than all of those players and I have always said that the phrase prem quality is not the right one to use as the quality varies year after year. Same goes for phillips.

                      He has pace, strength and skill. Look at his return as an example, he must have nutmegged about 5 players since coming back. He needs to be told when to cross but the quality is almost always there on the crosses.

                        Isla is a converted RWB, he still lacks defensively and I reckon most other teams would rather spend their money on more solid, established RBs. You have a man crush on Caulker so no point discussing him. Phillips has had a run of 6/7 alright games for us lately, hasnt really done alot the rest of the 2 seasons with us. Again Fer hasnt done a massive amount this season either. You say Sandro wouldnt be here if he werent faulted by injury but he is faulted by injury so that will put most teams off risking a sizable transfer on him. Vargas seems to be rated by some as this top level striker but you would think with our striker woes he would have played a lot more this season. And yes Austin is one of the league scorers but there are obvious flaws in his game that need working on and until he resolves these issues he will not be a regular for a top 6 prem side. Thats why he wasnt called up for England

                          Isla wouldnt start for a top six prem side on the form he has shown for us imo. Caulker i would willingly swap for Lescott, Dawson or Dann in a heartbeat if those teams were dopey enough to do the deal but i very much doubt they would be that stupid.

                            Taraabt does it on a regular basis. Dont see many teams queuing up for him. Not sure if nutmegging is something we should be basing players ability on
