On Premiership Players the questions was "If the first team was made up of 11 of his quality/ability right now, would we stay up?"

Pointless knee-jerk thread.

38 DF Myles Anderson £Free Keep for a few games UNKNOWN

Is this thread a joke or a windup??

[philipl]

The problem of having Kean as a Manager is that we have no idea whether players are really Premier League quality or not as his management of the squad and team/sub selection is so poor.

That said, there are serious red lights flashing over most of Kean's signings.

The sooner he is gone, the sooner they should have a Premier League manager to guide and help them into playing well. If he stays much longer, all the players will begin to believe they are sub-standard rubbish.

So Kean thinks the value of the team and/or squad has gone up.

[brfcs5359]

The value of the squad has gone down. Kean stated this week "don't judge me on points, judge me on player valuations" as he attempted his latest spin gymnastics moving his musical goalposts as his excuses run out.

[brfcs5359]

Steve Keans latest excuse. "You can measure results in different ways - your points, or your improvements, or the price that everyone is worth. "We have a squad that is worth more money than it was six months ago.”

[McClarky]

Is Hoillet's contract up next summer? If so his value will drop to next to nothing if he doesn't sign by January and it is looking more and more like he isn't going to. If they are still haggling over buy out clauses this could be a nighrtmare.
