    Doesn’t that mean he has been working?

    Fitness means nothing if you're not eligible to play in the first place.

    Would you say Messi can't play for us this week cos he's injured?

    Messi can't play for us cos he isn't allowed to.

    But as they haven't been training with him how on earth does he know?

    The gaffer looks ahead to the visit of Coventry City in the Sky Bet Championship.

    ON PLAYER AVAILABILITY

    “Mads Andersen is doing well, doing great. But it’ll take a couple more weeks. Hopefully he'll be back after the international break, but we won’t take any risk with Mads because he’s an important player for us.


    “Obbi will not be ready for tomorrow, it's a little too soon for him but he might be involved on Tuesday.”

    White lie?
    Told to lie?
    Unsure as to what's going on with his own players?

    I'm hankering for the Friday nights we were chilled, posting music vids or suggesting 'tonights tipple'. Sick of all this in-fighting and lack of trust. Especially so early in the season

    We haven’t signed Messi, announced him on the website, or had him do one of the pre-match pressers.

    Me and you know a player isn’t match fit if he can’t train with the first team. I don’t get this ‘how does he know’ argument. It’s pretty obvious!

    No its not. This situation is more like someone trying to find a position from the statements to suit an agenda. Another person could find a completely different view to suit an alternative agenda if they wish. It's called semantics. Thats why the debate is lingering. It's clear that a manager would not want to give too much away in press statement as to what's going on behind the scenes. It's not unusual and in fact the right thing to keep cards close to their chest. The press conferences aren't only to inform fans what's going on so they have to be careful what they say. As such he has tried to say as much as he can without disadvantaging our position for the 'next' game.

    We might as have well have done, for all the good it's done us if we can't play the Belgian binaries.

    I think you’ll even admit the Messi analogy was a terrible one.

    The Belgians will be in the squad for one of the three games after QPR. No question

    It was a bit Messi. But the point was that if he couldn't play for us, his fitness is immaterial.

    But not if you thought his clearance was due yesterday, tomorrow or today. That’s my point.

    Mmmm but thinking doesn't cut the mustard.

    If we're having so much trouble signing European players, due to Visa issues, why didn't we use the same rapid option we used to buy Dike from the USA; American Express.

    This threads certainly got Messi, I think most fans are just frustrated that the new lads aren't involved when we could clearly do with them.

    Markus says otherwise, "They will not be available for the next game. I hope we will have them when the international break is over (in mid-September).”

    Honestly think Club thought delay would be fine and could refer to fitness until the Morris issue suddenly pushed the agenda and our woeful attack that we have started the season with and people crying out for so called big hitters we thought we had actually signed.

    Isn’t the International Break after the Birmingham game? So featuring against Bournemouth would be three games from now. I think there’s a chance one of them makes the bench before then. Guess work though.

    Unless you posted that to agree with me?
