AVB's deep freeze

I trust AVB completely

Word to the mother.

The fact is with the fees and the wages running around modern football players can go on a strike, misbehave, skip training and play poorly for that "once in a lifetime"-transfer. Just ask Berbatov. Clubs can exclude and make the sporting life hell just to free up some wage and get a transfer out. Just ask Gomes. That's modern football for ya.

Old soggy chops was the king of the freeze-out.

As fun and refreshing as Benny's personality is, he isnt good enough for us anymore, do you want our team to succeed or do you want to be able to say "well at least we have characters!" I know what i'd prefer at least

Under Jol (and I was a Jol fan) and Redknapp - apart from the first XI plus a couple, many felt frozen out.

I don´t believe it´s a case of BAE not being good enough. I just don´t think his attributes are right for the system AVB wants to play.

He wants quick, wing back style full backs who can get up and down the line all game long. Rose and Walker suit this perfectly. BAE is better than both of them but is not the right player for our formation anymore.
