just to make a point, to get into the special services, only around 3% of the armed forces are considered 'fit' enough. they will only be allowed to serve while they are 'able' if these guys get injured while performing their duty they are likely to be killed or maimed and unable to work again. now take michael owen for example, £100000 at newcastle that says it all

i didnt say they were the cheapest, Do you follow us sports, baseball, american football? Anyone who thinks a sports 'person' deserves the sort of wages they recieve is bonkers in my opinion. What happened to competitve loyal sports we used to see? i'll leave it at that

Footballers are relatively cheap when you look at other sports. Let me re phase, no sports star deserves £40000, if you look at the US sports this is fuck all. But when you consider how much a top soldier gets paid putting his life on the line for his country, not to mention what their family get if they never come back, it puts sports stars salaries to shame

No footballer deserves £40000 per week, its just the crazy world we are in

Jags and Baines struggled to get a game for how long, i think the guy deservers a chance

My last post on this, but if Jacobsen is shite why did he sign him and why are we paying him every week to warm the bench with no intention of ever using him?

I would love Spurs to go down, cant stand them, ive a sneeky suspicion they will go on a good run now though, and finish 7th or 8th

Will finishing 4th have any bearings on this do you think?

There are some decent players in the Championship, Ross Mcormack is a good young midfielder, scores goals too

Could we beat Madrid or any other CL team 4-0? How much money has Penfold wasted getting them where they are, we just cant find anywhere near that sort of money.

Who would you like to see with us if their current team goes down? I would love us to sign Martins and Duff when the toon go down, both are believed to want away

Do you think Jags is a good midfielder? by what we have seen from him in that spot I remember when Jags was at Sheff Utd, Paddy Kenny went off injured, they didnt have a sub keeper so Jags went in goal for around 40mins and he was actually very good, he kept a clean sheet and they won 1- 0. Just wanted to make a point that he can play in goal as well like. My point is though, why on earth sign an established Danish international right back, then not use him, and proceed to disrupt the whole defence by moving your best defender out of his best natural position, is quite beyond me, to be honest. The defence does not look the same without him in the middle Im pretty sure it was against Arsenal too. Drop Howard......................

Is it?

How do you know this if the guy aint getting a chance? If Howard gets injured will Jags play in goal?

When Hibbert is fit, is he going to go straight in the side again? Jacobsen was brought in as cover or to replace Hibbert when needed, now he aint getting a look in

What did the Champions League do for Leeds? We aint ready for it as much as i would love to be in it

Jags should be the heart of the defence, no question. i think Jcobsen deserves a chance, its his natural position, why not give him a go

we aint going to compete with the big spenders untill some oil tycoon buys us, there are a lot of teams with billions to spend in England now so we cant guatantee the top 6 or 7 every year at the moment, Villa, Man City, Spurs, West Ham to name a few will surely strengthen in the summer. i would happily take the cup FOR NOW

Why play our best player, Jagielka out of position. When he arrived with us he couldnt get a game, now he is our main man, playing in the middle of defence gives confidence to the rest of the team, its madness to have him at right back in my opinion. So why not try all 3 centre backs with the 2 wing backs and see how well it works, we aint going to finish 4th and we aint going to finish below 7th, which is going to be the cut off for europe.

Cup, we aint got a strong enough squad to compete in the C.L. ..........YET

I dont understand why we play Jags out of position, hes outstanding in centre defence, am i right thinking Jacobsens contract is up in the summer?

Ive seen him play for both Denmark and Hamurg (where he was prior joining Copenhagen), he likes to get forward and scores the occasional goal too, very similar to Baines, ok he aint played in the premiership yet, but Baines struggled to get a game when he joined. Jags isnt a right back and should be playing in the spot which earned him his england cap in centre of defence. I wouldn't mind seeing us trying Jacobsen at right back at all

Fair point, but the injuries we have and the subs we have available at present in my opinion is alarming, we have more defence than offence available, even VDM injured somehow, maybe trying to pick his wallet up or who knows. I reckon we need a bit of width and Jacobsen is a decent player so i think 5-3-2 would be worth a shot

We have 3 superb centre backs, i think Moyes should try 5-3-2 maybe in a few games till the end of the season, using Baines and Jacobsen as wing backs as they are both good crossers and pacey Any1 agree?
