We must have shifted a couple of Million a week off the wage bill now.
Im hoping were going hard on the signings now as for Maicon i wish him all the best bu he was clearly past his best.
We just need rid of Aleks now and were on the way.
He was never me,me,me but always you,you,you

In the end, and as many people probably knew before he even arrived, Maicon is not the professional that Vieira is, and it didn't help that he got injured when he did and that the 352 never took hold.
No ill will towards the player ... but it's good that he's moving on.
That's a good summary.
His only performance of note was the Spurs home game, where he did change the game when he came on. Unfortunately, he just doesn't have enough in the tank to play regular Premier League football, or even as a frequent sub.
Good luck to him with whatever he does next. At least it's another player on a big salary off the wage bill. It would be a bonus if we could get any sort of fee for him too!
Supposedly £4M fee, if we turn a profit on him I think I'd have a stroke.
Good business indeed!

I bet it's bollox and the Spafia have ended up paying Roma.

One of the best business the spanish geezers have done if they can offload this boy. Good luck to Maicon etc but I have to say I'm happy I don't have to watch him in sky blue shirt again

Nonsense. Kolarov occasionally [strike]fouls[/strike] stops an attacker but with Maicon you don't even have hope.

Every time the ball got played out to the right wing against Supersport I was wondering where the fuck Kolarov was.
I thought our lineup at the back was...
Richards--Kompany--Garcia--Also Garcia.

Talking of Richards , he is fucking clueless with that final ball..he hasnt got a scooby doo!
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"

Richards always looks like his West Ham Reserves fails him and he gets edgy with possession in the final third. Either that, or his default move is to throw himself theatrically with that daft dive he does which never gets us a free kick or pen, as its so over the top its laughable.

Funny thing was that I actually started to seriously think which one of them is "better". Jeezes, I hope we are done now with fullbacks who can't defend.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Thanks Maicon, it's been emotional. Well, not really.
Attack the argument of the person, not the person of the argument- except Carl.

That's pretty amazing if true.
