The curious case of Eldin Jakupovic

[Tuna]

If I were the owners I'd be asking why £2 million was spent on a player that doesn't even get a seat on the bench.

 

What's going on? Did he park in Shakey's parking space or something?

[The whole world smiles]

I think it's worrying mate. If you look at this and look at Kaputzka there is clearly a big difference between what the recruitment side of the club and the actual management of the team want.

Apparently he gobbed off about lack of playing time in pre season (which was fair) and is being made to pay for it.

if that's true the manager needs to grow up

[lgfualol]

I would gob off too if Hamer was in front of me and I was an actual good goalkeeper. Shakespeare will pay the price if Kasper gets injured mid-game and Hamer wanders on.

[AyewJoking]

Shakespeare had to show he was no longer the players friend now he is manager so he crapped on the new guy.

[Karljohn]

Do we have any proof that he is actually better than Hamer!?! (I know he couldnt possibly be worse)

works better if you pick a fight with someone like Wes Morgan rather than someone you met 5 mins ago

The tail doesn't wag the dog. What the boss says, goes.

players that moan about not playing are part of the job, freezing them out for an inferior player because of it is something you do to kids in a school team not in the professional game.

Does Shakey have a daughter?

You reckon Fergusson or Mourinho would stand for that?

That's no way to refer to Mrs Shakespeare

No.  Shakey's just showing loyalty to a lad who's been at the club a number of seasons and is no doubt a top top guy around the training ground.  That's how you select a Premier League matchday squad.

Hamer has done nothing at this club. Might as well show loyalty to Conrad Logan too. Benalouane as well.

if a player was saying I need to play more to be ready for the start of the season? yes they would, though I doubt they would have put the player in that position to begin with

[adam]

Another great piece of business by the club. If Shakespeare thinks Hamer is the better keeper than we are ****ed.

Very briefly read this but am I right in saying he moaned about Shakeys daughter wagging his dogs tail?

You don't pick a substitute keeper because they're a good laugh around the training ground.

 

Everyone: 'S*#t Kaspers injured!!' 

 

Shakey: 'Don't worry we've got Ben Hamer, he's a right laugh, remember when he squeezed Wes' water bottle and it went all over. OII BEN!!! Get ya gloves on.'

 

I'm joking obviously, but maybe he feels Jakupovic has to earn his place in the squad rather than just being put on the bench. I'm not saying that's the right way to go about it, but it could well be the case.

Shakespeare said after the Brighton game in an interview with Stringer that Hamer was ahead of him as he had showed up better in training. Presumably nothing much has changed and it's Hamer's to lose. I don't think there's that much between the two of them tbh. Benny H is allegedly good with the #bantz too so that will help edge it.

Title of the thread seems more like an Agatha Christie novel than a topic in a football forum ... hihih

The perpetual moaners are out in force again, zero evidence but sod it let's slate the manager. And people deny agendas

It isn't agendas, it's more a refusal to concede they may fit what they say/see to their pre-conceived notions. In other words, standard human.
