We're a joke. As bad as he is, how have we not registered him? It's disgraceful treatment. Where is the class? We don't have to go out of our way to embarrass the player and act like pricks.

Our Europa League squad has just been announced. We've submitted 5 goalkeepers and Rúnarsson isn't included.

Think most would agree he's not a great goalkeeper, but sixth fiddle? :think:

Leno, Ryan, Hein, Hilson, Okwonko (in this order.)

Hein, Hilson, and Okwonko are all home-grown and U21. They are not taking Runarsson's place, who has been left out as our 18th non-homegrown player when we can only register 17.

As Martinelli can't be registered as a U21 player in european competitions (hasn't been with us for 3 seasons yet), we have needed to leave one of the seniors out of the EL squad to register him.

What?

You mean it's not because Arteta is an evil bastard who wants to ruin the guy's life?

I can't believe that.

How comes this James Hilson kid isn't on the B list with the rest of the homegrown players which I thought was unlimited? I thought the maximum in a squad was 25 for the A list i can only see 21 registered.

I think the biggest surprise is that we actually had 4 other keepers besides him and Leno. £1.5 million thrown away I guess.

Wouldn't trust him for our EL games though, way too inexperienced at this level.

:lol:

Zenith isn't one of those who see Arteta as the villain in every scenario, but there are definitely a few of them here on the forum. I see what you are implying and it annoys me as well.

I don't like some things about Arteta and I wanted him out in December as he persisted with underperforming players at some point, but I do see improvement in this regard and I do think he has a clear vision which he wants to apply and I could see him becoming successful with us, if he continued working on himself and stopped the stubbornness with some clearly talented players like Saliba .

Definitely not aimed at Zenith. His opinions are quite balanced.

For others however the term unbalanced could be applied - in more ways than one.

Hope we managed to make a big enough return. Otherwise whoever suggested we sign him should get the boot

He cost £1.5m, a rounding error compared to what we've been spending. I do agree it was a pointless transfer. He only played some piss easy Europa group stage games and didn't cover himself in glory.
