Doesn't matter what he can do if as - by all reports - he is a slow motion train wreck.

If the reports are wrong or drastically inflated fine but if accurate or nearly so he's just unsalvageable.
Reports of what?

Turning up late to training - which he has denied?
Yes and players are all saints in telling the truth??

Because we have steadfastly removed such players from the list???

Are you asking me to give it a rest because you just made those reports up seconds before you posted ? Or, are there are actually reports that could lead to a conclusion that he is a slow motion train wreck? If there are reports, what are they reports of? They certainly will not be reports of being late to training, or in relation to the split from his partner, as they hardly support your conclusion.

Of course, I do not expect a considered response from you, even on your second attempt.

There's a big difference between someone who defends himself in a fight and someone who doesn't bother to put in at training.

My understanding is that Stringer's issues are related to off-field problems, which have had him very distracted.

Bevo is quoted saying that Stringer's problems related to training issues as well as the breakup of his relationship.

Considered response to an outright sniper?

Get him. Give him a 2nd chance if the price isn't too high.

Anywhere?
Anytime?
Hardly.
At least you are predictable.

PS. I do have a rifle and I am a reasonable shot, so far as rabbits are concerned. On this board you make an easier target than a rabbit.
