' SO MATT DAEHLI TONIGHT '

I disagree with the negative about him this season. Admittedly he is lightweight but ae far as work rate and dribbling skills passing etc he is definitely 1 of our best players

Please Annis - MATS not Matt!

True

So, this isn't a thread about Daehli at all, just another excuse to snipe at Tan

Yeah,why not. Tan knows nothing about running a football club, the only thing he has is money. He does not understand what a football club is about, thats why he rebrands.

To be honest, he is a joke.

The rebrand, i think it is so totally absurd, that i dont find words. I still cant believe that this actually could happen in GB, home of football. But what is even more shocking, is that there actually exists "fans" that supports the rebrand. Totally insane.

In my book, VT is the club owner from hell. The way he operates, when he leaves - if he leaves, he will do everything in his power to destroy whats left of the club.

Just my opinion.

I will tell you now Matt Daehli has the perfect attitude of a player,a pity the rest never, even David Marshall said similar last week

I Believe 100% there is much more to all this, please open your eyes, this kid has done nothing wrong

Annis I agree that there must be more to this and personally I think it stinks. Mats is one of the most highly rated players of his age group, playing in this country and we can't find a place for him, in a mid table, championship team with no creative players in the starting eleven, apart from the erratic Whittingham!

I don't believe Tan can be held responsible for this because it wouldn't make any sense at all for him to cast aside such a young talent when he needs to be pushing for promotion. As well as the higher transfer fee when the lad fulfills his potential.

I think it's more to do with Slade / Young and their football philosophy. 4-4-2 with hard working grafters and players who keep things simple. I don't believe Slade has ever managed gifted youngsters such as Mats and Ravel and I don't think he has got the slightest clue in how to fit them into his basic way of playing football.

There's only one way we are going at the moment and that's backwards. Once all the talented players have left, we will all be comforted in the knowledge that Slade can sign all the lower league journeymen that he feels comfortable with and are at the same level as his management capabilities

Dæhli looked great tonight. Ran around the field, tackling, dribbling and creating chances.. Didn't look like he was carrying a knock

Why doesn't he show that for us or is Norway v Estonia not as high standard as the championship

Give it a rest mate, he looked good in the pl last season. I watched him in internationals against top nations like France and Italy and he looked good. In fact the only place I have seen him have really poor games is in the championship.
He is a potentially brilliant player, capable of seeing passes and ability on the ball no one in our team can touch bar ravel, the problem is he is just not consistent yet. That doesn't mean everything he did this season was rubbish like you said. He just needs to get more consistent. I am sure that will come as he gets a bit older.

give it a rest ? Lol he hasn't performed well this season for Cardiff but plays well for Norway why is that ?

To me it looked like Dæhli had a dip in form this fall where you could see that his close technics was not as superb as we witnessed last season. In the beginning of the season, he had a couple of quite bad appearances, and some not so bad (voted man of the match twice, remember). But he has not been up to his best in any of the matches; just out of nowhere he could send away some horrible passes, and I also had the feeling he needed more time than usual to control the ball.

In the international matches, however, it seemed to me that his close technics was back - he having 3 very good matches as a result. In this period he has not performed for Cardiff, so I don´t think it´s fair to conclude that he´s good for Norway but bad for Cardiff. I think it´s more an issue of him finding back to his best form. Seems like he´s there now, so why not give him a proper chance.

Anyone think Slade saw any of those matches, or had anyone monitoring Dæhli´s performances? Just wondering.

Jesus judging on his last few appearances they must be utter dog shit for him to get man of the match.
Deahli is a great prospect, and looked a real talent when he first came, but this season and the end of last, I don't see him as good enough for the first team.

Did you see him chasing shadows in his last game, he ran around and did nothing ??

A good attitude is one thing, but he needs to knuckle down and learn how to tackle, work in the gym and build some strength and try and get some pace to beat his man......

I wouldn't sell him and he can come good, but he looks way off the pace at the moment and not strong enough for the Championship....

Obviously, you were not not impressed by Dæhli in his last performance when we came in as a substitute for Adeyemi, as you are constantly referring to this match to describe Dæhli as a football player. You have stated a few times already that he was "chasing shadows", and to a certain degree, I agree with you. To me it looked like he was unsure which man to take out - the one out wide, or the one in the middle, so he ended up somewhere between. Guidance seemed to be needed. But remember that we was sent out there instead of Adeyemi who were carried off after 2 minutes on the pitch. At this moment we were in the lead against Nottingham, and the seagulls were far better seated to watch the game, than the rats, to put it that way. Hard for me to understand why the few minutes he had on the pitch in that game is the only thing you seem to judge him by. (?)

So, this isn't a thread about Daehli at all, just another excuse to snipe at Tan

Yeah,why not. Tan knows nothing about running a football club, the only thing he has is money. He does not understand what a football club is about, thats why he rebrands.

To be honest, he is a joke.

The rebrand, i think it is so totally absurd, that i dont find words. I still cant believe that this actually could happen in GB, home of football. But what is even more shocking, is that there actually exists "fans" that supports the rebrand. Totally insane.

In my book, VT is the club owner from hell. The way he operates, when he leaves - if he leaves, he will do everything in his power to destroy whats left of the club.

Just my opinion.

Yes Annis, and i was just thinking about if the same thing happened in my country, Norway, it would have been riots and probably the whole thing would have ended up in the parlament that would have stopped it by making a new law or something (i'm not kidding). But there is no tradition in Norway that a person can own a club, we only have what we call "rich uncles", and their role is only to give money to the club, and most of the time this is persons that loves the club and just give money as charity. If they try to interfere more than that, which not happen very often, they're begging for big trouble from both media, supporters and even politicians, and they will be under big pressure and if this happens it always ends up with that they just quit the releationship with the club. So lucky for us.

In my honest opinion, there should have been a law against that owners can change something as basic as the colour of the club, because such thing is actually an assault against the supporters, and like i said, it is also totally absurd.

But it is more to it, it really stinks. It is more than that Mats doesn't fit into Slades system.

I agree with your last sentence, but I don´t agree that this has anything to do with Tan. Slade were replacing a manager who were popular among the players, and as I understood it, many of them were devastated by seeing Solskjær leaving. Slade of course knew all about his (i.e. from speaking to Gabbidon) and it would be quite normal in his situation to be feeling a bit paranoid, as he would fear some of the players were not supportive enough to the new - in a way unwanted - man.

So Slade starts looking around to single out the players who he believes would be on the lower scale when it comes to supporting the new man in charge; firstly, by monitoring how the players where expressing their feelings, e.g. on twitter. Cala´s statement "what´s going on there is a joke" was about Cardiff after all? Then, being Norwegian would probable not be an advantage at all - especially not since Dæhli, after Solskjær left, was praising Solskjær on twitter for the influence he´d had on his career.

Slade is now talking about that Dæhli needs to show the right attitude. I bet Dæhli is doing all he can to convince him on training, but this is probable not only about performances, as you suggest, cause in Slade´s head Dæhli is first of all a fan of the former manager.

Actually, Solskjær was in the same position a bit less than a year ago. Do you remember the Whittingham saga? First, he was left out, then in a sudden, Solskjær announced that Whitts would be playing all matches from now on. Everyone thought this was strange, but it was the the same thing as we are witnessing now. Ole was lead to believe by Whittingham´s sort of sullen personality that the player was not supportive of the new regime, hence he was dropped. After sorting things out with Whittingham, Solskjær came to the conclusion that he had misunderstood the player. He was just a grumpy old b*stard, but supportive enough.

Get my drift? As a Norwegian, Dæhli has an extra load on his back (and hip), and it takes more from him to convince Slade about his loyalty, than from any of the others. When asked why Dæhli is not being included in the squad, Slade blames Dæhli´s hip injury - which probable has basis in reality - but the importance of it seems a bit exaggerated by Slade, just in lack of a better, presentable explanation.

To be honest this is very intresting thoughts. And i really hope you are right, but i am not so sure, if this is what really happens, that it will gain Slade. I really hope that it ends up with that Mats stays and everybody will be happy, but i am not convinced it will be that way.

Anyway, that not only me, but also others, thinks Tan is involved with things he should stay away from, is because of what he have done over and over again, and i don't thrust him even a tiny, tiny bit. So when people say the club is a mess and "Circus City FC" and so on, Tan is the one to blame. What actually happens here with Mats i don't know, but the situation is very strange and people are just trying to figure out what really happens.

It's all down to one man Scott Young they had a disagreement and he got it in for Daelhi and Slade is taken his side. He wants to play but he will go in January as things aren't exactky what they seem behind the Seens and slade and young aren't use to be dealing with high profile players.

Can play for norway but not Cardiff City that says it all if he's not in the squad v reading then u know he doesn't figure in their plans

Daehli had interest from a number of pl clubs as well as several bundesliga clubs at the time of joining Cardiff.
That Manchester united triggered their buy back clause is well known. Have also heard tottenhan and everton have been keen on him for years. Both kept track of his progress after he followed ogs to Norway.
A number of enquiries were made this summer all turned down. I dont know what clubs, a number of rumours about which clubs flying about. He had promised and from what i understand wanted to stay at Cardiff.
With ogs gone the situation has changed. For one slades style of football may not suit him & the opportunites wont be as many.
If slade had taken a liking to him in the manner of ralls it is more probable that he would stay. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
I am almost certain he will leave in january.

Richard, Are you Serious about Scott Young?

Mats Dæhli was the best player on the field tonight in Norway's qualifier against Azerbaijan... Extremely good performance.

Was substituted after 60 minutes for a more defensiveminded player in Jone Samuelsen. He wasn't carrying a knock or anything.

You Would like that wouldnt you. No, Mats says he hasnt played football for over a month and isnt as skarp as he would like to be. Mainly it was a tactical move for a defensive player, confirmed by the coach. Both say Mats dosent carry any injury after the game. But give him a few days and im sure that phantom hip injury will be straight back!

Annis, when Solskjaer left I feared one of the side effects would be that the heads would drop of 2 or 3 of the players who were loyal to him - my worries were Daehli, Jones and Fabio.

Seems Daehli is the one who's been hit hardest.

I hope he's given the chance as it would be a waste to lose him without really seeing what he can do.

Something says Mr Vincent tw*t may have a grudge against Mats due to OGS. We all know Vinny has a say in the team being picked. If Tan wants a certain player played then Slade has to comply. All in a day at Circus City FC.

And if we get promoted will you say it was because of tans team selection? Like FCK you will! Nor will the others who say tan picks the team:laughing5:

No because I don't give two fooks if we get promoted or not. All I give a fook about is if we get our identity back whatever league we are in. Simples
