Why did John Henry praise Aquilani and Ngog ?

by Guest Sun Jul 17, 2011 7:44 pm

we all know what he tweeted after the game, calling Aquilani the missing link, and saying once you get the ball to Ngog, it's in the back of the net. (Ngog you pre-season legend Laughing

)

Do you think he'd just tweet it like an honest fan, or is he doing it on purpose and talk of advisors to raise the profile of those players for potential buyers ? It's quite an interesting case IMO..what do you think ?

Which manager looks at John W Henry's twitter to see if a player is for sale?

Obviously doing it for the fun/fans.

Because he was watching the matches.Also he would have thought we fans are intelligent enough not take his tweets at face value.

I wouldn't read too much into it, Johnny boy isn't a football manager nor any other sort of "expert" on the sport, his judgement of those two players is as good as any of ours on here.

But since his tweet could suggest neither will be sold, I'm just left on wondering about our midfield situation with all those players still in the team.
