If Les and the board are serious about not selling him they should put out a similar statement to the one FSG did this morning re Coutinho

Great post, couldnt agree more - think if we struggle first few games things could get quite bad quite quickly. no team spirit, no leaders, no new blood to freshen it up ...

Monk, if youve totally trolled the bin dippers and made them wet their panties for no reason then i'd forgive you :-)

if its any less than 60m then meltdown time ..

Can Gabbi play wide ? Austin cant (we know from last year!)

Assuming both are fit ... who starts the season as first choice, esp if we play with the 1 striker? *need to know for my fantasy football team as much as anything! So Austin = great finisher, poor mobility Gabbi = more mobile, clever etc Or will they both play?

I'm more worried about the complete lack of transfer activity outside of VVD - we badly need another CM to play next to Romeu for a start

3/2 second dig, Roussow fails again (first ball) - real shame that he is getting in ahead of Alsop given his current form

Giggs would be a car crash

This - wasted up there, cant really achieve any more han he has, poorly treated at Lpool so will be like us in being desperate to stick it to them. He'd by my choice

Lets be fair that RAWK forum has its share of cockwombles as does here - a few on there actually making some pretty fair points ...

id want at very least 50m + Sakho - and i'd want it all up front not the usual liverpool way of instalments plus complex appearance fee add ons

Great win Now need Alsop to play over Ervine and someone else over Topley and think we will do well

This and if he rotates 6 players in ad out every week again i give up - he is clueless tactically im sorry

At some point we have to grow some balls and say no or this will keep happening every single summer ...

anyone?

How much longer do you keep Ervine in the team, doesnt bowl much and hasnt scored more than 10 this season - surely must be a place there for a youngster to develop

Really cant understand why Wheal is playing instead of Crane - esp given how many overs he's been givem

Chelsea were very very good today - that performance and City at Utd are far and away best team performances ive seen this season. They keep that level up and they'll be in the top 3 Negatives - Clasie isnt good enough - too lightweight if you're going to play him and Davies Martina - honestly rather Stephens or Yoshida play there as he isnt good enough at this level We also badly need another Striker or we give Olomola game time and see what he is ...

As a coach you'd look at the 3 or 4 times we were in the box and made the wrong decision - we really should have scored 5 or 6 But, that will be a huge confidence boost, Hojberg looks class, thought Romeu was excellent and Tadic completely outplayed Payet ...

If we were 4-2-3-1 we'd be winning this 3-0

Puel

Not sure how you dress this up, its utterly dreadful - it looks like the players dont believe in this system at all and the last 4 years of a club 'system' played from academt to first team has been wiped out for this dross We dont win here and lose the next two he's going to be under real pressure - esp as the 'fix' seems blindingly obvious to nearly everyone (4-2-3-1)

Why we are putting crosses in the box when are two forwards are 5 ft 7? Losing every second ball in midfield - Tadic and Redmond not in the game at all
