We should be positive. Have you forgotten what has happened over the last 5 years? Frankly Pochettino obviously used us as a stepping stone, and who could deny SRL this move? We just need to appoint another manager, strengthen and go again! COYR!

Yawn yawn zzzzzz

What a great idea! Create even more pointless speculation ......really helpful.....

Barca want him apparently....

Probably saying goodbye........

What is Blackmore saying then?

Arsenal have won nothing so?

Glasgow, why did you think this needed a new thread???

I think maybe that means no more Gaston's or Osvaldo type Cortese type signings and some sales of players if they want out due to wages etc - I approve of this model......

I have to agree CB Fry seems to have forgotten that this is a forum for fans views, not to "bash" others who have a different view to his. I also find the overbearing sarcasm boring and unnecessary........

Great post that sums up where we're at right now! Personally I am still very happy with MP so want him to commit to us long term

What is the point of this thread? No one knows whether this is the case do they. I. Rather think it has more to do with losing 3 on the spin than anything else.....

Yet another pointless thread zzzzzzz

Basically give it a rest now please.....

Agree you look at the player/fan reaction at the of the Arsenal Liverpool game. Both teams went for it, great atmosphere and joy and disappointment from the players at the end. It made our pathetic showing even more shameful.....

Relax are you jealous lol!

Not worth discussing..... Great chairman thanks and all that, made a fortune, now left..... SFC remain my team! I will be there thanks NC but goodbye!

Sorry what?

Look true fans don't believe the "champions league" bull**** and complete exaggeration of our status in the premier league - NC obviously did! I am proud of the success we have had recently but truly believe we are over achieving! Luke Shaw will leave to earn more money and win things which he won't do with us in my view. If MOPO walks out on us to follow NC that's up to him but for me our great club will continue without both of them! Let's face it we are in such a good position now so **** NC or MP we are in a great position to progress!

I guess the value to the team as a whole plus surely LS would want rather be playing Champions league v Barcelona than FA cup v Yeovil.... I also think that this would represent brilliant business for us if it is as reported.

Citeh will pay up front so personally I think we should. There's no guarantee that he will be the next Bale - one injury and that's it! I also don't think that he's irreplaceable and that the payment up front gives us the opportunity to replace him quickly and strengthen the squad. I'm still not sure though, Thoughts?

Fonte, Brighton away 1-2 MASSIVE.

Prefer Alex McCarhy at Reading .....

77% and we rarely if ever got in behind, pretty poor if you ask me. We desperately need someone who can find that killer pass. If you watch Osvaldo and JRod they are always looking to get in behind but the right ball never comes. Ever Banega in January anyone? Most needed signing for us.

Absolutely right in my opinion - especially away from home. Gaston has the ability to do the job why he cant do this consistently is surely in some ways down to MP's system. I watched 15 minutes of Banega running the show for Valencia on Sunday and that performance was exactly what was missing at Chelsea - great vision, defence splitting passes, vision, and a confident, quick thinking approach to the game.
