There's Championship clubs spending £10 - £15m on players these days. £20m for average Premiership players is a sign of the times. At some point we're just going to have to start coughing up if we want to compete with our rivals. I could understand us not wanting to pay big money if we were strapped for cash, but we're not.

Cup final or no cup final, he's got to go. This is dreadful. Seriously, we're on a for a relegation battle. Right, I'm off to wet the bed.

Exactly! Liverpool said they were only interested in selling when we enquired about a loan. Now he's going on loan to CP. Just seen a report that Les is trying to sign Ake for £18m. Sounds like bull**** to me.

Face it. We're all done. There won't be CB signed today.

I think we can forget any hope of signing a CB. Nice one Les.

The Telegraph are reporting that our loan move for Tasci is off because he's going to Palace on a permanent deal. Have they got their wires crossed with the Sakho story? Either way I'm ****ed off. We went for Sakho on loan and were told Liverpool were only interested in a permanent deal. Apparently he's now off to palace on loan for the remainder of the season with a view to a permanent deal in the summer.

I hope I'm wrong but something tells me we're all done. More spin from Les. 'Fonte won't leave unless we have a replacement'... And that was before VVD's injury.

I can't believe they're not making it available to buy. What a wasted opportunity.

Great, now can we focus on signing a CB? It's desperately needed!

Can he play at CB?

Papers on Merseyside suggesting that negotiations are ongoing between Saints and Liverpool for Sakho with a loan / option to buy deal looking increasingly likely.

5 goals in 19 games suggests that he's about as good as what we already have.

Sunday papers saying it'll be announced on Monday. £15m + add ons.

Gabbiadini deal expected on Monday according to the press. Also just seen a rumour about Robbie Keane on loan!

He's now being linked with a £27m move to China!

Spot on. I'm amazed that he's got us to Wembley given the football we've played this season. In fact, getting us to the final has probably just bought him time in the job. Whatever happens in the final, I'd still like him gone. He does nothing to inspire any confidence at all. Today's team selection being a case in point. The fans were on a high after Wednesday and then he goes and ****es us all off with this nonsense.

We'll see...

Tonight's team selection & performance just reinforces that fact that we don't have enough quality & depth and the board need to invest.

He's absolutely spot on!

Is Forster injured?

I spoke to Club Wembley. A mate is a member so he gave me his details and I called as if I were him.

Club Wembley tickets dropped in price when Liverpool failed to make the final. Still £321.00 though, 15% of which is an administration fee. :-/ The guy I spoke to this morning said, If Hull turn Utd over tonight then you'll probably get one for about £150.00. Your best bet is to keep your fingers crossed for a Hull win and then call me back tomorrow morning.

Just heard on the radio here in Ireland that he's out for at least a month. Don't know where they got that info from???

I know it isn't. It's not meant to be funny. It's a very scary prospect.

You're as deluded as Les Reed & co. Have you been talking to Claude Puel? Redmond's the new Henry, don't you know.
