Still being linked with Chelsea. £90M for him and Lukaku in the offing apparently.

You could argue though that the change of dynamics at the top has been coming for a few seasons now, culminating in the run that Leicester are having at the title this season. Especially within the context that if Leicester don't win it, spurs will, something which wouldn't have been considered at the start of the season. Even without the new TV money, lower to mid table prem clubs have become an attractive proposition to a whole host of players who would have traditionally seen other more lucrative and appealing options on the continent. There has been a gradual shift in this regard in addition to clubs generally investing more in the overall structure of clubs including scouting, medicine and science, facilities and incrementally closing the gap on the traditional top sides as a result......most of whom seem more interested in spending huge sums on questionable players at the same time as making poor managerial choices. Hopefully the trend continues and the top 4 doesn't become a closed shop outside of 5-6 clubs again.

We've done well to qualify for Europe and possibly place upper mid-table (whilst flirting with the top 5 on several occasion) for 3 seasons in a row with all these average players who people wouldn't mind seeing leave

Relatively settled like last year when we also lost 3 first team players?

It's a sad, sad situation if you're proud of that.

Just don't buy one unless your body fat % is below 10 or St Mary's will look an even bigger mess than it does already.

Two key points regarding Tadic and his more sporadic use this season. One is that he is the main victim of our run of playing 5 at the back where he has had to at least sacrifice a starting spot, something which isn't mentioned in the article. Secondly, Koeman clearly doesn't trust the defensive qualities of the squad in comparison to last season which is why one of Tadic or Mane doesn't feature, not to mention Long's form.

That Newcastle side look defensively awful but lots going forward.

He played really well for the U-21's the other day. Maybe rumours of his after dark activities with Harrison Reed on the Worthing night scene are holding him back from the first team?

So presumedly the only scenario beyond him signing a new deal is to let him leave for elsewhere or make him?

I don't think your memory is serving you as well as your delusions unfortunately.

He left Fuchs as he chased the ball when it was played inside when he didn't need to because that was where the midfield cover was. He should have stayed out where he was.

Leciester are a horrible, niggly team and were massively dependant upon home advantage and the ref. Not fussed if they win the league of not.

An attempt from who?

There is no competition. Uber is backed by hedge funds worth billions which allows them to undercut the competition in their locations with ease. People might not be all that happy with their prices and standards thereafter.

Of course not champ

Simply put, there is a movement throughout Western Europe based on extreme teachings of Islam and as such, there will always be examples of this which can be found. Currently, the trend is to recruit young men from generally impoverished and isolated communities (around half of those from Moroccan descent in Belgium for example live in relative poverty) who have generally lived the lives of criminals and shown little or no applications of the teachings of Islam or any other religion. The draw of ISIS appears to be as a vessel to commit violence, get recognition and access to power which they can't get otherwise. Any means of indoctrination and recruitment must not be tolerated and weeded out systematically. But this is complex issue and not one which is easily solved. Those with views which generalise entire populations of people as a result though do nothing but add fuel to the flames in the same way as those who turn the other cheek or try to brush the damage of radical Islam under the carpet. Sour Mash has made his views perfectly clear on this thread. He see's the contribution of Muslims in Europe to equal nothing more than rape gangs and terrorists which is quite sad really. It's this type of EDL marching rhetoric which will only further cause isolation, hatred and moves the prospect of more integration of "values" even further away. There are more Muslims who are happy to practice their religion within Western culture than there are those who want to systematically take over the world and kill and enslave all the "non-believers" yet it seems some don't want to or like acknowledging that.

The British intelligence services wouldn't operate effectively without the support from Muslim communities. What exactly do you expect the average Muslim to do?

You can't answer the question, that's fair enough.

It's a ****ing ridiculous question and you will only ignore any responses anyway. What proportion of muslims are terrorists?

We've had rape gangs through our own beloved BBC personalities and MP's for decades. Shame you're not able to put brown faces to all of those. What proportion of Muslims are terrorists?

I'm sure there were a ton of benefits when European Countries actively recruited migrant workers from the middle east, south asia and north africa to rebuild post war and plug gaps in the labour market.

True. Evidence also suggests that the spread of extremist ideology is rife among families. I'm going to be avoiding my own from now on. Why take chances?
