Saint Benali

Thanks Pelle. Never understood the criticism of him. 23 PL goals in 2 seasons is good going. Scored more league goals than Rooney and Hazard in that time. So another season of selling off players (£11m for Wanyama, £34 for Mane and £13m for Pelle) which is around £60m before taking into account the £80m a season we will get from the new tv deal. So by my rough maths we have got a **** ton of money to spend.

Find me some good comments from fans of those clubs. And you are right he isn't out of work for long. Normally following being sacked or who he has assisted has been sacked. You like to give it the big one so like I said show me the praise for him. Until then shut up you keyboard warrior.

Can't believe we got Eric Black. Walking disaster machine. Ask Villa, Celtic and Blackburn fans.

Bad choice in my opinion. Especially with Eric Black involved. Les has proven me wrong before so let's hope this one does the same. But I can't help thinking this has got disaster written all over it.

Pathetic . Everyone involved with the FA needs to go. Why the **** did woy pick the team that played so **** against Russia. And those ****s who thought wilshere was a good pick after playing 2 games all year go **** yourself

Out of interest can anyone show us the pl table for transfers out over the past few seasons?

£30M you're having a laugh. The current board can't negotiate for ****. Looking forward to buying some more chumps from the championship....

What a goal. Keep forgetting he only cost £12m.... maybe we can cancel the redmond deal and go for him. Class player.

Maybe I am a bit dim but something doesn't add up with the Koeman thing. If he said he wanted to finish his last season but was told he needed to sign a new deal why did we get compensation? Surely if he was not going to sign we would of had to sack him?

Don't really rate him tbh. He is young and will improve but don't think he is anywhere near the level of Mane.

No thanks. Massive step backwards if true. Finishing 4th in the French league is not as impressive as finishing 6th in the pl. Will support whoever comes in but think this will be a bad move.

Like most people said Wilshere should not have been picked. To win only one game in that group is poor. Rooney was gash again too.

At this stage if we are worrying about money then something isn't right behind the scenes. Mane is a proven goal scorer in this league and will only get better. Anything below £40m is a joke when you consider what other attacking like minded players have been going for.

Good luck to him. Always felt he did well for us and hold no negativity toward him. Over to Les to get a replacement in of equal quality.

A man of no honour. No loyalty and no respect.

Nice one lads fair play to you. It's a great cause

Let's hope so!

"For me it was not about money. I listened to the vision of the chairman and how he wants to take the club forwards. I have been told I can spend the money we make from selling Lukaku, Stones and Barkley. It's a 5 year deal and I will honour the contract as I have done with every contract I've signed. It was never about money and doubling my salary had nothing to do with it. I'd have taken a lot less to join this great club. I will be here for the long run. Until I get a better offer from another club that matches my ambition of wanting a bigger bank accou...I mean matches my beliefs that money isn't important. I thank Saints for everything they did for me. The fans were amazing. I just want them to know it was never about the money. Now if your excuse me I'm off out shopping.

Any of those but Howe. We can do much better than a guy who's main achievement is keeping a team in the PL. We need someone with experience of Europe and has respect of top players and can attract them to our club.

Eddie howe can **** right off. Adkins did better than him. If that is the calibre we are after we are screwed.

Be interesting to see if the club enforce a non disclosure agreement. If that happens ala Mopo we will never know. Hope he is free to tell us why.

If the echo are right and he is leaving due to not being given much transfer funds then shows our ambition.

We have sold Morgan, Lallana, Shaw, Chambers, Clyne, Lambert, Cork, Lovren in the past 2 seasons. If Koeman goes do you really think we will be holding on to everybody? Plus has the transfer market opened yet? I thought it was the first of July?

I wouldnt call him a liar as such. He did say he doesnt want to be a project manager and be at a club who's ambition is to rebuild every season. After two years of doing that you can understand why he wouldnt want to do it again. If he goes which looks likely (Toby part 2) then I don't blame him for a second. He has done fantastic for us. If he would rather leave a top 6 club for a club in the bottom half then it shows he either buys into their ambition above ours, or he wants a lot of cash. If it is the cash then he can do one. But i think it is the ambition. Our board/owner have got themselves into a pattern of selling every summer. We might not like it but that is the truth. If lower teams start taking them from us then that is when i become worried.
