I have no doubts players like Lennon and Defoe are like this seem like big timers who played regular at the time for England. I can understand not wanting to play friendlies midweek during the EPL season, as i think these are stupid, but qualifiers and friendlies in the summer/ end of season is a disgrace.

Cork and Morgan are great in our holding roles, i would love to see us play 2 pace wingers and one striker, it gives someone space to be a either number 10 player or have freedom to be the one spraying the passes to wingers or the number 9. However i am not sure what RK wants from his teams and his different tactics he uses.

Good player but overated by some fans gave the ball away cheaply at times, stats prove it, think he gave the ball away more then any other defender bar 1 last season, however fully expect him to get better. No loyalty form a player i expected better from.

Every team i support in any sport i would stay loyal to them if i was in pro in that sport, but thats me. Il rather earn 20-25k a week be a cult hero and legend then move to another club earn 40-50k a week or more, my sporting heros are MLT and Allen Iverson, two of the most loyal and loved sportsmen who won the heart of the citys they played for and the fans that paid to watch them, while having teams built around them and being the main man, thats something i would much prefer to have along side my name. Specially now as well as England players are now from all clubs not top 4-5.

If Sturridge keeps missing easy chances and being a gready ****, i fully expect him to be dropped him and Rooney are poor at the moment. Lallana Barkley AOC Sterling look good going forward, this guys need to play as much as possible in the WC. As for defence Johnson had another bad game, i really fear if Cahill or Jagielka get injured were in big trouble. From what i have seen in the friendlies were finish 2nd and get knocked out in the 2nd round, our main strikers cant finish consistently and we have a poor RB, i would normally not judge friendlies but if we cant finish and we have a weak postion in defence it will be shown in friendlies and we will be in trouble at the WC. Any good team would of punished us last nite for missing them 2-3 good chances and with the poor passing and decisions from Johnson.

His only negative was playing players out of postion with no natural width and pace, bar that he was a good manager, and wish we kept him, but as others said he left us at the right time. I hope if Koeman comes in we play the attacking pacey football he has been playing in Holland.

Nice guy and down to earth, hopefully has another crack at the football league, has a better chance at Bristol there wanna bounce straight back.

Gaston is the one i really feel can improve under the right manager and a good world cup and pre season. Osvaldo unless he comes out says sorry shaking Fontes hand and Fonte forgives he is not to play another game for us again.

I would renew but i can not afford it, i do have 180 pounds left from my ST money that had to go towards baby stuff, dam kids, so that should get me the 1st 2 home and 2 away games, before my 2nd child comes along, then its a case of me going to one game a month, unless i win a big bet or lotto. IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT, DO IT... However i would love it if we do fail to sell out alot of games it may force the club to reduce tickets or freeze the price.

Beattie was not better then Lambert, Lambo is a better all round footballer, but i respect everyones views. Lambo is a legend and Beattie maybe is as well. Thank you Lambo, warm welcome when your back.

Deadwood is all gone now pretty much. If we raise 64.5 mill from 3 player sells, then KL should allow 40-45 mill of that to be reinvested ,that can buy 3 replacements. Rebuild again, i personally am not worried about this situation and the players leaving for big money, its all about the new manager that comes in, if he is a high calibre manager and aloud a big transfer kitty to bring in 3-4 players, il be happy.

Liverpool did really well this year, but i really hope they do crap next year, teach them for being big i ams towards us, and clearly tapping our players.

From a business prospect i think she is in it to make money, if she can sell our top players for above value she can make money herself and put some into the club to run itself, example. 30 mill for Shaw = 25 mill for SFC 5 mill back to her for the money she has spent/ Out of the 25 mill new manager is aloud 20 mill to use as transfer fees 5 mill for agent fees and wages of new players, should she do this with every transfer where she can make money and allow the club to become self funded while keeping us happy, what this means is, we are going to be a team that regularly finishes around 14th-11th with the odd good season.

Best game i saw from him was a 10 min spell at Swansea away, he had two great chances when he came on, great pace which is something we lack, i really hope MoPo can get his touch and finishing up to scratch and we will have a great player on our hands, J Rod will miss at least the 1st 4-6 games, so this gives him a shot to do something in them games.

I Thought Shaw was with us since he was about 11-12 not 14 and ex Chelsea YTS.

Reminds me of a Beckham type player with his work rate passing and set pieces but without the crossing ability of Becks BUT is only 18/19 years old.

I would love to have the option to wait before i renew, however im not renweing due to monies and 2nd child on the way however should one of my 45 or 50-1 bets come in on sat of which has a 2 pound stake i will renew as that plus my savings takes me to the 300 mark and il pay the extra on my credit card, no matter whos in charge or whos wearing our strip.

TOP 4 for me. 1. Roberto Di Matteo would be my choice, done great at MK Dons Chelsea and WBA sacked harshly by WBA and Chelsea. 2. Uwe Rosler would be my 2nd choice if we can get him, Wigan are a club whos owner will not let him go cheaply, and despite there pathetic fan base a really well run club. 3. Gus Poyet would be 3rd choice, but same as above bar the fan base comment. 4.Tim Sherwood, seems a good coach who would work well with Les Reed, and least we would see his passion and his honesty, his record and win ratio is actually quite good.

As owners who have backed us, i love her and her Dad for doing this, however she along with the hockey coach need to make the right business decision and NOT sell anyone until after the WC, becasue there Values will increase should they do well, and i feel clubs are taking advantage of that like Liverpool and Utd by trying to make it look like they dont want the players having there future on there minds etc, bull its all about getting them cheaper. If they sell after il respect that as it 1 gives us a chance to boast any say we had 3 lads in the squad and 2 if Shaw and Lallana play and do well, you can add 5 million on that price tag as the buying club will be desperate to get them in for pre season and we will benefit from the world seeing there talent and there profiles raised, and she can keep the extra money as long as she invests the rest back into the squad.

Back up GK LB CB Winger and maybe CF if we can offload Osvaldo, and we can finish top 6, each postion would cost 5-6 mill max, some would even be frees or loans. This season i am a firm believer we would of beaten Cardiff if Jay Rod was fit and Villa away, as we lacked his pace and power, add them extra 5 points on and were going into the UTD game knowing a win takes us above them, there is very little we need to add, to ensure another top 8 finish and maybe sneak a 6th place finish with luck on the injury front.

Shaw i feel will be staying until Chelsea come in for him, why leave just to play for a big club, top 4 will be a strugle again this season as they need 4-5 good players and LB is not a major area they need improving in, Erva has been fine this season, there lack of quality has been at CB CM X 2 and the inconsistent play of the RB fill ins and Wide players. Anyone with a decent footballing brain at UTD, should look at CB and CM 1st then go from there, now finical fair play would then mean after spending 30-35 mill on them postions they would not be able to spend 30 mill on Shaw.

Our project that involes academy prospects playing in the 1st team is more similar to Barca, however we lack the fan base and historic and special Catalan backing they have. I really feel should we keep our star players and manager this year and brought in a few free transfers and loans, we could do a Everton and finish top 6, all Everton did really was keep all there best players bar 1 sold him brought just as good and allowed them to pay high wages for a top quality striker and wide player who they got on loan.

I think if he has a proper footballing coach like MoPo rather then his Dad or Pulis, he could use his pace and skill in the right way to develop into a decent premier league player, if not hes a free agent and would be a fine back up.

One player who if Poch stays i feel could max his potential out would be Tom Ince, we could sell Lallana and Shaw get 40 mill for both after paying bmouth, and also get Ryan Bertrand, offer them both good money then we have some good young player replacements.. Then add a another 2-3 players and have some change.

I am not renewing had to get a new car and child on the way, however have saved enough to go to the 1st 5 league games home or away, then go to one match a month, gonna miss it in the kingsland north great banter there. Unless of course i win a nice 100-1 bet or win the lotto lol.
