If he'd played Rondon and lost him through injury that would end any hopes of survival.

The likes of Joselu, Hayden Manquillo, and Kennedy should be transferred out for free to get them off the wage bill or make them work in the SD shops because they are not fit for purpose when it comes to playing football

If Joselu plays the best we will get is a 0-0 draw

Interesting piece in the Chron by Parrish of Crystal Palace. He says Ashley doesn't care about getting relegated because it doesn't hurt him financially

I thought we couldn't have any more loan players as we already have 2

All Mitro does is wear a path from the centre circle to the oppositions penalty box. He makes half hearted attempts at closing people down but when his team aren't in possession he offers nothing

Poor Mikes probably been up all night working on the HMV purchase and Rafa's transfer list

Leicester wouldn't really be a challenge having just won the title recently. All he'd do is replicate Ranieris achievement. To win something with us would be megga plus I do believe he has an affinity with the fans and the area otherwise he'd be long gone

When Keegan was here, training was open to all and 3000 + turned up to watch. Can't see the problem

Rafa would be better off posting his 'list' to Greenland

Really surprised Spurs haven't stepped in to take this striker as cover fr Kayne

You pay money for Sky Sports which goes to Ashley, how do you stop that?

I get the impression that his feet and his head are made of sponge. Nothing comes off him with any venom plus he scuffs any shooting chances he gets

I think he just looks slow compared to Joselu

Knowing that you have no chance of winning the cup, why risk players who we really can't do without. Can you imagine what would happen if Joselu picked up a bad injury and we lost him for the rest of the season.........

Thought he did a great job at Huddersfield but the gap between the top 6, middle 8 and bottom 6 grows forever wider. It's almost like 3 leagues. He got more money to spend than Rafa (but then who didn't) but not enough that was needed to buy the sort of quality needed to bridge the gap

looked good yesterday. It's always easier to play with good players around you so once Mike brings in our new signings he'll look even better

We should consolidate our league position tomorrow

I fancy it's not just about the asking price, it's all of Ashleys SD add ons plus 'Oh by the way the club owes me this and owes me that so you have to pay me that as well' Then the investment needed in the squad and the training facilities and stadium . All just to just to give us some stability and dig us out of the hole that Ashley has put us in and it adds up to a huge investment.

Thought we'd received a big offer for him

I have been a supporter since my dad first took me to a game in 1954. There have been hugely disappointing and frustrating periods during those years but they can't be compared to what is happening at the club now. For what it's worth the current scenario has gutted me more than at any other time. I don't believe any protests or boycotts will make one jot of difference to Ashley. He is here for as long as he wants to be and the only thing that would force his hand would be the collapse of SD and the rest of his empire. I won't buy anything that I think comes through one of his companies but all that does is give me a little personal satisfaction. Mike Ashley doesn't think 'Bloody hell, Jims not coming into my shop anymore' Sadly we are lumbered with this guy until he, and only he, decides otherwise

Same old names come forward, Moyes, Allardyce......................how do these people keep getting jobs, they've proved time and again that they are useless but keep on picking up big pay offs

It really annoys me when I hear about the interest free loans that Ashley has made to the club and will of course need to be repaid to any future owners. If Ashley had paid for all of the advertising he gets (income that all other clubs enjoy) then we wouldn't have needed any loans. Imagine what that amount of SD exposure would cost if he had to buy it. This is why so long as the club survives on the bare minimum then he is in a win win situation

Last couple of streams I've watched you can hear the coaches yelling (above the volume of the commentary) none stop at the players and that includes Rafa. Maybe they have there mics positioned different to Sky

On yesterdays display he should be shipped out, along with Manquillo, Murphy and Joselu and that's only for starters.
