I can't believe that actually happened

The guy actually turned up with a grotty piece of A4 to show that Colo had written the letter.

It was a complete shambles. If we had kept Carver in any capacity ... just urgh.

Did he ever even sit with them? The only time I remember him sitting was when he was hiding in the dugout, which was awesome.

I agree with the sentiment, but you don't remember Pardew ever discussing things with Carver or Stone during the game? Really?

I genuinely don't. Just remember him prowling up and down the sideline acting like a tit.

The hiring of Cathro tells you everything you need to know about McClaren. Even in that first game, you could see them interacting and him actively discussing things with him in the stands.

Pardew would be threatened by anyone with any kind of ability, and would not have never hired anyone like that. I don't even think I ever remember seeing Pardew discussing anything with his staff during the game. Not that they would have had anything to add.

Instead Pards was too busy on the touchline bellowing at the players, you know showing his "passion" and "desire". Con artist extraordinaire that guy.

Really don't think Southampton are clearly better than Swansea at all! Swansea are bloody frightening.

Have some confidence that McClaren won't s*** himself if we lose a couple like Pardew though.

No doubt. We'll stick to the way we play and look to get better. Very refreshing.

We won't suddenly start seeing Cisse on the wing, and left -backs everywhere, or some nonsense.

What?!  :lol:

Eriksen has been alright, and has really been the only one to stick.

It's incredible they have nothing else to show for that money.

Even we had the likes of Cabaye, Ba, Remy, Ben Arfa, Debuchy come and go, and all of those would still get into their team!

When you look at the team Swansea have managed to assemble it really is outstanding work. This will be a hell of a tough game. They have threats everywhere.

Have really been impressed with Gomis too. Really should have signed him when we seemed to take forever to get it sorted. Messed up big time there.

Completely with you man. So sick of him.

Imagine where Spurs could have been with that Bale money. Completely blew it.

Anita's back in training.

Cabella too.

Dummett hamstring set back.

Long distance running, maybe. Which is ironic, as he looks knackered after 10 mins on a football pitch.

Yeah, definitely. I was thinking more explosive sports.

He needs to sort himself out man. Get on some sort of programme over the summer to work on it. He has everything available to him to do so nowadays.

Instead he's always on silly lads holidays and posting things on Instagram. Aarons stays back over the summer and puts in work afterall.

They have been going on about how he needs to add strength.

Why is the brother so damned skinny. I mean he's no longer a teenager. The man is now 23. Still so rail thin, especially his lower body, which is not good at all for any kind of sport really.

It's a small sample size but what i saw of that Youtube vid he can definitely play I was quite surprised by his general play going off that tbh.

There was a video on Vimeo showing mostly general play. The guy looks so impressive in that one.

These are the guys out there that are responsible for getting players for clubs ...

Mitrovic can't play football, and can only head. That's just crazy. You will find no other scouting report out there in line with that "expert" analysis. Ridiculous.

How good is dunk is he actually good enough to play in the premier league for a mid table team?

Is Williamson?! Come on man!

Hughton man. We need to get a statue up if this goes down. What a man.

Man, such a good dude.  Happy to have him on the team.

Mane is class and should have been playing for us, if our French sniffing scout was as good as he's made out to be.

That's just throwing money away.

 

7 max IMO

 

Think £10 million is about right.

 

Not really he's bang average.

Yeah, but I'm taking into account the "English premium".

In reality he should be around £7 million, yes.

Think £10 million is about right.

Is this £15 million fee just being attached to all English players or what? 

Townsend isn't even a first team player for Tottenham really. Bit ridiculous when you think about it. But I guess he gets picked for England.

Personally, I prefer to blame Pardew for everything. Thanks.
