And that will have no impact on the morale of the current squad when they realise they're in 'nowheresville' for the duration of their contract? Don't know what you're laughing at TBH.

Spot on, it's madness.

Think we're making a mistake if we let every bit of bad news be some sort of ultimate proof of the evil of Mike Ashley, or even to always discuss things in those terms. These things happen all the time in football, a player gets too big for his current club and moves on.

That's my main conclusion TBH. To see a professional footballer tweet something like that, then another one pipe up to agree with him, is pathetic and embarrassing IMO. Just proves that most of them are immature and don't think before they act. I love Jose as a player and I want him to stay, but I wish people wouldn't throw their toys out of the pram in public like this.

Aye. Agree with that except IV, I think he's pushing costs down because he doesn't want to subsidise us out of his own pocket... I don't think it's primarily about selling. Selling assets doesn't make a club more attractive to buyers anyway really, it just makes it worth less.

Knew you'd be here defending them Ian . £4m net spend not been underwhelming then? Right, you would much rather this board was just a one-way discussion with everyone agreeing with eachother. Nothing has changed man, Enrique was always on the way out.

Bang on, "other people" have tried to warn the fans what was going on in the past and the blinkered brigade couldn't see that either. Insane that you think that an unhappy player angling for a transfer is doing some sort of public service to fans by moaning in public. Even if you accept Ashley is tight/shit/the devil, that's ludicrous.

Does any club spell out its transfer spending policy to the media?

Probably all true.

Even if our summer spending has been underwhelming, the change in the team has been nowhere near bad enough to justify a player leaving because of it. Certainly a player who was happy or happy-ish before would non way be swayed into leaving. What did Jose expect, us to sign Fabregas and Lukaku? He was already on the way out, wish he could have done it with a bit of professionalism.

I was 5lbs, about 3 weeks early.

Tough one, I don't want him if his preference is to stay at PSG really.

It's hardly makes him a permacrock that De Jong jumped on his leg bone then some clogger from the MLS lunged in on his ankle.

If they keep buying strikers then surely they would sell Sturridge for a decent amount. Band their door down Pards!

Having to be a member/ST holder to buy an away ticket. Ah right, didn't know that was happening. It's definitely an overreaction, although I would be interested to know how many away games sell out to members anyway. Seems like most of them.

What's the big money making plan? I've obviously missed something.

Average footballers can pass the ball, man. What a load of nonsense. Maybe I was being a bit generous.

As a person I don't have a problem with him at all. He always seems to be trying his best, he's just not very good. Bet he works hard in training as well.

I don't understand what just happened. What are we talking about now?

He is a below average player, I reckon if he could be trained to curb his diving in he might improve to just about average. We aren't going to be able to shift him, we've already paid most of his contract, so we just have to wait it out.

I was told that Cardiff would be hardcore, but the only interaction I had with home fans was one warning me to move my car to avoid getting a ticket. I did take the NUFC car sticker off the window though, thought that would be asking for trouble.

I always wear my shirt when going to away games, wouldn't cross my mind not to. That said, I don't go for a pre-match pint or anything so I'm probably not hanging out in the places you get spontaneously attacked. A soldier wears his uniform without fear... it's your duty.

And based on the fact that it's totally obvious to everyone.

Ryder. That's a classic.
