Never want to lose our best talents, but it's no different to the likes of Fabregas etc. It's no slight on our club that money talks - it happens no matter who you are, and agents will always take the money, and the players will always take the supposed playing benefits. Look at Michael Keane, Paul Pogba for slightly older versions...

Dominic Iorfa, the Wolves LB has been left out of their pre-season tour. Weren't we in for him at one point a few years ago? 22 years old and a decent player if I'm thinking of the right person!

Shortlist of 6 according to the Daily Star (I know)- Garde, Galtier, Clement, Favre, Labaddia, and Tuchel. Haven't heard Labaddia being mentioned before- anyone know anything about him other than usual Google pieces?

Slaven Bilic anyone? Can't be on too much salary-wise at Besiktas, can he? He promotes young players to the first team when they're good enough (see Croatian U21's etc), has a background in English football, plus I seem to remember him saying he'd like to manage in the Premiership at some point? I know they're in the Champions League, but I'd like to think that we're still a bigger draw than they are...although I might just be deluded on that?!

That was Marcelino wasn't it? Yeah, just found it from 2008- it was him. What about Bilic? Is he employed these days?

Can't remember the details now, but didn't the Chronicle report that Ashley had sounded out a young Spanish manager a few years ago?

no he didn't. At least not yet, anyway.

Players in the building, meaning Remy and Situ, I imagine?
