Weird one his tenure as a whole, Done really well when you consider a European Final and a WC Semi, but then at the same time feel like he's underachieved as we should have won something with the players we have. He always seems to include 3 or 4 shocking selections in his squads, The inclusion of Phillips is a joke.

What a win, I dont think we will go down after all

Probably.

They are young kids that we have managed to keep a hold of. I have no doubt about it that Patterson, Ballard, Clarke and Neil will end up in the PL. I said the same about Stewart and I think he would have if he hadnt been injured for a season, Infact he will probably be there with Southampton next season. Theres others too, but I think the four above are nailed on.

Yes but thats the way we need to do it. We had absolutely no value in the playing squad when KLD took over, Fast forward 2 years and we have several players who could potentially go for 8M+ We are tied with FFP and therefore we cant go out and spend millions on proven Championship players, If you do you are then stuck for two or three years as you have blown your budget in fees and wages and in that time you essentially must get promoted instantly or you’re fucked. Southampton and Leicester can afford the risk and expense, Theyve brought in millions and have parachute payments to fall back on. We are behind the curve of more than half the division and therefore need to be creative in other ways. We need to have one of the best scouting systems, use data, utilise loans well, offer other academy players first team oppertunities on a permanent basis, get better value from abroad etc, it’s not easy. Stewart is our 7th highest sale of all time, It shows you how badly our recruitment has been over recent years. We picked him up for 400K and sold him for 20 x the fee. More than happy with our window, retained our best (fit) players and added more youth, quality, potential and value to the squad, all bar one on a permanent basis.

Very happy with the window, Managed to hang onto our best players and cashed in on Stewart who had no intention of staying for a big fee. 4 strikers in total now, albeit alot unproven but that’s the model they go for and it hasnt done too badly so far. Only one I’m not sure on is Batth leaving as he was solid for us but have to trust once the lad from PSV is fit, he’s the one we have alongside Ballard.

I didn't know you had a heart attack, But i'm pleased to hear that you are on the mend and I hope you get sorted. I hope it wasn't caused by all that stress talking bollocks about Sunderland

Over 24 hours to come back with that..

There's rumours of Michut coming back, Which I dont get at all, I thought he was shite personally. Nobody seems to know our business mind, Any rumours seem to come through the other club or agents, Seems journalists get nowt anymore. Right on cue, We're getting someone from PSG at right back to replace Gooch, out of nowhere.

Granted I don't see a lot of you, but whenever your on Sky he seems to get a head injury, Every time he's on the screen he's on the floor, concussed to bits after a walloping

Liverpool and Burnley in for Dan Neil now, 11pm can't come quick enough.

Yeah I am surprised he isn't going to someone better than us to be honest, that's if it's true like

We won't be anywhere near relegation in my opinion, The leagues much tougher this season though so I think we will be around 8-10th.

We have agreed a deal for a Ukranian Striker called Nazriy Rusyn, It appears it was between us and Donetsk but he's here now for a medical. We have also apparently agreed a 5 million fee for a playmaker from Lorient called Adil Aouchiche, previously of PSG on a 5 year deal. Rumours this morning we are also in for a midfelder called Miguel Crespo from Fenerbache, there'll no doubt be others but nothing concrete yet in the media. As for who we need, a definite number 10, a striker and a holding midfielder I think and we will be fine.

Big day today, They need to get it right. Not arsed one bit about losing Gooch or Pritchard who both look like they are definitely away, They wanted longer contracts than we are prepared to give and if you keep a hold of players like that you will never progress that much. Naturally didn't want to lose Stewart but it's good money for someone who we have been without for a year and we don't know if he will even come back the same player. I will be disappointed if we flog Roberts as he is quality, Looks like Southampton are offering a 4 year deal which is pushing him towards making the move. Looks like we have a few replacements lined up but it's going to be a gamble.

That's funny, You posted on the 31st December that he is shite and worth 1 million at most, Since then, He hasn't played a game and you are saying he's now irreplaceable and 10M is a bad deal for us. You are magic you mind.

How is he irreplaceable? 10M for someone who has been injured for almost a year, has no intention of signing a new contract and is coming up 28 is good business.

10M is good business mind for someone we have been without for a year and has also had previous injury problems in the past. He's quality, but he's rarely fit.

Ipswich are a good side and have made some really good signings, Wouldn't surprise me if they end up in the play-offs.

Injured and seemingly too far apart on contract negotiations between both parties, Doubt he will play for us again.

Agree with that, desperate for a striker. We have about 8 full backs and one fit striker.

It was our second choice 11, 3 days out before the season starts, whilst we shouldn't be getting hammered with our second string, it's of no real relevance.
