I suppose we won’t know until season’s end, really. Hopefully we never get exposed and the gamble “pays off” if we finish in Europe any which way (which I still think would be an almighty achievement, albeit understandably anti-climactic if 6th/7th).


We just need to try and make sure Bruno stays fit and available for the rest of the season. We will be in those European places if we do. The stats with and without him speak volumes of how important he is to us and how much better we are as a team with him playing. 
 

with Bruno: played 17, W10, D7, L0

without: played 5, W0, D4, L1

This is not true. 

exactly.

because even if he got a one year extension, we wouldnt have played him and he'd have been in the same boat he was now and wanted to leave.

he asked to leave so he could play and get the security of more than a 12 month extension.

Yeah, I really think we need to wait to see how the rest of the season plays out. All this talk of a mistake at this point is just silly.

arsenal went through the same shit last season when they blew the champions league spot.

stuck at it. and a couple of decent signings later....

 

i'm used to us falling away - we did under KK and SBR , so to me its a bit meh. annoying, but nowt new.

i just love the feeling emotion for my club again.

We should have kept him, of course that's correct, looking at our CM numbers.

 

However Eddie decided Shelvey's career and future were more important. I disagree with Eddie on the decision, but admire he's not so cold hearted to keep a player against their wishes.

 

I think there's also a question over how it would have gone with Shelvey if we'd forced him to stay. He means well enough, but he's not known for being super mature or wise. It's conceivable he'd have developed booboo face, set the wrong tone in the dressing room and taken away more than he added, especially if his personal habits slipped.

 

One of our most valuable assets is having a club full of people who want to be here more than anywhere, we should try and hold onto that wherever possible.

Not at all, but be prepared to discuss it when challenged. Some of the opinions you’re posting don’t add up, and some of what you’re posting is incorrect (for example saying that Shelvey is injured, which is objectively untrue). 


I think your getting yourself in a bit of a palaver about nothing but who cares really

Yeah, we'll be fine. We look pretty much nailed on for a European place which is great.

 

The Europa league would be more winnable too next season you'd imagine, and so there's that to remember if we do end up falling into that.

 

There's really not much of a downfall to this season at all at this point.
