  1. Yeah I'd rather have a successful dickhead than a nice loser as manager, any day of the week.
  2. He's clearly being brought in as a reserve - makes sense to replace Given with someone a lot cheaper.
  3. There's that and also the question of how much of a part he's playing in all of this. There's Lerner, Fox and Reilly seemingly involved too.
  4. That'd work for me.. just get the sod away from the club.
  5. He's good backup. I don't think he'll be more than a good Championship keeper if first team but that's all we really need anyway as a 2nd.
  6. We managed to survive McLeish and Faulker combined. That's pretty impressive, looking back.
  7. If that means getting rid of overpaid rubbish, then I'm all for it.
  8. Except he's not doing that in the way that we were debating, which was that he'd just sign up as a coach and as a result, write off his playing contract. Let's not get into revisionism now. or This one. He's going there as a player, possibly as a player-coach - that's the difference. He's not writing off anywhere near as much as he would if became simply a coach with us.
  9. Looks to me like he's letting his keeping do the talking and busting his arse to get the number one spot back, which is exactly the right attitude and why a lot of fans really like him.
  10. Guzan with Steer as back-up is fine IMO. Given leaving is a blessing - 60k a week we can put towards someone who'll actually make a difference.
  11. Except he's not doing that in the way that we were debating, which was that he'd just sign up as a coach and as a result, write off his playing contract. Let's not get into revisionism now.
  12. 4 million euros would be excellent, too good to be true.
  13. It's like choosing cancer or AIDS.
  14. He's the only LB at the club I trust to do his job but I think being a rotation player is not enough for him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go because we're clearly looking for a full back who can attack well and he doesn't fit the bill.
  15. Which is why we need to get rid, if anyone is stupid enough to take him.
  16. I hope not, I don't think he's good enough. He's almost 24 and he's still 'raw'. That's not boding well.
  17. Maybe if he was on a third of what he's on now.
  18. Yeah - those two would be amazing coups for us. Amavi had the highest rating in Europe at LB on whoscored, which is especially impressive considering his age.

    Joe Bennett

    I'd bin off Bennett and Luna. Could get about 3mil combined for the pair of them that could go toward some of these players we're trying to get.
  20. I think he's back-up in case we don't get Praet.
  21. He could be lining up in a midfield of himself, Gueye and Praet next season. Awesome - he deserves to be playing with a better standard of midfielder than say, Westwood.
  22. I don't think we'll get Amavi now. I also think Benteke'll go. Even so, Gueye and Praet would make a massive difference to our midfield.

    I'll be surprised if he stays here now. I hope he does, mind.
  24. i thought all footballers were getting pissed on their summer holidays? Could be doing both tbf.
  25. They don't really have much to offer us in terms of their squad players, which says more about them than it does about us. If Benteke is still here on Monday, I'll be surprised - looking pretty terminal now.
