  1. This - big downgrade on Vlaar if anything.
  2. Talk about rubbing salt in the wounds, no thanks!
  3. I think it's worth remembering that this was far more an arsenal victory than a villa loss. They didn't allow us to get going because they were much better in every area, on the pitch and tactically. This was more about our limitations than our fault.
  4. I'd guess Chinese owners would go for a Chinese manufacturer - 361 degrees maybe?
  5. I think he's got a season's grace Skarroki - he'll be 21 next Feb (as per Wikipedia) and I think that's the age to conclude whether or not he'll be able to cut it.
  6. Good summary TBA - nothing to add or take away from that.
  7. All I want for the club is a sound, competent strategy for the short and long term and people who can implement it. The Dalian Wanda group has massive assets but will still have to get round FFP. That said, they can probably generate of lot of money for the club (from sponsorship and exposure in China) which we could in turn use to make us better.
  8. Yeah the Chinese love the Japanese - I believe they have a yearly summit in Nanjing, where they reminisce about the good times and sing campfire songs.
  9. There is no way in hell we could afford Yarmolenko. He's an awesome player but it's not going to happen. If he ever leaves Kiev, it'll be for big bucks to a top team.
  10. Ings gone to Liverpool then - not sure they'll be in for Benteke now.
  11. He hasn't done well for his entire career. 18 in 142. Eesh.
  12. I might be on my own here but I kind of hope we sell Benteke for 30mil and reinvest in the squad - we desperately need about 3 or 4 10mil players, because at the moment we've got hardly any players who are worth that kind of money.
  13. They paid the same amount for Costa as they would have to pay for Benteke. I can't see it myself. Costa was an unknown quantity in the Premier League - Benteke isn't, so I think it's fair enough.
  14. Less than 20 grand a week? You are Doug Ellis and I claim my five pounds.
  15. If you were offered the results before we hired him (without knowing the league table) I think almost everyone would have snatched your hand off. It should have been more comfortable than it was, really.
  16. Booooo! Just to get it out the way early.
  17. At this stage, 2 good strikers needed if those lot (not Kozak) go. 2 New, Kozak, Gabby and Robinson would do.
  18. He was unlucky to finish so low given the fact we won a fair few games - could easily have gone down due to the form of other teams.
  19. Not optimistic but trying to keep my chin up - no point fretting at this point. Ask again in 6 weeks or so.
  20. Gary took his chance at forest well - he's in a good place to kick on but he has it all to prove. Let's hope he works out like delph.
  21. He's inexperienced and very self-confident, not surprising if you ask me.
  22. lexicon

    Losers

    Mentally strong players is a must for me, Clive.
  23. I think he's a Sherwood type player - can see him staying for sure.
  24. Out with the old and in with the new. No point fretting, just got to get on with it.
  25. A little disappointed but not surprised really - Everton is probably a better fit for him and it's not like we were pinning all our hopes and dreams on him. Time to move on and find someone else.
