  1. I hate to say this as I like and rate Ron but I think we should cut our losses.
  2. He can't attack though and so doesn't fit into Sherwood's plans. I expect he'll be sold in the summer.
  3. Agbonhlahor is part of the bigger problem, the players who aren't good enough yet are eating away our wage budget. Gabby, N'Zogbia, Bent, Given - get rid of them and we're looking at 200k minimum per week saved but it's a lot easier said than done because nobody really wants them. Back to Gabby though - in the last 5 seasons, he's scored 33 goals in 164 games. That's awful, it really is.
  4. Our defence doesn't need a complete overhaul. We've got some good CBs there - just our full-backs (god knows how many times we've said this) aren't up to scratch. If we played defensively, I'd be happy with Cissokho and Hutton but it's clear as day that they aren't good at attacking.
  5. Given how heavily linked we are with Luongo, I'd be very surprised if we don't get him.
  6. Following in the footsteps of the greats, McGrath and Laursen? Be careful Jores ffs.
  7. The fact that they must be costing us more than 100k a week combined is horrible.
  8. I'd rather see him at Chelsea than Liverpool, in all honesty. The thought of their fans fawning over him and calling him one of their own, as they usually do, makes me feel sick.
  9. Look guys, a lot of the worries about Sherwood come from fear of the unknown. People are concerned precisely because there's nothing to say what Sherwood'll be like in the transfer market - he could be absolutely awful, he could great or more likely he'll be in the middle of that somewhere. Given all the crap we've had served up to us over the last few years, surely you can forgive people for being several times bitten, even more times shy?
  10. But he has subsequently shown that season was a one-off. He hasn't surpassed mediocrity for a good while. He can certainly be upgraded on, whether his replacement will be an improvement is another matter. I can't say that I'm liking the links to that 26 year old from Brentford. Absolute tripe. He's a far from mediocre keeper ffs.
  11. I think getting rid of him is going to be very difficult.
  12. I'll tell you who was effing phenomenal, Zat Knight. Bring him back! NUHNUHNUHNUHNUHUNUHUNUNUH ZAT MAN
  13. I think it's perfectly reasonable to not be sold on Sherwood yet - he's got some very good results for us but let's be honest, he's not shown any real tactical nous yet and didn't really at Spurs either, so it's a legitimate concern.
  14. Links to Micah Richards are worrying. He's awful.
  15. Has he balls Vlaar's going through an uncharacteristic bad patch - this is the worst he's been for us and this is not his normal level. Collins made mistakes all the time.
  16. Yep - it's been another awful season. We've got to sort things out and have a better one next season - starting with a bit of a clear-out and some fresh blood in.
  17. Guzan could be our keeper for the next decade - I'd much rather Given was a little bit upset than Brad.
  18. It has been a dismal season but that's not Sherwood's fault. He picked us up when we were in a hell of a mess and managed to drag us over the line. That said, I'm not entirely convinced that long term he's the right guy. Regardless, the FA cup is not going to be a decisive factor in what has been a terrible season overall. There's a lot of work to be done this summer.
  19. When he's on he's a good player to have, when he's off he's absolutely diabolical.
  20. Not at fault for the goal - released it quickly to start some counters, his kicking may have been a bit off but still, not a bad performance.
  21. I apologise for the way I feel right now. This. 'Good. Well, not 'good' but not exactly bad either... erm...'
  22. This - he didn't really do that much in those games, in all honesty.
  23. Load of crap, glad we're not relegated.
  24. Why does that matter R.Bear? Even if he did, is he not allowed to change his opinion?
  25. I'm a little worried Sherwood's going to be a bit 'jobs for the boys' this summer and just get people like Button in. There's no way he's anywhere near as good as Guzan but he'd be fiercely loyal to Sherwood.
