Also looking forward to some of thisJoe Cole - Underrated: http://youtu.be/9Bh-Jf9UeCs

With all the doom mongers insisting that we're going down you'd have to assume that finishing mid table would be a success, yet I wonder how many fans would get off lamberts and the teams back if we did finish half way up? Not many I expect

I'm a big admirer of Cole, I think this signing is a masterstroke

Apparently Keane has pulled out of tv commitments with itv for the world cup, so either the takeover is imminent or its miles off, I can't see Keane upsetting itv for a job that might last a month if the new buyers don't like him

At a time when we are gonna need all our players to perform at their optimum, I think Keane is a bad move, half of the dressing room will hate him within the first week, he's divided opinion since he quit playing

Maybe we're going for martin too? Unlikely I know, just seems really odd that we're being linked with Keane, can't see lambert bossing him around

I don't actually mind the cost of the shirt all that much, but both my kids want the full kit to play in, so I'm looking at about £200 before I've even got my own shirt, the prices of the socks and shorts for juniors is staggering

I think they should alternate the year of release for kits, for example this year you would get a new home shirt which will last 2 seasons, then next year release an away shirt that lasts 2 seasons, that way if you want the latest shirt your at least getting your money's worth, and if your the kind of fan that wants a new shirt every year then you've got that option too

Yep totally agree, my daughters shirt lasted 6 washes which wasn't long as it's practically her second skin

Yeah meant luke moore haha, I'll let myself out cheers

Whatever happened to throwing kids in at the deep end? We shouldn't keep wrapping these young footballers in cotton wool and then wonder where all the promising young talent has gone. I think grealish should be given his chance, he's earned a shot at 1st team football, yes he needs to raise his game a level or two but you can only do that playing against quality teams week in week out, I can appreciate protecting keepers and defenders is a good thing as a bad experience could hamper their development but surely an attacking player needs to be let off the leash. Where would Owen or rooney be had they been sheltered from the 1st team?, I remember rooney playing against us in the youth fa cup final and he looked far from premiership quality and by contrast luke young looked like a worldbeater for us, obviously rooney rose to the challenge and I think grealish would too

It would give away the identity of our new owners maybe? Just being optimistic

Maybe they just fancied pizza for lunch

He's only lost a little of his pace, I've still seen him strip a few quality defenders this season, and he works well with benteke, you all know for a fact that if we sell him he'll start banging the goals in, we should persevere to bring that form out of him

I don't believe a word that Keith Harris says, his lips don't move! Highly untrustworthy behaviour
