I think so much depends on the ambition of the board, lallana and schneiderlin have basically came out in interviews and said they would like to stay as long as we push on. Basically if the board can say to pochettino we are not going to sell key players unless you say so and sell it to him that they want to improve last years finish and push for europe we could keep him adz and shaw. If we dont and one goes i think we could see the domino effect and the other players will know we have no ambition and it could very well explode. We knew cortese was a ambitious man, perhaps this is his reason for leaving that the club was not going to match his ambitions so he thought ive taken this club as far as it will go. Question is now how ambitious are the board we have in place ?

Yeah sorry was just counting starts, Controversial opinion here but i think if osvaldo played as many games as rickie this season he would have been more prolific. When dani was starting we were messing around with the formation to accomodate him and lambert and it wasnt working. I dont think hes a bad player it just didnt work out due to lack of run in the side,and silly suspensions and attitude

Osvaldo scored 3 goals in 9 games giving him a 1 in 3 strikerate. One thing ill say about him gaston and lamela is none have them had a decent run in there sides. Players need games to be on top form

I hope he stays, some of his play is great first touch technique etc.at the moment i think if we let him go the only loser is us, with lambert looking like he might be on the downward spiral lately i was really looking forward to dani coming back. Its in our best interests to manage this situation properly. Tame the beast and get him back to his best. Letting him go is the easy way out and wont benefit us as we will take a hit on what we paid Did alex ferguson just ship out his stars when they had been naughty?

My reason is i see cortese as the saviour of the club when we were at our lowest. Without his idea we could of been another pompey case. His amibitions benefitted us fans as we have risen like a phoenix from the flames. Lets not forget where we came from. Kl wasnt here when we needed saving ,if she just sells the club to whoever pays her the wanted ammount all corteses work could be for nothing, Everything now depends on who she sells the club to,and lets be honest it could go either way.

Im pretty angry because i see this as corteses project, it was he who talked marcus into buying the club,came up with the master plan guided us through two promotions, and made the right decisions with what managers and staff to bring in, granted it wasnt his money but boy i bet he wishes he had done this differant now. Kl on the other hand is just someone who has fortunately had a great project of someone elses money and hard work fall into her lap and can now do what the hell she wants with it . For all those saying we are better off without cortese, you are completely shot away and ungratefull. What if he never talked marcus in to buying us where we be now ?

This i like Nice gaston avatar btw

Thank you Nicola you took us from the lowest point in my time of being a fan and transformed us into a top ten side in such a short period. Its just a shame the owners ambition didnt match yours or europe would have been a very realistic oppurtunity. Ps please come back and buy us

What a sad day, cortese was the best thing to happen to the club in 30 years! Absolutely gutted :'(

I ve always been one of the biggest supporters of ramirez but i dont just see it as he as somehow amazingly improved,its more a case of mp and others.seeming to be blind to what he offers, hes always been a creative player. And will always create more chances then the likes of cork davis and rodriguez, nice to see a few waking up and smelling the coffee especially our manager!

Just been watchin the valencia game feghouli looks a cracking player some great runs inteligent play and good goal. Also another couple of players we were linked with: pedro piatti. Looks very nippy low centre of gravity good dribbler doesnt always make right decisions but looks like he could be a handfull on his day,he also scored Most interestingly though ever banega is being kept out of the side at the minute by parejo, so maybe. He could be available now

What is wrong with some people? This season ramirez 5 starts in all competitions 3 goals. Last season 20 games 5 goals 3 assists. Dont let the stats get in the way of your silly rants though. Obviously he must be rubbish because hes not been starting?

Im really starting to like your posts roger, you are seeing things the way they are. What is the guy supposed to do if the manager is not selecting him? How can people really be that disapointed in him? If you look back at his assists and goals per start his record is pretty decent. I think he is much better player then rodriguez personaly,he has better technique better eye for a pass better shot and is infinitely more skillfull,rodriguez offers workrate pace but not a lot else his touch and shooting technique is lame and he only really scores toe poke finishes,he loses the ball just as much as gaston if not more but only gaston gets criticized. This really winds me up

Nice to see a couple of supporters can still see things in a real light Instead of jumping on the lets bash gaston band wagon at every chance!

Here we go again bad result it must be gastons fault ? I dont agree at all thought he was one of our best players in the first half, look at the great ball he played to set rodriguez up, do you really think rodriguez did more then gaston today?. End of day we played well up until torres got the fluky goal after that we were chasing shadows gaston looked more likely to produce something then most,

Davis cork and wp do the simple things well, but when you want creativity gaston and lallana are the ones who can open up defences. Mp has done a good job with us but i cant help feeling that sometimes he is too negative,with the midfield and attack, its no wonder rickie and osvaldo have been struggling this year because its only really lallana capable of anything special with gaston on the bench!

Pocchetinos treatment of ramirez has been ludicrous tbh, lets be honest cork jwp and davies are all the same type of player sideways passers and not much creativity. Then you have gaston who can beat players play cracking slide balls and hit beautys like today sat on the bench. Todays goal was for you gaston haters. WHAT YOU SAYING NOW BARRY BULL**** HAHA

YES YES YES such a waste of talent not playing gaston. pochetino has been great for us, but him freezing ramirez out is starting to annoy me, i dont know if its some off the pitch argument that has resulted in this,but whats most important for the team should be more important. BRING BACK GASTON!

Gazza looks a complete liability to me, as soon as boruc went off yesterday our entire defense looked all at sea it was quite shocking. you also get the feeling nearly any attempt on goal will result in a goal, so i guess il say davis

What annoys me with this situation is the way fans are getting more and more on his back this season when he has had zero starts in the league, this doesnt mean hes crap at all this is down to pochetino, maybe they had a fall out,or maybe hes just not mps type of player but for christ sake he has done nothing this season to warrant all the abbuse. Personaly i see a great player in gaston but he needs a run in the side I would be really confident of him turning this situation around with a run of games but it may never happen under mp.

They are 2 of the most powerfull clubs in a way of attracting players. But to answer your question they would not be regarded big clubs in the same way as liverpool utd etc, do you think many people regarded man city as a big club going back 10 -15 years? .

All this big club crap gets on my nerves, players and managers go where the money/ambition is not to the team with the biggest fanbase or history. from liverpool fans all you ever hear is big club big club yet torres didnt think that when he was leaving for chelsea, neither arsenal or liverpool can compete with chelsea and city when it comes to signing players so i guess big club isnt the be all and end all

In my opinion exactly the same applies to gaston!

What a totally stupid article. So we make a. 15m record signing striker play him for 7 games and then loan him to juventus ? That sounds likely:)

I still think its more infrastructure then manager. Most of this stems from corteses game plan which he had since he took over. Is it really a coincidence that every manager since the cortese era has done well? I dont think so.. A plan has always been in place the manager carrys it out and we continue to improve., i actually wouldnt worry if we did lose mp as i just feel every. Decision nc makes just makes us stronger and stronger
