I'm assuming they'll get more compensation when he goes to Real Madrid. It's the 'everybody happy' approach to modern footie

Wrong. Les Reed is in S****horpe

the dead hand of a club with no ambition whatsoever, other than to pay off Gao's bills

Arteta way above our level IMO. Was touted for Arsenal job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Someone ask Jeremy Wilson to do an update. Mind you, I expect Saints' PR machine already has

Redmond is a player who has only shown flashes of being any good, tbf. Too much sideways and back, too little use of his pace. Terrible finisher. On the whole have been very underwhelmed by him and, actually, no-one knows what Pep said to him. I reckon he said something along the lines of 'why don't you use your talent?'. Would echo that. Rarely does.

If true I'm scaling back our chances to medium. Surely we have money left over from VVD or are we skint?

and look where that got us.

Why shouldn't a manager be involved in transfers? If left to Reed alone we'll be doomed as there's too much 'sell-on (probably to Liverpool) potential', and not enough 'building a team'. Hence the bunch of individuals we ended up with and which nearly sent us down.

...and Redmond keeps hitting pause and rewind

The more the hours tick past, the more one sees Les Reed's face a-sulking and a-stirring. Let's go for the dream double- hiring Hughes and firing Reed

No. It's unfounded suspicion. But all referees are paid by the Russians. Fact. HTH

I sometimes suspect that after Leicester, the FA said 'never again, please', in concert with the top 6. Can you really imagine anyone winning next season apart from Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man U, Spurs (that hurts), or Arsenal. Not sure I can. in that sense, it is pretty sewn up.

Very fair assessment. And that last point applies to all the players too. Bit depressing really. The Prem is sewn up every year.

Wherever Pellegrino ends up would be worth a phone call.

Probably worth remembering he was gash for most of the season, but definitely has great skill that Hughes has shown he could harness. Hope we keep him but think he'll be off.

I think the delay is due to Hughes' clause 36: 'Can I ignore everything that tit Les Reed says? Please.' Lawyers are checking if that is watertight or that the 'tit' refers to his breast area.

Swansea considering Frank de Boer. Crikey. also Potter and Staam

Starting to almost get a 'why hasn't it been done yet' feeling around Mark Hughes unveiling, supposedly today....

Very good news Yoshi is staying. An honourable man at a time when that is becoming rarer amongst Prem footballers. Need more of them in our team, and fewer Boufals

If Bertrand played exactly the same way for Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal or Tottenham he would have been on the plane. And there, in a nutshell, is our problem as a club.

Mark Hughes is our level. Get him to sign.

He's a very good keeper. Light years ahead of Forster, who is scamming a living as a pro. Pay him what he wants (within reason). Then get a beast of a centre half in front of him.

He'd have tried Forster up front if we'd have given him time. Worst manager in history
