To be fair, if it had been called Mohammed, the hurricane naming people probably would have got the old Charlie Hebdo treatment.

While the club's stance is admirable I would be tempted to just flog the **** and be done with it. Should get enough cash for a decent replacement and re-fresh our striking options. The club are in a difficult position and without knowing all the facts it's hard to criticise whatever they do.

I guess 7 goals from our last 144 shots might have something to do with it.

It worked with Lambert, Lallana and co, the with Pelle and Mane etc. IMO we miss the presence of a Lambert/Pelle type, and the energy Lallana or Mane gave us. I don't see any of our current strikers as the type to play the one up front, we should either change formation or personnel.

Naa, it's just jealousy. He seems pretty kosher to me.

The problem is if someone is a bit ITK then you always get some nobbers on here who get jealous and jump on them.

I keep flip flopping between wanting to do this and just getting shot of the **** and using the money to strengthen the team. If we can get silly money for a centre back it does make good business sense, especially considering it is in attack we seem to have most problems.

Has he actually said he is on strike now? Must have missed that , last I read he said he was not refusing to play.

I will be amazed if we get anything from this.

Either play the c^nt or sell the c^nt. Stop all this pointless ****ing around.

I know for a fact he did. On a freelance basis for many years.

Well that's our best chance of a trophy gone - ****ing useless ****s

Kevin Palmer used to work for the club, not sure if he still does but I expect he still has good contacts.

Great news. I'm guessing this opens the door for Dykes exit.

What a load of nonsense, the board have done the right thing standing firm. If we end up selling before the window then do be it but we have shown we are no push-overs.

Ridiculous, who cares if one word is spelt wrong? People who get picky over spelling is a pet hate of mine. ****ing idiots.

No reason why we should accept a penny below our valuation, we don't need to sell. If VVD is still here when the window shuts he will have no option but to get on with his job.

I would put out the strongest team possible, this is our best chance of a trophy and the players should all be pretty fresh.

**** me, for £70mill you would expect the **** to be fit.

I didn't like the way he left with the cup final on the horizon - we may actually have some silverware now had he shown some loyalty. It's always fine to boo opposition players in my opinion - it's all part of the pantomime.

I would never feel sorry for a millionaire who gets paid ridiculous amounts for kicking a ball around a field.

Smart move, saves having to spend the night in that dump of a town.

Of course it was terrorism. His white supremacy beliefs were a direct cause to what happened, just like when Islamic extremists do the same thing Islam is a direct cause.

No reason why he can't play.

Agree, but I can't see where there is much to be made. Whilst we have made good money on player trading it is a bit of a lottery. Merchandise - not much scope there, tickets - pretty near the ceiling there. Footballing wise - not much further we can go without massive investment. My Only guess is that if Lander are in the stadium building business they see potential in addding value that way?
