I do think if we're to lose Shaw to a big club, it wouldn't be bad business trying to get a player or two in return.

I like him. He's a good player. However I don't see where he would play. He'd probably play out wide for us but is a poacher, so not sure it would work. Could he play up top on his own, I'm not so sure.

I just don't see us buying players from teams around us, they'd cost too much and we like to develop our own players into the prem culture, rather than being a gob****e from another club.

I'd expect us to bring players In from abroad. Could do with a player who can play anywhere in the "3", Possibly 2. Some "realistic" suggestions...(admittedly some more realistic than others) Drmic Vela Immobile Aduriz Cabella Lasogga Lacazette Aubameyang Firmino Griezmann Berardi Adrian Ramos Ok some maybe pretty likely to be looking at bigger clubs than ourselves but would think one or two of these are gettable.. All comes down to the ambition of the chairman.

That's why Foxy went there....!

Supposedly Andy Carroll was "injured" for so long as he was in rehab....."allegedly"

He wouldn't get in Chelsea's side, would probably struggle Man City's. Man Utd he'd be stuck out on the wing, Liverpool he'd be in competition with Coutinho. He might as well just stay. The only team he'd walk into above us is Spurs.

He's absolutely dreadful, had a few good games recently though.

Do think he was very good today.

Unfortunately he's injured !

Working great stream

He's fine against sides we have a bit less of the ball and break up, but today, I think we'll have a lot of the ball, will be a bit niggly in midfield and we need to switch play quickly. Hopefully he has one of his better games, but I've never seen a footballer so bad at passing.

Nothing working yet...does this definitely work? Not used this site before.

So surely the perfect game for Cork then ?!

Not sure, They dont like gambling when Wanyama is there cos they know he'll give the ball away.

Boruc, Clyne and Wanyama in. Gazza, Chambers and Cork out. So: Boruc, Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw, Morgan Wanyama, Lallana Davis JWP, Lambo. SUBS: Gazza, Chambers Hooiveld, Reed Cork, Guly Gallagher Can see why Clyne has come in, gives us a bit more pace that we lack with Chambers in there. Not sure about Wanyama for Cork though, Wanyama was shocking vs Villa t home.

We don't have anything in an attacking sense apart from Lambert and Lallana. Gallagher isn't ready, and Ramirez and JRod injured. Can't see us scoring more than 1.

Don't understand how he's been allowed to come to this point where he'll be entering his final year. Maybe it's him who is putting off signing? I'm hoping that this will be sorted sooner rather than later because he's a top player, and should be in the England squad above people like Cleverley IMO.

They're good on the break, and the way we play we're always susceptible to a counter. Can see us bossing it and them winning 1-0

Lovren is pure class

Nah never heard it.

Pleasure to read that. Top lad

Teams who have a big turnover of playing staff generally under perform. I don't want to see a lot of players going out and in this summer. It may well have a catastrophic effect.

It's a real testing time for the new board, especially after saying no one will be sold that Poch wants to keep. Fair play they've done some good things, but I have a feeling that they're not going to rival how well Cortese did his job.

Oh sh!t. THEVMAN is never wrong. Shaw, Schneiderlin, Lallana? Might actually cry if that happened !
