Fonte won't get a testimonial, he'd have to stay till 2019. Davis should have one this summer though...expect a few ex-wimbledon players for that one too.

Most likely over a girl at his age.

We're using that chant for Romeu so please no...bad enough we use one chant for four different players at the moment.

We won last year because we played defensively to be fair.

Bertrand is doing well, but he is essentially throwing himself at the attackers and letting Fonte and Van Dijk pick up the second ball. He'd struggle as one of two.

What's that one?

Playing in DM you're not going to notice him as much, but he kept the ball moving nicely for us, especially when switching the ball. I said in the summer that he could do what Schneiderlin did for us eventually, and he did half of it last night. Needs to find that bite and defensive awareness that Schneiderlin did after a couple of years playing the role.

So it's no longer the guy that did all the patterns at the end of the season?

With Mane gone in the summer we'll need another attacking player with flair and creativity. Reckon he'll step up then after already having had a year to settle, learn the system and "gel" with his teammates.

Might be ridiculous, but i'd rather keep Long than further develop our squad into one I have little connection with.

Thought the "Charlie Austin is a Saint" worked well enough yesterday. At least it's something a bit different.

He's 32 so numbered anyway. Reckon we could squeeze a profit on Pelles transfer fee if we're smart about it. We've proven to be a lot more dynamic with Long and him and Austin could be a cracking partnership for a few years to come yet...

His all round play is a lot better than people give him credit for...

It isn't confirmed yet guys

Or he'll take a role coaching youth while he does his badges.

Think he's talking in all comps, which he has 8 so far. If he starts up front the rest of the season he could hit 15.

Only if Cedric starts on saturday...

Nope, why is everything always one way or the other on this forum. Both good players who will do a job for us.

Gets goals from midfield, which we've been missing.

I think he's ready to start already. Or i hope. Stekelenberg was good once but is suffering from the lack of confidence in the entire side.

I suggested signing Shelvey in the summer and was laughed at on here because we couldnt afford his asking price and apparently he'd go to a bigger team. Well...

Fair point and I'd probably agree, I didnt know what subs were made as I was at work. But the slagging off of Shane Long needs to stop. He's done a good job for us. Remembering of course that actually when everyone is fit, Long isn't starting every week.

This whole physically suited thing is a load of old b*llocks, I'm sorry.

Shane Long has proven himself as an effective premier league player, especially for us. Seager has great potential but should not be starting ahead of him.

Pochettino and Lallana really are c*nts.
