I wonder how other teams manage to move the ball out from the back without these two?

Ah, probably. Much in the same way Jaidi is an ambassador to North Africa, he probably covers Central and North America.

I'd still be OK with Clyne and Morgan going, although with the recent news about Clyne... Personally I think we need to sell one of Morgan or Clyne to improve the squad as much as we need, with hopefully Austin and two keepers coming in, plus a few AM to replace Davis, Elia and Djuricic. Unless we're planning on bumping up McQueen and Hesketh.

Absolutely. I'd already given up on him going, the cynic in me thinks these comments are here alongside the Rodriguez thing just to sell a few more tickets before deadline but...he's putting his neck out in a big way. On another note, what does Ralph do nowadays?

Which I guess is the point Bucks Saint was making here...

I know, looking back it makes more sense but even so - if we'd kept him, loaned him out maybe, we'd have a replacement for Clyne ready this summer. Then again, it looks like Clyne is more likely to stay now!

The one comment that really blew a lot of peoples confidence was "we want to keep our good young players" which I believe was only a day or two before Chambers was sold.

Stop it, everyone. Getting our hopes up is a terrible idea! I've given up on Clyne and Morgan, i'm preparing myself for Wanyama to go and i've accepted that Toby is signing for Man City.

Arsenal: Mathieu Flamini, Abou Diaby, Damian Martinez Aston Villa: Darren Bent, Ron Vlaar, Chris Herd, Enda Stevens Burnley: Dean Marney, Steven Reid, Ross Wallace, Michael Duff, Danny Ings Chelsea: Didier Drogba, Gael Kakuta Crystal Palace: Shola Ameobi, Jerome Thomas, Brede Hangeland, Owen Garvan, Damien Delaney Everton: Sylvain Distin, Antolin Alcaraz, Luke Garbutt Hull City: Steve Harper, Liam Rosenior, Paul McShane, Alex Bruce, Stephen Quinn, Yannick Sagbo, Maynor Figueroa, Joe Dudgeon Leicester: Esteban Cambiasso, Matthew Upson, Paul Konchesky, Marcin Wasilewski, Dean Hammond, Conrad Logan, Zoumana Bakayogo Liverpool: Kolo Toure, Glen Johnson, Jon Flanagan, Jerome Sinclair Manchester City: Richard Wright, James Milner, Micah Richards, John Guidetti Manchester United: Tom Cleverley, James Wilson, Ben Amos Newcastle United: Jonas Guitierrez, Ryan Taylor, Sam Ameobi, Freddie Woodman Queen Park Rangers: Shaun Wright-Phillips, Rio Ferdinand, Joey Barton, Richard Dunne, Brian Murphy, Bobby Zamora, Karl Henry, Clint Hill, Alejandro Faurlin Southampton: Artur Boruc Stoke City: Jonathan Walters, Thomas Sorensen, Peter Odemwingie, Andy Wilkinson, Wilson Palacios Sunderland: Wes Brown, Anthony Reveillere Swansea City: Gerhard Tremmel, David Cornell Tottenham Hotspur: Brad Friedel West Bromwich Albion: Boaz Myhill, Chris Baird, Gareth McAuley, Youssuf Mulumbu, Claudio Yacob West Ham: Guy Demel, Carlton Cole, Jussi Jaaskelainen, Nene Flamini, Yacob and Mulumbu are interesting as midfield replacements/back up. Micah Richards is also one i'm hoping we sign to replace Clyne.

I'd just be happy with Wanyama in all honesty. I'm already resigned to losing the other two and i think the money we'll get from them will drastically improve out squad.

Can we put to bed the "no good player has signed a new contract" line now?

Unless we're getting relegated I don't think we should get rid of Koeman at all.

Long played one game up front for us - against Chelsea - he and we were superb that day. I have no doubt that when Pelle is on form he can score a hatful, but when he's off form get him out the f*cking team. He must have been gutted after this - http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/11859789.Long__Keep_me_up_front/

Yeah...but not for this season. I wonder what CB Fry thinks of our chances of finishing outside the top 7 now

You gotta wonder what the f*ck they're playing at.

None of the above, just "f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck".

Indeed, the only evidence we have either way is that those types of bonuses ARE favoured under this regime. Didn't our championship team earn an extra 30% or something every week we were in the top 2?

What a load of rubbish, we've played worse than that in 2015 nevermind in the last 10 years.

In our last 10 games we won 6, drew 1 and lost 3. stop trying to rewrite history.

Absolutely, I would.

I remember roughly the same statistic being true of Mane when he first arrived.

Pelle trying the fancy flicks when it's completely unnecessary yet again.

I've seen far worse. Playing the ball around well in the opponents half but the defending has been sub-standard, keeping awful and the final ball non-existent.

Wanyama just got shrugged off the ball by Jamie Vardy. The team have given up, there's no way that would happen otherwise.
