It's funny, you know. If anybody else had posted this it would look like a sarcastic p*ss take out of the stereotypical doom mongers.

The "5 year plan" they talked about wasn't just about getting back to the Prem - Cortese has actually gone on record saying that is just one part of it.

Never gets old.

Not thought about sticking them up on youtube?

By utter mongs, yes.

Fair enough, I was looking at the managers of other teams.

I've skimmed through it and have no idea what you're talking about r.e, getting the managers name wrong.

Essien and Gerrard have got completely different skin colours but they are similar players. Comparisons don't have to be physical.

I rate Howard. A lot. But he is not twice as good as Hammond or Chaplow.

And by all accounts, Stephens is a very good passer of the ball as well.

Indeed, it's common practice nowadays. Bournemouth have been doing it for ages now. "Oh, he REALLY wanted to stay, but then his agent had a word in his ear".

What? We only have 2 fit CMs at the mo, so getting one in loan means we must be selling one of the others?

Derry was complaining before he even signed.

Tall, imposing midfielders like Viafara or Idiakez.

Was it against Huddersfield he scored that absolute belter from the edge of the box? Can't quite remember now - but anyway, you shouldn't take a 37 goal season and expect the same each year.

I trust FM and Skysports more than Wikipedia.

Here's the all important FM stats (click to enlarge).

But you wouldn't want Guly in a two man CM either would you? That would leave the other person doing all the defensive work.

OS is wrong In fairness, youth players switch all over the place. Lallana and Chamberlain were both CMs in the youth team, Walcott and Dyer both strikers, hell Kenwyne Jones started out at right back.

He's a striker

I'd never heard of Hammond before we signed him tbf, and he's been good for us despite what people think.

No-one, he is only on loan - IF it even happens. He's 23 I think.
