Oooh is it Tony Adams ? or from a serious point of view now the Spanish manager's circus is shaping up: Sampoli (rumoured) to be leaving Sevilla for Argentina. Berizza is leaving Celta this season and is (rumoured) to be going to sevilla. Valverde is leaving Bilbao and is (rumoured) to be going to Barca now Enrique has resigned (this will be officially announced on 29th). But personally I'm currently on a german coach hipster vibe so would love us to give this Naggelsmann kid a try or get Hasenhüttl from Leipzig but I expect we would have 0 chance.

Everyone who said Tues 6pm or earlier (i've been wanting to use this gif)

Come on Dalek, he over performed against your metric, you should be absolutely buzzing about our performance.

Think it is because Ziyech cant join us until after the final tomorrow..... I wish.

I cannot find 1 rumour about us anywhere.

At least I can confirm after last season at Leicester Koeman wont be bidding for targett.

Agree with the sentiment about modern china but they are doing a slower version of what happenend in russia. To be honest I really dont think there are too many people out there who you want buying your football club. Americans/russians/indians and chinese owners get grief all the time. I think it is because unless you come from a country that has a large football influence in it we always think they are up to nefarious things as they "don't get" football.

Russians have Krisha (and Ambrovich got Chelsea), the Chinese have guanxi but both are used to facilitate business. We may call it corruption etc but in those markets this is how they run.

Bertrand wasn't Bertrand until we bought him. He was a bit part player who was on loan at a **** villa team before us

Yeah Id agree with that I remember back in Sept/Oct there wasnt much complimentary things being said about Bosz.

I'd like us to get this guy. Has passion, knows exactly what he wants and will pull out all the stops to get it.

He has the new "pelle of moaning" infront of him called Redmond. I've never seen a player with such a fragile ego that no matter the mistake he always blames someone else (redmond i mean).

I've read that book, it is awesome how he survived on that philippine island for so long until 1973. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-25772192

Sell Put Boufal on right and get Ziyech in at no.10

Lucian Favre maybe worth a shout although he could be off to Dortmund to replace Tuchel. But we could then get Tuchel and Nice can have Claude back :-)

Think Sevilla want him if the GOAT Sampoli decides to join Argentina but I am confident we can outbid them.

its not today its the season and how we have played I think the general moaning is about, we want to try and win not keep it tight and nick it, we have played well today but again just can't score

Think we have enough retainers of the ball We've all been moaning that there needs to be more risk from us to create chances, boufal runs at guys and creates panic in defences but he loses balls a lot in doing so.

I've realised this season is a cunning plan to stop other clubs buying our players this season by being crap.

The trolls just waiting for it

Lets see if this still works its magic

To be fair the only consistent thing about this season is how boring our game has become, from the european stink outs to the non goal scoring runs. Lots of passing round in triangles but no pace so the defence always gets back, no pressing as a team and no proper no.10 to create and score.

I love that Gabba always follows up others shots, only him and shane seem to do that

I liked what Pied and Caceres brougtht to the game last week, considering they have both not played for a long long time I thoguht they were good. I like that as a CB he was bringing the ball out a lot and would be good to see him and virgil strike up a partnership next season if we choose to keep him.
