He was probably told the score before he came.

Full stop? We barely have any players left to sell!

What is the point of pre season games if the majority of the squad now have to be brought in? Anyone who comes in the next two weeks will have missed the vast majority of pre season games yet will probably be first team starters.

The refrain in the championship when we sold chamberlain was 'well at least if we get to the prem we can keep them for a bit longer.' it now appears that this is not the case so I really feel like jacking it all in to be honest.

Seems to me that this chambers sale is the one that has got most people's backs up and that's certainly the case for me. If we sell all our youth players before they even begin to show a bit of their potential then we may as well fold the club and as Adrian said, sell everything and give it to charity. I mean what is the point if we are going to be subjected to this every other summer?

What was all that bullocks about the answer probably being not for sale?

We may as well be in the championship if this is how it's going to be. What is the point of having loads of money if we have no players?

If we sell Jay rod, chambers and schneiderlin then we may as well close the club down and it's basically asset stripping IMO.

Cork and fonte should have been a quick and easy pr win. For some reason we released that we had offered Jay rod a contract but he isn't signing it and neither would I do in his situation. This far this window has been horrendous and losing chambers would be the final straw IMO. Hopefully the fans will start making their discontent known. It has so far been much worse than even my most negative prediction.

Chambers? Schneiderlin? Fonte? Cork? How many losses do you consider acceptable? Whatever way you look at it, no first teamers publicly committing their future here and losing potentially six or more from the first team is disgraceful. I'm sorry but if this happens then the board is a joke and les has lied to the fans.

If true the board can f*ck off and they have lied to us.

True. We are weaker than when we came up IMO.

In which case that's potentially 6 first team players lost this summer. That is shocking however you try to dress it up. And to think they had the nerve to put up season ticket prices.

Maybe but then again maybe not. It's not like we haven't lost a whole host of players this summer and losing chambers wouldn't be that surprising. Probably lose Morgan as well.

It would be a start. This is just mental.

If the club sell chambers then we need some sort of statement about what is going on behind the scenes.

Major, Brown and milliband. All rubbish choices for pm. I agree with that even if I disagree with the rest of your post.

It's not the key but it's a big part of modern politics. It's one of the reasons why Obama has been so successful in terms of winning elections and one big reason why ed is so unpopular. On top of having good policies, a leader needs to persuade the public and people about their decisions. I can't imagine ed ever managing something like that and to be honest he isn't someone I would want to see representing Britain on the world stage.

You dodged my question then. It's not just how he looks, to be prime minister you have to have something about you that make you seem like a leader. He doesn't have that at all.

Do you think ed would be an excellent pm? Do you look at him and think of him as prime ministerial?

No we wouldn't be. We need him especially if we lose lovren.

Still better than milliband as pm. The thought of that makes me shudder. Even many in his own party don't want him.

He won't be leaving IMO.

If we got them I would also be happy. Not sure we will though.
