I agree I think 10 players sold is too many in last two seasons. Ten players of quality.

Spot on its pathetic.

My god I don't believe our fans.

Just stupid comment he's playing well and been good for us.

Combined with now: Forster Clyne fonte Toby shaw Wanyama Morgan Mane j rod lallana Pelle. Bench, boruc, Lambert, Bertrand, lovren, cork, chambers, clasie.

Absolute nail on head.

A bit different to losing to Everton at home 3-0!

What? By showing a bit of loyalty? So did it annoy you le Tiss stayed with us?

Any one know what decade this may happen?

What about clasie? A team of midgits.

Clyne was bigger than Cedric though. Think Jimmy Krankie was too.

What about longs performance?

I can't believe how small the bloke is for a right back. Like a 10 year old out there. Any decent manager will just tell their big centre forward to pull into him.

I thought tadic was a lot better than long. Long is supposed to work hard yet didn't cover targett at all. A 12 million buy who hardly scores goals and doesn't have much skill. Tadic at least created a great chance for pelle today. We always in this country seem to like the person who appears to run the most but doesn't achieve anything.

I know it is nipper just hoping we can sign two very good players.

Yes okay. Forgetting that we have lost 3 of our best players abc it looks unlikely we have replaced them with similar quality so far. I live in hope tho.

Did happen for a bit tho didn't it. I know you're right.

I'm not melting mate. I just admitted I got it completely wrong last season. I still bought a season ticket tho as I have this season and still going to sing my heart out every game, but just being realistic. I think we had a freak summer with replacing players but think it will catch up with us eventually. We may see if Mitchell was key to that too.

Mate tbf you were the first person saying to me after last summer that after cortese left things were goin to go downhill. Okay they didn't as we had a freak summer but now a lot of the things you said were going to happen have, like the board have decided they don't want the same ambitions as cortese had. I will support club through thick and thin but let's be honest it's very likely with the policy of selling players that we will be as good or better than last season. I absolutely love the club and don't blame anyone but just saying that's likely to be case of you sell that many players over that short period of time. My expectations are less even before today. It's not a problem.

I agree mate. Just under cortese we were having a go. It doesn't matter as it wasn't his money but katrina decided she didn't want to aim for champions league. Not a problem but we can't expect to improve every year. So it's not a surprise. Also, to sell that many players in that short length of time is unprecedented even for us.

I don't. But I don't think we will. My opinion mate. I don't see at all how we have a better first eleven without clyne, Toby and Morgan. It's okay having a lot of players and saying you have a squad but if the players aren't as good as the players who have gone what's the point. It's too early to say but basic sense tells me we should be worse. I hope I am wrong and will be first to say I was if I am. I was wrong last summer when we sold players massively, but I do feel we got very lucky last summer.

We finished 7th cos our recruitment got it dead right last summer. We did amazing at recruiting players last summer. A carlsberg of a summer. Very rare a club does that well with it and if course, we've lost our head of recruitment since. Anyway, this will make you happy, everything is perfect we should have sold everyone and the players we have brought in our much better And today we were awesome.

Nobody seemed in a hurry to leave before cortese left as nasty as he was. In fact they were all signing contracts for long term. It was obvious from what they all said that there was a big change in strategy after he left. I can't blame katrina it's her money after all but it's not a surprise we may not continue to improve.

History tells you you don't stand still let alone improve selling that amount of good players. I hope I'm wrong but I think we got a bit lucky last summer with players we brought in. On the good side,betrand will improve us,hope we finally sign a cb that will and Romeo and classie will. J rod will improve too. Very concerned by the size of Cedric tho. I'm entitled to my opinion like you. I don't feel we have pushed on. I will still support team through thick and thin every game but be realistic.

Catches up with you in the end tho. Also we lost our head of recruitment in November.
