So just Rooney in reply to his point then. Sanchez is very happy according to to Wenger and neither he nor Ozil are Captains.

The club would have known this was coming for weeks if not months. A plan will be in place and with the timing of the transfer request I expect him to leave this window. The propoganda war has started.

The only other (real) option is Oriol if we want an outfield player or I guess Forster.

Always thought Andrew Davies was a better player than he was given credit for although I seem to recall winning player of the season when only playing half the campaign. Shows what a state we were in then I guess. Injury prone unfortunately.

I don't think he'll be allowed to field twelve.

Planning to play 'a youthful' team against Norwich according to The Echo http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/15002169.Puel_set_to_take_a_gamble/?ref=mr&lp=1

We played 6 games over a near 3 month period in the Europa League.

His game has improved this year without a doubt.

I feel quite guilty that we haven't let the footballing world into our secret of mass rotation. Once they find out and it catches on then we'll be really in for it. Can't believe we've got this massive unique edge on everyone else but let's make hay while the sun shines!

I can't seem to find this list, only the one referring to winger Douglas Costa as his most difficult opponent. Who else is in the eleven?

Jordi Clasie £5.8K p/w at Feyenoord, £40K at Southampton. There's your reason he's here, nothing to do with 'shop window'. I don't doubt that some came here as a stepping stone, in fact I'm sure they did but to use this to justify all those names you've given? Sorry.

Yes near the end, by the touch line. I think Fonte was a tad, err, frustrated!

Was it as bad as Fonte's challenge on Rose the other night? The one he didn't even get a yellow for. I hear what you're saying though.

I didn't see the pen but he red card was very soft. It was right in front of the Lino and he didn't even flag for a foul.

He was on a hiding to nothing there. Bruce knew that.

Or whether it's the players or managers fault.

Not sure what his contract situation is but if the Swansea board are resigned to going down then they might be interested in dealing (with someone).

Do you have a link to the interview?

I recall he was introduced as Puel's choice at the time. Was that really the case or was he appointed by the club?

Is this the same Blackmore who thought Bertrand had a bad heel?

He said there are lots of interesting possibilities. I think.

Ahh, the old post something stupid, get run ragged and then claim it was a joke. Excellent effort. Anyway, where were we, oh yes, Claude.

Did you really just write that? Lols. I think the club will act when they start getting hit financially due to declining gates.

Les will certainly make sure he he is not held responsible so Claude will be the fall guy.
