Andy Robinson has left Bolton are failing to settle. One academy graduates career which isn't gong too well!

Wasn't Redknapp sacked? The only key player I can remember them losing was Modric for £35m, their other transfers were just squad players going. The fact is that's what happening to us is unprecedented in top flight football, we just need some signings of high quality - that's the only way to salvage this situation now.

I must admit, it's a bit frustrating that we're not in there for this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2697756/Romelu-Lukaku-rejoin-Everton-permanent-deal-48-hours.html

I think you need to quote yourself and disagree with your own point, just to balance it out a bit. It's not like anyone has done that before.

Can't really make a call at the mo, tbh. Not until we've added a squad. (or worked out who else is to leave...!!) If it's as it is though, probably relegation battle all year - and if we do get bad injuries, then undoubtedly we'd be relegated. But that won't happen because we will buy before the season! Other teams....Liverpool will have a battle on to finish top 5, I feel. They lost their ''difference'' player, now they're just average. (Any team with Flanagan and Johnson as full backs will let in lots of goals). I expect Man Utd to be right up there, a long with Chelsea, Arsenal and City - I've got a sneaky feeling Chelsea will win it this year though.

Monk.

That's the thing, he hasn't. The club are GOING to, in the next 10 days.

You need a squad, and you will not find a better squad experienced CM anywhere. He's a terrific squad player and it would be ludicrous to get rid of him, utterly moronic.

what the **** did I just watch.

Not entirely sure what Burnley's transfer policy is all about. Fill the squad up with utter dross?? They seem to be going on the basis that Palace didn't go out and buy lots of foreigners and they stayed up. Yep, but they bought proven players....Ledley's, Dann, Puncheon, etc etc. They're just buying average NPC players. Bizarre.

Gone past caring about getting anything back for the ****. Just make sure he doesn't drain our wage bill any more is what I say.

.

He has recovered, fully. He's just got to get his fitness back now, and build up the muscle tissues around the knee. That's it. His knee injury recovered and healed fine.

True. I'm frustrated with Gaston personally, but there's something in there that is hard to just write off. Got no issues with sacking off Osvaldo and getting no money, but would be keen to see how Gaston responds. Probably his last chance, if he fails to make an impact this year then he's probably got no future here.

Apparently not from what I was told today. The club have no idea where he is as he's not responding to them, they're having to go via the agent. Personally I'd sack him for breach of contract and have done with it. Utterly horrendous human being.

I see Alpine is out on his own once again,

I know people will say ''Well, Zidane smoked'' - yeah, but he did it on the pitch. He could do what he wanted....because he was spectacular at his job. Jack has fitness problems, injury problems and form problems. Surely he should be spending time training and keeping himself in top shape? That's what annoys me when I see him acting like that. He could have been a great player, but will now put into the same bracket as ''could have been good, but never made it''. Utter waste of a player.

It's an interesting tactic, I can't remember seeing a new contract leak into the media like this before? New contracts with us are announced on our OS - that's when we know about it. Seems a tactic used to put the ball in Jay's court, the club have clearly been forced to act upon significant interest. His rehabilitation is going much better than expected fwiw, should be back October time.

Until we have replacements, then you do not sell Fonte. Fact. Still not quite feeling the ''poor the year before''. He wasn't bad, he was a regular and grew into the side as the season went on. He struggled with the pace of it all as did everyone else at the start, but he learned, got better and stronger. He's now a fully tried and tested PL defender, and with or without Lovren he's a damn fine player. We're just setting yourselves up for another Makin - Bennett style combo on the opening day.

Wouldn't even take that. What would it leave us with? Yoshida and Jos. Enough to make you **** your pants at the thought of it. Buy 2x better CB's in the De Vrij mould, and then we can conciser selling our current CB's.

No, you're pretty much wasting your time all being told. He's a regular in a PL team. He's not going to come back to the NPC. Surely you have more worthwhile targets to be spending your time on?

Kenyan international duty.

It's a shame that all of his tweets are utter rubbish. Safe to file this in the tosh bin.

It's not really a job though, is it? They get paid millions a year to kick a ball about with their mates, whilst gaining global stardom and global sponsorship. I certainly wouldn't be miffed at having to go back to ''work'', that's not work to me...

I'm sure it was either Guan 2.0 or Monk who said it, but Cork will sign a new 2 year contract in the next two weeks.
