Not sure if true but someone earlier told me around 3-4pm that Victor and another player was being shown around the stadium, the other player i wont name has been mentioned on here before. I didn't think it was true but now Victor has signed the other player could of well been there....but im not holding my breath. Great signing, still need more signings imo, a top striker and a winger will do

how strange, being young i would of thought we would of kept him and got rid of Fonte ( who i thought was our worst cb last season ) or Jos.

ok so the chairman has struck an agreement to move onto the next stage, a bigger stage, he wont be selling our best players. But the only worrying thing is that Arsenal ( who have tracked him for a while ) have said to be splashing the cash this summer. I'm sure NC wont settle for bids anything less than £20 million for him, if he really wants European football he needs to get a special team here and that would include Morgan.

He wont be our main striker next season, if we are to move on and upwards we need a much better striker, sad but true. I wouldn't sell him but have him on the bench. I'm sure NC and MP have already planned targets, Victor Ruiz is also a target to strengthen our defence.

Yeah i would love if Villa or Stoke went down

play all 3 in a 433 formation?

yep this

Easy being a England manager, if a top 5 club buy a Englishman for lots of ££££ pick them and keep picking them til they either retire or move to a lower premier team. England really need some guy in there with the bo**ocks to start picking players who are on form and play week in week out for any club in the top tier and to place them in the same position they play for their club. That means you don't get knob heads like Milner moving to City to sit on the bench for half a season and still get picked for England.

YES PLEASE! If we were to step up to mid-table/top 10 team we will need to start paying wages that other clubs pay, we can or could afford it if we were to become a top 10 club as the prize money coming there is insane. SS has the pace we need, he runs at defenders causing problems (something we lack) and used to pop in a few goals for Swansea so would be great addition.

I'd keep Mayuka and that's about it from that lot, im sure MP has a lot of South American/Spanish players in mind to strengthen us but we need to get rid of that list first.

Morgan by a country mile. Young player goes to Shaw, crap player goes to Fox.

Saints Reading Wigan, unless we can sort out the final 3rd part of our game we're down. Drastic changes are needed but we don't have depth.

A very good player, reads the game very well and does the simple stuff very well. Of course his crossing isnt any good, he's a CB lol

heart says no but gut says yes. Reason is he's 31 and that's a very good price for a over 30. Also we will be aiming for a Spanish/South American style of play and they don't tend to have a striker in the Lambo mould, they go for more of a striker who closes down, tracks back to help midfield, pacey, lots of movement etc, not having lambert will mean no long balls. Look at Liverpool, they have turned out to be a pretty good side since January, they have no big striker to aim for, they use lots of through balls to pacey forwards and it's working really well using the 433, something we should aim for. Loosing Lambo for a world class striker in the Suarez mould (without the cheating) would be great.

Fonte scares me and this would be more Spanish/South American style so no striker and JRod is playing well down the left, Forren to come off when he tires but he needs game time. Never know it might work... -----------------Boruc---------------- Clyne------Forren----Yoshida-----Shaw ------Cork-------Morgan-----JWP---- --Punch--------Ramirez--------JRod---- Subs: K.Davis, Fonte, Richardson, S.Davis, Lallana, Lambo, Mayuka

I can see a lot of changes in the summer so he can get in players which will work to his system, i reckon a new striker to replace lambert ( he cant play that spanish type of football, he has no pace) 2 new wingers and a right and left back (more for cover). Where we lack is quality in the final 3rd. We don't really have anyone who gets the ball and runs at the defence, that always causes problems. lambo has on many occasions had the ball clear with only 1 defender left but he has no pace to take him on, instead he waits for ppl to support him and by that time they have more defenders and move breaks down. I'm not saying that we get rid of Lambo, Punch and Lallana, we just need better players who can do something they don't and having them as options on the bench or replacements for injuries would be a lot better than what we have atm. On a side note JRod has looked a lot better under MP. I think we should go 433 having 3 standard CM's, no playmaker types that would protect the defence a bit more, Cork Morgan Jwp would be my choice atm since i don't really get S.Davis but i would like a quality CM come in to play alongside Cork and Morgan. Oh and make Morgan captain.

i'd play him in a midfield 3, jwp cork and morgan with lallana and punch on the wings, under MP we seem to be playing very well and have more goal threat when we have 3 CM playing in the 2nd half.

They were all staying up north for the game against Wigan

All depends, he was dreadful against Chelsea, he didn't even celebrate when Lambo scored but against a Everton side that didn't turn up in the first half he looked ok. I'd rather have someone in the Coutinho mould than Guly any day. Guly has improved though he now tracks back well and i've seen him tackle but i still do not think he is a premiership player that we need, i'm sure there will be a huge clear out at the end of the season if we stay up and i think Guly could be one of those who goes and maybe a one or two shocks. Playing the Spanish/Bacra style won't suit all our players.

Ode To A Superhero - Weird Al" Yankovic Score us a goal, you're the Spider-Man Score us a goal tonight 'Cause we all sure could use us a hero now And we think that you'll do all right

Played in his best position and fired up by a fellow South American, i think MP will get the best out of him

Oh i see, some chants are just shiiiiiite

looks like the 4231 formation, can someone tell me why are there boo's when Shaw has the ball? whats he done?

at this rate Newcastle will get relegated, maybe Norwich and West Ham will get dragged into the fight soon

The club does not speak to The Echo, they make so much **** up it's unreal.
