This Shame to see him go but like you say Reed has effectively put the nail in his coffin. Been a grear servant for the club but Morgan, Davis and Vic are better players for the team and JWP and Reed are great young players that need time. Will be good to get a fee and allow him to get first team football

This is crook, he has nothing of any importance to report

He has a lot of experience to pass on

Its just military posturing, nothing more IMO

Hopefully nearing fitness but if we are honest not good enough right now

Theres a lot of talent playing in holland/belgium at the moment, they also tend to be cheaper than their big league alternatives. Its not rocket science to believe that our transfer comittee is seriously looking at that area

In all honesty Im a high voltage engineer. I do my best to keep your lights on.. In the south that is, couldnt give a **** about london tbh

If we had an oppurtunity to improve on Pellè I would do it as I have no major confidence in Jay Rod or Long covering Pellès abscence for any stretch of time

Im a traffic warden in the london area, I like to top up my wages by selling cookies at masonic lodges

I quite like the look of delle ali at MK Dons personally

I have had it since Xmas, and TBH I find it pretty dissapointing. Barely played it at all. Im not really overly enthusiastic with Destiny but I seem to keep picking it up instead, for the money I find COD pretty boring this time round

Yup, its terrible being 3rd in the league and seeing exciting players mixed with homegrown talent....

Not just us he has lacked composure with then...

This, young Harry Reed has undone much of the damage that would have resulted in losing Cork IMO Allow him to become a regular somewhere else as it wont happen with us

I think he is fully aware of it adrian, I cant say I know what state of the FFP is or whether or not signing a proven goalscorer would impact the signing of Toby or Ryan but Im afraid believing that Jay, Elia or Manè could fill in a Pellè shaped hole is a little short sighted IMO

It is indeed, there isnt a lot in it but for me I dont see that Lukaku has moved on much from his West Brom days. Decent player but needs to affect games more, far far too inconsistant for me. Ive been banging the Benteke drum for ages now, in a decent team he will be a machine

I would argue Benteke is better player than Lukaku never mind Pellè, obviously quicker than Pellè too, hard to judge hold up play and ariel prowess but surely he isnt much difference there As for coverting chances Ive seen enough to think he is better than Pellè who struggles there imo. It doesnt help that Benteke plays in such a poor team, given half the chances Pellè has had this season Id say he would've converted a lot more

If we can get an improvement on Pellè than that would be the obvious choice, someone like Benteke. Yes he will be expensive but a player at that level would all but complete our team imo We need to bring in someone of some description though as we will be very lucky to complete the season without the loss of Pellè who is integral to the way we play and unfortunately has no obvious back up of any quality

If he wasnt a saints fan there wouldnt be this clamour for him. He isnt a natural replacement to Pellè, he could potentially play wide but we have Jay Rod, Ellia, manè and Tadic. Besides, Burnley would want a reasonably high fee for him considering the pressure of them avoiding relegation. Theres better out there that would actually be a reasonable back up to Pellè and so would fit the way we play

Anyone that wants to vote greens needs only to talk to anybody living in Brighton. Definate bonkers Im not entirely sure the Tories have anything to worry about, Lib Dems have shown themselves to be an even more non-vote then they were previously. The greens ? Well, we all know about them. Ukip show themselves to be thin on the ground politically and even more absent minded when you spend any amount of time listening to them. Labour is their only real competitor really, which is a scary thought as anybody that employs Diane Abbot or even worse is fronted by Milliband is on a hiding to nothing. As a party that is suppose to be, for the people, they are so far away it isnt true.

He was in Cafè parfait in town friday

Brilliant article and surely shows the importance of Reed. Funny how those that commented on the progress made by the club under Reeds leadership were shouted down. That the bloke was a failure etc etc and that nothing could ever function unless under the complete autonomy of the manager. Like Steve, and Neville have said, its obvious this is the future. You only have to look at the constant upheaval of clubs such as QPR that it is not a sustainable model to allow managers full power to change. I think the problem with us as a country adopting more DOF is that many managers, or even some DOF out there dont understand the role.

What a time to be alive !!

Didnt I hear that Townsend was off aswell ?
