Couldnt give a sh*t who is responsible, but with just over 2 weeks to go it is up to our club to say "Enough" and move on. And if we are talking about the predillections of posters, "good old SOG" for keeping up his stalking / twisting routine.

I remember a reporter in one of the papers once describing the Australian cricket team as a venomous snake; you dont take your boot off its neck until the sun goes down and its stopped wriggling, or it will jump up and bite you again. Personally would like to see Warner's and Johnson's faces ground into the wicket after all their smug smart-arse trash talk either side of Lords.

And you are back with that obsessive cliche of yours, I note.

Lets move on to other targets and get our defence settled. This pussy-footing and p*ssing about could still very well lead to nothing.

Need to stop p*ssing about with VVD and get a quality CB in to settle the defence.

Australia 136-4, trailing by 185. Looks like a 2-day finish at the moment.

I am just glad we didnt get Astra. English teams dont do well against Romanians.

Top bloke.

We arent going to get him, are we ?

good post.

If he goes to Spurs to be with Pochettino it will be the same stupidity again - going to be with a manager he likes so much. If he really wants to get the most out of the twilight years of his career, and looking at who is enquiring, hes definitely better off with Pulis and WBA.

The Schengen Agreement needs to be suspended until this is brought under control. Then the EU needs a sensible discussion about how to share the asylumn seekers; even I can see that the original agreement that applications can only be permitted in country of landfall is unrealistic (it massively benefits us to the detriment of the Med countries). It will take months, if not years

I also thought inner city yoof project when I saw it.

I am guessing Rcikie will think about it as carefully as he thought about the Liverpool move... ...which wasnt very much, it seems

Thought Claus was safely tucked up in bed by 2100 back in Norway nowadays ?

That would be a disaster. I really wonder if the managment think they can keep pulling rabbits out of hats indefinitely.

Hope Jordy coming off was a precaution. Great performance, really pleased how it went. Worried about how we are going to get Big Vic to extend his contract. Another disruptive summer beckons, I fear.

How can football fans have so diametrically opposing views of the same player ? I regard this as being a squad signing and will be worried if he is first-choice. But I am hoping he will make the most of the opportunity to improve this year.

Utter b*ll*cks. I wrote it once.

Definitely had their fingers burnt by Toby, the lying scheming c**t.

I wonder if the club prefers a straight-up honest fight for the player next summer if he proves himself this season, rather than a buy-out clause full of loopholes ?

Well, he does play in Sweatlyland. But if the talents there, no-one better to knock the edges off than Koeman.

Happy with this as a load with option to buy; gives him a chance to prove himself and dispel the bad memories of last season. Still want a marque signing as first choice partner for Jose.

Tired cliche. People reach (and sometimes exceed) their limit of advancement all the time in business

Thankyou for having the balls to start this. Maybe without my name hung on the OP it wont get so short shrift. I also think there is an air of complacency around SFC these days, based on events from last summer. The fact we dropped off 2nd/3rd to 7th due to not enough squad depth seems to have been airbrushed out of history, let alone the fact we havent even fully replaced what we've lost this summer. Soares and Juanmi are good, exciting signings, and I am optimistic about Claise. But Martina does not fill me with enthusiasm. We look strong attacking, but weak defending. Our success last season was based on having the best defence in the PL. The loss of Toby is a MASSIVE blow. And we only have the optimists word that we are well on the way to replacing him. Who knows if Stekelenberg is an adequate stand-in for Forster ?
