He isn't, Tom is just a WUM.

£30m for bertrand in this market tbh.

Bristol Rovers vs Swindon is far bigger than our U23's vs some 3rd tier relegation contenders that are about 5years old as a club. They need to get some serious perspective!

Honestly, of the people on this forum who are associated with the club, you pick AR 10 as one of your two ITK's

Lol. Pretty embarrassing come back Glasgow. Given that it doesn't say which year its for, incorporate wages, nor account for net spend. Why do you humiliate yourself like this? You used to be at least competent at trolling... Now I may as well just ask the local schoolkids on the corner...

It almost like fans look at our spend profile since we've been in the prem and think we finished top 8 for the last 4 years (3points off champions league under Koeman) because of our spend.

Quite.

Are you kidding me? The kid is lethal. And not only that, but he counts as home grown. They are paying £25m for the next big thing there. And in today's market, both the goals and profit they'll make on him will make it look like fantastic value in a few seasons.

Last season fans were moaning about awkward kick off times and matches being moved for TV (granted these were fans actually in the stadium). This year people have got the hump because we are on tv once in the first batch of matches. Got to love this place.

Puel to thank*

Yeah I thinks he's having a meltdown with all his personalities. There is definitely some Glasgow saint in AR10.

AR10 Not that he had much in the first place, but his ITK credibility has been utterly destroyed. I wonder if he'll create a new account for the transfer window deadline period. His current one is shot to buggery.

He actually reminds me of Antonio tbh. Pace and power, looks to get forward and runs into the box. Not much to write home about technically. But then we have a squad of technical players and not much power and pace. I like him.

The season before we finished 6th and 3 points of champions league - way ahead o Everton. Last year they spent a small fortune and could only get 7th. We have better players than them but appointed a worse manager. lets see how the new man manages... All this money Everton have been spending is purely to catch those teams above them. We were one of them, and we had a bad season. Everton will have a disrupted pre-season and are building a side out of mid table and relegation level teams. When Liverpool did that they finished lower, keep that in mind.

Calm down mate, MoPo play high tempo pressing with Lambert, Davis and JWP, so I see no reason why MP can't do similar if he chooses to. It will probably suit PEH and Claise tbh. Both are mobile players, one is combative, the other is a head up quick passer. Both will fit that style.

How is this saints related?

Calm down. I don't anyone has said he is the fat korean guy's dad

So. This year, Les says that no key players are leaving. Do we all believe him?

Please ban eelpie for trying to sensor free speech on the interweb. Thanks.

No, he means Vieira It interesting isn't it. AR10 said that the new man would be in and possibly announced today. Yet other ITK posters are saying that we are interviewing another manager today, and interviewed Vieira 2 days ago. I am inclined to believe Forester and Manji as they are reporting information not currently in the press.

So repeating what is already in the press in that it will be announced this weak?

Les has hired Koeman and Puel. So at best, he is on a 50% success rate. And a lot of people would argue he got unduly lucky with how Koeman turned out. Add to that the fact that we completley lost Poch under his watch. I think it is very much a "head in the sand" mentality if people do not seriously look at Les' role if he we have another bad appointment this summer. Thats purely an objective viewpoint. I personally think he will appoint a good manager and we will have a good season. Worth also pointing out that the main reason we are in this mess is because the fan's turned on Puel IMO. And we turned on Puel when really he was failed by the board with regards to playing staff and transfers. I think you can definitely argue that Puel's failures are Les' failures also.

They were removed from the club.

I would actually be rather excited if we went for him. Frustratingly he'll be gone to arsenal within 2 seasons if he does well though.
