Basically this. Though I would be gutted to lose Mane in particular and I think Romeu has not yet shown he could dominate a midfield in quite the same way as Wanayama. The thing is there is a very real difference between trusting the board and expecting them to throw money around. The board have good intentions for the club. They are not milking it or running it like a vanity project. Will we sell players we would like to keep? Yes, probably. Will the replacements come in and be instant world beaters? Doubtful. But year on year they, we, have proved doubters wrong. The league will be tougher again but there is no reason we can't add to our promising squad and be right in the mix again next season.

Potential, just been caught out defensively too often and our other options aren't great. Don't think anybody has written him off yet but not quite hit the heights - has the makings of a decent modern full back.

Give the lad time. He was a bargain for a reason and a low-risk gamble. If we can get him fit he could be a cracking player for us for a few seasons to come - if not - well, we tried.

Not sure why he has not seen more action (not ready to be a starter for sure but must have been worth more than 10 mins?) and quite liked him last season. Plenty of rumours have done the rounds about attitude/willingness to go out on loan etc. Personally hope he goes out on loan next season either championship or even league one and gets to be a regular in a first team to see if he can develop his game. The lad is obviously decent and has potential but does not mean he will realise his full potential or develop into a top class player.

The commentary/build up has barely even mentioned us, like we are there to make up the numbers. Much as I want Leicester to win the league would love to see us come back into this and rain on everyone's parade! Encouraging signs when we came back into it and I think we can consider ourselves unlucky to be behind. We have options on the bench and hopefully we will come up fired up - like to see Mane play with a point to prove after not taking that chance, a lot of our better stuff seems to come through finding him on the run or clasie picking out cedric in space.

Yeah if anybody knows the formation answers on a postcard!

Can't help but feel Pelle is the wrong man to be bringing on here with us maybe needing an out ball later on ... love to be wrong though Maybe tadic or mane on for austin later on.

Let's leave the mighty terras out of this

Similar sort of player, rumours are lots of big clubs are after him but money talks and could be worth a shout for next season should Mane go or not.

Had them in an acca, cashed out as I had a Spurs win on there too.

Sisto. Thought he looked lively against us and he's just put Utd to the sword. Sign the lad up!

Apart from a fair few more quid I can't see any team in England being able to offer him much more than Spurs currently. Not happy with how he left us in the lurch and allegedly unsettled the players but he is clearly a talented coach. Imagine his next move - should he continue on his current trajectory - would be outside of England to a top European side.

Gold and Sullivan make it very hard to like West Ham, both slimy little weasels, need to mind their own business! It's a shame as West Ham are decent club with some good fans!

Interesting line up, good to see Fraser back in, gives me more confidence.

Oh come now, you know I meant an equivalent, though Sharp was a class act it has to be said.

Did the job we needed at the time, no more, no less. Think we could do with same again.

Out of interest earlier I had a look and Bournemouth's net spend this season (excluding the agreed fee for Iturbe) is around 38 million while ours is the grand sum of 1. 1 Million. I'm not expecting us to throw money around and would love to see our vision of a sustainable club come true with academy gems filling the team but, for now, we are in need of short term investment to maintain our league status. That is exactly what the likes of Austin are. Short term buys to meet a clear need.

Sean Dyche, Karl Robinson, Gary Rowett ... would like to see our next manager be English and committed long term. We aren't going to get instant success so need to give somebody time, trust and the right structure to keep pushing up forwards.

What did Guly do wrong? Mayuka was a punt on potential that, fair, did not come off at all. Waigo was a loan, no harm no foul. Not saying the little Italian was perfect just don't think those are sticks to beat him with.

We could infer there is some difference between their two positions - again we can only infer, but it would appear Koeman wants to see more investment in the first team and the board are reluctant. I can't help but feel we need to make a few moves to turn us around and try to keep us out of a proper relegation scrap. I don't think anybody expected us to be in the situation we currently find ourselves and the board may have to invest or risk taking a massive hit should the unthinkable happen.

thank you

Anybody know of a replay clip somewhere?

Not the way he is going about his business this year.

Moot point. Stupid tackle left him team mates in the sh*t.

Like what exactly? Honestly?
