Unbelievable Jeff

There are no words.

All Spanish players have ridiculous minimum clauses as they have to have one in their contracts. Nothing to do with how much they rate him at.

It has to be a priority, although I think it depends on what happens with Jrod...

Everyone's replaceable. Surely last Summer shows us that.

How much would Benteke cost now I wonder..?

That's fine, as I've got us spending £1m less looking at that... Richards may be a good bet, but would have thought he'd be on very high wages.

I'm not sure I actually rate him...

Yeah, but that's the point, we won't get anywhere near to 30m for him because of that. 18m at best imo.

Only 1 year left on contract...

Ok, cool, for that much he's not worth it then.

Looks like Cliff's in big trouble as well...

So, the yearly football manager style thread is open. What do you think will happen this off-season, and who would you like to bring in (realistically). I am basing this on us qualifying for the Europa League. This is how I see it: Out Schneiderlin - £26m, £40k saved wages Clyne - £18m, £20k saved wages Ramirez - £4m, £60k saved wages Alderweireld - NA Djuricic - NA Elia - NA In Clasie - £14m, £30k wages Gignac – Free, £50k wages Trippier - £5m, £25k wages Nordfeldt - £3m, £20k wages Depay - £18m, £50k wages Van Dijk - £7m, £30k wages I know Depay is probably unlikely, but can only try. If not, we would need another winger/attacking mid. Who would you like to see?

Byram isn't that good yet, and certainly not to a Prem level. Trippier may be a better bet, or even ask for £10m plus Rafael. If anyone can get him defending better it'd be Koeman.

For me it's Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd, as I think it has a good message and ultimately will make everybody really tap their feet and feel happy... ...or if I really want to drag it out, Shine on you Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd. Any good suggestions?

Don't remember a lot of it being an 84 kid, but I love the music, and the cars.

To be fair you didn't get a V6 Quattroporte unless you're driving a **** 90's version... What's wrong with enjoying a car anyways Turks?

To be fair, you needed to save your fuel money for high quality oil with an RX8.

What year? You running a 6.3 v8?

The same refs that didn't give Saints a stonewall penalty at the weekend?

But I am saying the guidelines are incorrect. The same as Billy Sharp removing his shirt to show a message to his dead son. I don't think you understand that this is my opinion and at no time I have stated as fact that this is the guidelines currently available to referees.

Of course there's an argument, as I think it's wrong. Refs get blamed for not using common sense, this is one of those situations imo. If Barnes had spat in his face, I would also say the same applies.

Agree with Brian.

I think there should be mitigation as to what happened. Fair enough if he punched someone, but he only pushed him over. Should have been a yellow imo. No windup here. You're the kind of person who would have booked Bille Sharp for lifting his shirt when his kid died. Refs should look at the situation and judge what has happened.

I believe it is 'better' for your engine, but apart from that there isn't a lot of difference. I used it on both the performance engnes I had...

Clasie would probably cost circa £15m, but my word, he is bl00dy good.
