Hatton Cross or Richmond.

I thought the transfer window was already open?

The Egyptian Nesta.

Anyone else slightly worried at the fact that the nucleus of the squad will be kept together according to that article? I would say the nucleus of that squad isn't good enough! IMHO taking the above into account, we need: 2 x CB (if Yosh is leaving) - one leader 1 x WB for each side (with the probable loss of Bertrand and Cedric) 1 x AM 1 X CF This is working on us keeping 3/5 at the back.

We'll get around 25 for him, 35 for Bertrand.

Well, that's a whole lot of nothing. Still know nothing of the Gao's real intentions, and investment in the club. That is very worrying. Shurlock, are Chinese investors generally quite private people (ie. Don't see the need to justify actions as its their money etc)?

Not completely true - apparently we kept Cedric against his will and also Bertrand, but they were happier to put their head down and work. The interview just says to me that we will no longer stand in a players way, like we did last season.

Glad to see Blackmore asking difficult questions - I've been critical of him in the past for not doing it so have to give him praise now. Looks like we're going back to buying and selling - which worked in relation to league position, but was soul- destroying for fans...

**** this, I'm off to Dubai to play golf. Have a good week lads and ladies.

I'd like to see a proper investigation into this ****.

Too difficult...

Ask and I shall provide...

I'll probably get shot for this, but I at least felt that Lowe cared...however misguided he was.

Why, we would if this was us?

Especially as he borrowed against the club being in the Premier League...

Gallagher, Hesketh, Sims next season at least...

Hoedt would probably be OK with a decent partner. **** knows why we don't go 3 at the back when we're this poor defensively.

Don't dwell on it. Championship is a decent league.

That's the point, we should have sold him in the Summer and replace him, and bring in other players. Reed should be ****ing shot.

Get a sense of humour? It's only football.

No, not selling him in the Summer and replacing him was the problem. But we got one over on Liverpool by hanging onto him for 6 months.

I'm not sure that's true, Lemina, Bertrand, Cedric etc will get decent moves in the Summer despite being ****e.

People can't expect commitment - the players are sold the club on the fact that the club is a stepping stone. Why would they be committed, especially when they see the lack of investment in the team.

3-5-2, yes, but not 4-4-2.

Our fans are gutless. If they'd had the guts to do this when it really mattered, around Christmas, we may not be in this mess.
