I don't have a problem with Reed as we bring some good players in. Just need someone good to manage them like Koeman and Pottychino did. plus stop selling players to Liverpool.

I think we all gather this from the many rumours in the last few weeks. Puel knows he's on borrowed time and IMHO Reed knows this too. Once again we have to trust Reed to bring the right man in and don't take a stupid gamble this time.

Heard they are selling tickets in Poundland.

Sorry to hear your ill m8. Btw you could not pay me to go

No thanks. Spoke to a great Leicester fan recently and he said it was the assistance that got the players buzzing not the manager.

A manager is everything. So often you see things in every sport where teams become a force behind one great leader. I have only listened to one Puel interview and that alone was ****ing boring. The players must be going nuts when they see him every day as he is dull and painful to be around.

Also I read somewhere that if you take away the 3 games where we scored 3 goals in a game at home that leaves us with something like 7 goals in the other 14 games. Thats pretty ****.

He he did well with Pottychino, Atkins, Koeman and Pardew. Not sure he deserves to go on this average manager choice. I personally think he should stop selling to Liverpool no matter how much they throw at us and try to build a good first team.

Would be happy to play Sims, McQueen, Hojbjerg and Pied on Saturday as it would be nice to mix it up and hope for a goal.

If this did happen then you would think it would be all over the Chelsea forum.

I think it's more about the development for the future. If one is stopping a promising player then we will sell them at a price.

I don't ever recall selling one of our star in January. Reed likes the big deals in the summer and I really do expect VVD to stay one more season.

Seen a video of Virgil running again but I'm not sure what benefit it will have for us this season?

Shame he lacks the punch we need up front for corners and free kicks.

Could be right. I think Cedric will go myself and Pied looked good in the one game I saw.

I expect you are celebrating it like the way you did when Gabbidini scored his second at Wembley.

We have sometimes done things quietly and I would love it that the club surprise us one more time. I know I'm clutching at straws but this would give us fans the greatest pre season lift since Marcus took over.

Totally agree with all this. whats the point of making them sign a 5 year contract and them leaving after 4. The ball should be in the clubs court not the player.

All we need now is for Les Reed to announce he is a great Liverpool supporter and that he is doing everything he can to help them win the league.

Plus Cortese would not sell half of a good team to Liverpool.

If it was going to be another interested party then I expect it would of been leaked by now especially if it's going to be completed in 2 weeks time.

I think one of the weaknesses Puel has is a plan b. His substitutions are like for like. Jayrod comes on Long goes off, Boufal on, Tadic off and so on. mix it up a bit as we are predictable.

Was the other one 'We are Southampton we don't need to score?' clever songs against a team I hate.

Players are becomming too demanding these days.

I reckon we have a chance. Listened to Wenger this morning on talkSPORT and he said 'It's important we keep the gap between us and Saints to 10 points.'
