The Chinese chap clearly had a bet with a mate that he couldn't loose £100 million in less than a year by investing in a successful business he is clearly going to win the bet when he sells us to a Turkish llama farmer next tour for £50 million!

We don't have home and away ends we have an end so the noise from both sets of fans is diluted I always thought it was a shame the most vocal set of our fans decided they needed to be right next to the away fans so they could give it the look at how hard I am nonsense and spend half the game gesturing across the segregation and not watching the game. Besides the result last night is nothing to do with fans, it's a dodgy manager picking a poor team and setting them up to fail combined with players that have clearly lost any belief in him and his 'system' until he goes the club will remain in in a downward spiral. It's really sad that it has come to this but it feels totally like the last premier league relegation season we are loosing games we should be winning and throwing away leads the only thing missing was some dodgy wheeler dealing in the transfer window! The real question is will it be lemina or Hojberg who flattens a ref and gets a 10 game ban!

Relegated surely? We look worse than under Harry all we need is Callum davenport to come out of retirement!

Obafemi martins, taribo west, roger miller it's much harder these days as bone samples can be tested to prove ages and clubs are wise to that old trick! Back on topic shocking transfer window if we don't get a last minute surprise then it must be the worst window since league one days!

A young Lambert playing to the standard he did during his prem days with us would as you say be easily 50m+ players of that quality are so rare!

Thats a good call you should tweet him!

He's be mad to leave china before his contract expires surely nobody else will get even close to that cash!

No but Henry is, or is is Bierhoff, do Prado or Ruudi I can never remember....probably more likely Federico 'The Torpedo' Arias given our current signing policy!

19m for an impact sub yeah!

And what about the rest of his career? He wasn't even prolific in the poor aregentine league! You've found one stat that you are going to cling to while ignoring the overwhelming evidence that says he is meh let's see who is right at the end of the season!

Lol love this stat that everyone clinging too like that plank in titanic! he's meh just you wait and see!

Great a goal shy South American just what the doctor ordered for a relegation battle will he score more than Delgado?

Good luck to him still think he has a lot to offer hopefully some game time in a competitive league will see him return to us an improved player!

For me he's a step down from the absolute best, much like matt Oakley, if he was the next level up he'd already be gone! If we stay up he will be a quality servant of the club that we will miss when he's gone again much like Oakley!

Means nothing most of the money goes straight back out in wages the Prem might be the richest league in the world but that just means we have the richest players in the world every increase in revenue just corresponds to a bump in wages. Saints are paying players sums that were unimaginable even 5 years ago let alone ten and the top four are living in a different world the Sanchez deal is jaw dropping even in the current crazy climate!

Take it from first team debut to have any meaning which makes it much more interesting!

Bad luck and bad form combine to relegate teams from this league andcwe certainly have both! Still JWP scored two which has probably put a couple of million on the asking price. This season feels horribly like last time we went down!

THe scouting setup said he was a good signing in the first place!

Had forgotten about that still 50 goals in two seasons in Holland puts him in a much better light than this chap who has scored 13 in two seasons in France

lol another forward who doesn't score!

Great get that guy and Theo! I've wanted to see Walcott play through the middle for a team since he left us and I assume that wil be a condition on his return, he's still young enough and appears to have the desire to prove himself so I'd take him back he's got to score and create more than shane fookin long

Thats the great unknown, what will our new owners do? Will they suck up the costs? How well structured are the contracts we give to star players in terms of relegation clauses?

It's hard to be optimistic after the last mess, all those saying we could play x list of youngsters have a terribly short memory and should talk to some leeds/Shefiield Wendesday fans if they want to understand just how hard it is to get out of that league. Wednesday have splashed some serious cash and have still struggled to make an impression our youth team certainly won't be tearing up the league!

If all we want is a big lump tha doesn't score let's not blow 17m on a South American, we all know how those signings work out for us! What is Osvaldo up to at the minute....

Pelle scored goals throughout his career including his time here this guy hasn't scored heavily at any level including the Argentine league if he is the best we can get we might as well not bother.
