  1. Lol another injury prone forward, lets get Sturridge as well
  2. of course he was sacked a large part due to the fans. Watch the EFL cup final again and see how good our team played. The difference was that we had a goalscorer who knew how to put the ball in the net. That changed everyones perception of the team. We created loads of chances but didn't have anybody to finish. A dull 0-0 draw becomes a good game if the ball goes into the net. The board not buying someone last summer to score was patently obvious to most on here. The same is happening this summer and the chicken is running back to roost.
  3. I suggest that fans at present would snatch peoples arm off for a top 12 finish
  4. Puel did wonders with the squad. After watching a re run of the EFL cup final where we were superb. The difference a goal scorer made to us. We have a change of manager who has to try and do as well as the last man, not a hope in my opinion.The spine of our team is poor and sadly it is going to be a tough season. Unil we find some midfielders who can add goals to the tem to take the pressure off the forwards we are in the mire
  5. All the replies to me are fair, but we are known as a selling club that allow players to prove themselves in the PL. If you all are saying no we are not a stepping stone club, then why are we fretting we VVD? the club have no reason to buckle and can wait for the window to close just like Liverpool will re Coutinho or the Italian cub with Kietha(spl?)
  6. The clubs mantra is to get players to sign for us using the stepping stone scenario. If we then are seen to stop these players to do so some players may not join us because of this. Should we have really believed that no player was going to be sold, as this breaks with our business model? The 6year extension of contract thing is to the advantage of both parties, as it gives a player more wages but gives the club a stronger hand in getting a better price. The big thing about selling VVD is that the fans are tired of us bending over to Liverpool again and perhas are misjudging the strength of the fans resentment to Liverpool and then in turn could turn on the board
  7. I will add that if there is no interest from any club and no offers are in why he is he causing this fuss. He must have some kind of contact with a 3rd party or he would not be downing tools.
  8. Nothing publicly
  9. I was listening to the Monday football cluband they mentioned Coutinho to Barca, and said how Klopp said no is no. Theythen said that VVD to Liverpool but didn't see the hypocrisy of their stand that Liverpool were right to stop him as it derailed their season, but never gave it a thought re us
  10. The club should never have said that no player will be going when they did, as it is patently obvious that they will sell by blackmail. We are now in a Catch 22 situation.
  11. I still don't get why we cant do that without selling
  12. no doubt they did, as they were never around when a labour party like the one now was in power. A generation that gets excited watching Love Island , Big Brother and the Kardashians shouldn't be allowed to vote, lol I find it amusing that so many think the Yanks are thick and then fail to look at our own society.
  13. Interesting about the Opera thing. I read somewhere about a scam that the people trick you to go into your computer regarding there being a virus on it. Nobody at that time could fathom why they sked to install Opera on to the computer whilst they looked for the bogus virus. It seems reading that it made it nye impossible for them to be traced when the fraud had been done
  14. I thought that as well, it would be good if Steve waved his sub as he really seems to have insight into the club. There again he may just like teasing us and might not post anymore
  15. I have always said he will be a good plyer for us. Yes he lacks pace but I don't think that has always been a problem. He hs been up against some pretty quick and decent attackers in his time. My only issue s that he doesn't seem hard enough and is a it of a girl when he gets a knock
  16. When did Dec sign for WHU??
  17. that is not the case
  18. I'm sceptical that VVD is now sold, but at the end of the day if he doesn't make decisions he shouldn't come out and say players are not going to be sold. Kruger also as they are influencing people buying s/ts on the strength of a full squad
  19. Hey Monk, put up that you also know that Coutinho to Barca is a done deal
  20. Can we have your autograph as you are famous on the internet now. You will soon be on I'm a Celebrity
  21. I'm not sure the board fully understand the resentment a lot of fans have to Liverpool keep taking our stars
  22. Oh dear. It is gong to be fun with the Scoucers coming on to tell us told you so
  23. I wish youd make your mind u what side of the fence you are on
  24. [quote=edprice1984;2516297 Also, despite peoples protestations, there are a few names being banded about - Roberts (from City); Bitton and Armstrong (from Celtic) and Allan (from Napoli). What would people prefer a West Ham style 'everything done in the full glare of the media'; Saints current style which is largely played behind closed doors or a mix of the two? Knowing saints we will sell VVD and roll out the ' we already have the replacement'
