i was told today that Scott Sinclairs brother plays for us and is likely to be useful

trolling lol.

i didnt call you a sad fan, i said sadly. I was merely pointing out that fans who turn up whatever are the victims of the people who run football clubs. i have been one of those fans over the years and so im not on a higher plain.

Whether we as fansthe club got 8m or 100m means nothing if the team on the pitch suffers. We aren't spending the money we have had in already. If and I say IF we end up going down or in a relegation scrap it will be down to letting in too many goals.(each place down the league costs a fortune) Lovren was part of a very impressive defence,especially before he got injured you just cant find that type of player easily.We did it last time, I agree but as with 2 of our marquee signings it does not always work.

Lol the im a better fan line. I love those, there must be the follow up 'how many away games did you go to last season' or 'Did you buy the new kit' As for whining, it is whining if it's a different opinion to you. IMO at present the fans have been misled

I havent had a S/T for 3 seasons (including the current one) i wish I liked to pay golf, I prefer to hit balls and get someone else to chase it thanks

yep your choice,they just love customers like you who just take it and say nothing. Football seems to be unique with customers like that

fortunately we have the transfer money and the warchest to add to that which was promised to MP still to spend.....lol

exactly my point. Thats why the club can sell all the star players. We are mugs waiting to be milked.

I didnt realise he was that age, very sad. RIP

Lovrens value to our clubs defensive ability is impossible to put a price on. You may think we screwed them but I think the 20m is not enough for what it could cost us. We needed to keep Wanyama, Lovren and MS as that gave us a strong defence,especially as we look light upfront. IMO he was a leader and inspirational to those around him

Dont worry Robbie,the sneering from the sidelines doesnt make them look bright. Pol Pot got it right lol

sadly thats what the club relies on

you're overpaid

Until the Americans call it football and not soccer they should be banned. Their football should be called handball

Yep could be the case add wages as well.

yes we have other revenue streams, frigging massive ones but we still sold 90m worth of talent and spent little of it. Where is that going? afterall the wages and fees etc are now covered by the blanket 'we will spend every penny of the transfer money coming in' I would not be as condescending to you as to imply you dont understand of course.

Of course you can point to we are going to spend 90 over time. RK gave the impression in his interview and none of the media picked that it it wouldn't be here and now, but over years. Had he said over the years the headlines would have been much different and the fans would not have stomached it so easily, especially in the mood they were in. Using that RL could say he spent 10of millions in his tenure. So you can steady the ship and not spend 90m, they are steadying the ship by deluding the fans that they are doing both at the same time when they are not.

That's it, you explain, I moan lol. Yep get 90m in every season of transfer money and you become self sustaining, simples

yes we are tired of hearing why they went as well, and how the club failed to stop them. Who had the release clauses?

yep, lets hope the acadamy can get a stream of young players through who can hack it. No reflection on the past when we tired it as the lads then were under extreme pressure with the fans and club being in the doldrums of unrest and takeovers. it pushed some decent young players into the frame a bit too early. As you say if they come in and do well,we can still have that fresh English base to thrive on

None of course but I suppose it could be said that we already had the majority of our quality players for them to fit in with. We will see how it goes very soon. We face a tough test in the last friendly and then the games come thick and fast in the PL. Your faith will be tested then. it is crucial that we hit the ground running after Anfield, as there are potentially some vital games that could make a difference in the final weeks of the season

Wes the arrogance is the belief that those who are deemed patient have the monopoly on such virtues. As for some of our past problems I have been on the right side of that argument as it panned out. If Iam wrong on this then I will be a winner as our club is going to come out well. To strip the playing side and replace with loanees and players who have no experience of the rigors of the PL is really a risk. Yes a couple of the youth team may step in, but seeing a side based on an English core was quite pleasing and we were the envy of many. Now we are just the same as the rest,full of foreign players who may or may not cut it.

yes it seems arrogance also is a virtue given to you wondrous people Wes. Iam shouting into the wind, but RK has done such a good job few hear, or want to hear. We are now told that the club will look better than we were before all the sales,at present (I know we have 3weeks? before the window closes) I fail to see how. In time you patient ones will be able to point and say 'Look, those loan players will give their all to the cause and weren't you silly wanting to buy quality to replace the quality that has left' and in a seasons time 'Those loans have left and gone to higher climbs, we will be able to use the funds generated to improve and move on. Oh........'
