We need an injection of pace for that style. Pace scares the most accomplished of defenders, pace a skill is destructive. Finding those players is obviously the hard part.

Well if they have release clauses they don't need to give the board their position. The club that wants them just roll up and pay the fee. Perhaps some of the Shaw fee should be invested in paying a bit more in wages to appease, and then tell the players to honour their contracts for at least another season.Personally I would rather spend a large chunk of the fees in wages for the most important players rather than buy a lot of new faces.I do understand we will need some replacements but to have a nucleus of last seasons team and add a few would be preferable

Well I think the board did have a part to play as after the final whistle went at the end of the season Krueger basically said come and buy our players. The club then made the fudge of no decision til after the WC to try and appease but it seems patently clear that the deals were still being done. I do understand that Man U and Liverpool are massive clubs and am not too worried about LS and AL ,but as far as. I'm aware the players under contract can be told they are not for sale period and get on with it.

Where do. I say that those 2 wanted to go to Spurs. I also never said we would not lose any players, but had NC and MP still been in place the loss of the main spine of the team still kept. I have been cool about losing AL and LS, it is the likes of Lovren Wanyama and Morgan that I am more concerned about.

who knows? But Koeman may have a big enough ego/self confidence that he could rebuild. If the Metro story that we are going for Bentner (free) and Ings 8m then the 30m would go quite a way. They may be paper talk, but the Metro was spot on with MP and it's may well have links to Bentner

Turkish I can see you are part of the chosen ones who are being pulled along by the nostrils by Krueger and Reed, but Spurs are not one of the biggest clubs in the world and they may well. E taking some of our players as well as the manager. I agree N C did sell but when he did we were in a lower league and not in the position we are now. NC still here and I would expect. MP still here as well, Shaw would have gone as well as RL but I doubt most of the spine would still be happy here

MP was the catalyst for all this. Many on here were complacent about MP leaving, it was patently obvious the players loved playing for him and the moment we had RK and co giving mixed messages we were stuffed. Personally I still believe. That KL is looking to get back a lot of her investment. We will bring in 80-100m and spend 30. We are at the top of where we are going to be and now it is the fall from Grace. No club has ever lost the majority of the side and managed to stay where it is. A team of foreign mercenaries will not have the guts of fight

I would think we had lots of brownie points with the BUrnley fans as we bought Danny Fox

You weren't in charge of guiding the Malaysian aircraft that went missing By any chance Eric

We know Ings came on here to brag about it

Ffs have Liverpool also bought the old sheds from Staplewood? They do like our old sh## do t they

Go back and you will see that his flaws were pointed out,

now that is madness. No wonder Playboy models are trying to contact him

not IMO, he may prove me wrong but to do so he will need to learn when to pass and how to shoot and head the ball. Kissing the badge is well rehearsed though

If the Metro is correct and Bentner is an incoming I think he is building for CCC push

Killer, Anti but both were injured

Oh no, Iam trying not to laugh, that would be absolutely mad. He's on about 70k a week as well

I didn't want the deal to sound too classy, now you have ruined it

Why? You support Saints, you will get other heroes. The list of my heroes of the past who have left and saddened me is very lengthy. You get punch drunk after a time. I think the next player who kisses the badge should be booed as it is all bollix

that is consolation,when do I get my slice of the fee?

I think the last time we sold our star forward to Liverpool we spent a 90k of the incoming money on a Jamaican International

pretty disastrous for all

I worry that the inherent Dutch ego would go in anyway with the belief they know best. To build a team to compete from the start is pretty tough. To lose the English element who know the club and game here is another unknown

I do hope the medical doesn't include kicking a ball at any pace, if so ,!!!!

Lol if only
