You say that.

9 months ago he talked about nearly being a southerner and finishing his career here and look how quickly the tune changed. You talk about tail wagging the dog, well don't give it a chance. Give this no oxygen and take a hard stance on it. Bitching to the press does not get you sold.
So what's changed in 9 months?

1) his mate has gone (the manager was ok with it) and earns more than him
2) people responsible for bringing in players (Hitchen, Poch and Levy) haven't brought anyone yet.

If #2 is driving this Poch won't let him back in. If it's more #1 Poch has a chance to repair it. But what makes me think it's a done deal is the following

- bringing up the fans treatment of him
- talking about himself as being not useless before Poch arrived

Does this guy forget how bang average he was and only want to remember how good he was just before this injury?

You're too emotional over it. Need to calm down and think logically.
We gain nothing selling him, we gain a lot more keeping him.

It instills respect and fear in the dressing room. A clear sign that we rule the roost not you. Bench him for a period upon return to further instill discipline into the group.

Shaw won't be sold, so we need to get those ideas out of our heads, if he'd said this a month ago it'd have given a chance to go in for Mendy but not now.

His agent is his uncle and it's also Walker's agent. I'm inclined to believe point 1.

Is it really his uncle? They have a stable of players including Lennon and Walker who've fallen out with Poch.

Gotta love Poch!

18 months ago he wouldn't have stood for what Rose did but that just shows you that Poch is learning and improving with not completely writing players off. It was a strength and weakness at the same time previously. Now he picks his moments better similar to SAF in some ways where he'd write some off for X but then for others would have a different apporach and we all saw how well that worked at Utd!

Di Maria or Pastore both play in the position we seem to be wanting to strengthen the most. Both attitude queries over them though right?
Di Maria attitude plus wages, so lol

Pastore who knows, we wanted him years ago when he was still at Palermo. I reckon Roma will get someone like him if he's shipped out.

If Pastore comes in for cheaper than Barkley that's a great effort. Hopefully something comes of it doubt it though

We had a bid turned down for Anthony Martial.

If we could somehow get Sessengon I'd be happy to give them Rose for Martial. What a signing that would be!

  • Woolwich wage bill........£195m
  • Chelsea wage bill.......£224m
  • Liverpool wage bill.....£208m
  • Man City wage bill.....£198m
  • Man Utd wage bill.....£232m
  • Spurs TURNOVER...£210m


We're doing very well given our limitations to other clubs, that said, the new stadium and its revenue is sorely needed if we wish to keep up long term.

what an awful first half that was

dont know how poch fixes it tbh, is it the system that needs changing or the players? if its just the players sissoko and dele are the two who've looked worst out there so maybe Son or Janssen for them.

if its the system kwp off and sissoko moves to rwb and we bring wanyama on

Good 3 points. The Son-Sissoko sub was the beggining of life being brought into the game. That was sissoko's chance i think and his papers are stamped now. Just doesnt suit our style whatsoever. Son didnt do a whole lot but his movement and link up play makes the other attackers so much better. Lamela is the same and hopefully GKN with game time can go down that path too

Tim Sherwood called him the runt of the litter and didn't think he'd make it

The kid is destined for greatness on that last bit alone!
