150k a week? would be a shock move, and would signal to the shite they are now seen as not one of the big boys. hilarious.

what a squad! other than henen and robles, i'd love the look of that.

..................Robles.................... Coleman...Stones...xxxx...Garbutt ...........McCarthy....Besic............ ...xxxx.........Barkley.........xxxx... ...................Lukaku................... That for me. Might need another GK, but our weakest point is wingers without a doubt.

sterling has come out and said arsenal's interest in him is "quite flattering". the red shites have got to be going crazy over that. don't think he'd leave them for the arse, but its funny nonetheless.

lol

agreed dunc. you know it's bad when i can hear them screaming at him clear as day on a bad stream on the internet

villa and sunderland prove money doesn't mean success. money and good manager and commerical setup might mean success, but money alone does not. remember paulo di canio's big spend? all have flopped. he was canned, then poyet spent a bunch, and they still suck.

as you have said before haf, he is the CEO, he is ultimately to blame for hiring a crap manager. just like if roberto gets us relegated, it falls on BK as well becuase he hired him. Makis - you didn't get my point. my point is we spent 15m and got occaisionsal champs and europa league. they spent 100m and have spent that time in the bottom half of the table. money doesn't mean success. as pointed out by haf's personnel choices he showed.

exactly there's no one in there and he publicly put it up for sale, now it's just sitting there decreasing in value and stature while he doesn't care anymore. Makis - he put 100 million in and look what they are, didn't do any good if they are bottom of the table and get relegated or stay up to just fight for relegation every year.

wonderful. winners will get around 4m pounds now, and champs league gets 11m pounds. total outlay for champs league winners at 40m pounds, and europa total outlay if you win would be 13.3m pounds. great stuff! hopefully we can get back in either soon.

Makis Lerner is a joke. His father was great the original owner but he long passed away. He owned my local nfl team, once randy the son took over it went to shit lost millions and they couldn't wina game (sound familiar?). Yes and now villa has suffered the same fate. He's put them out to market and do you see anyone bidding there? None. So maybe we aren't attractive cause our stadium and business deals sure. But honestly as an American, I think most big money people just see it as second rate to Liverpool and they don't have the stones to go up against them.

Wow 34, I thought he was only 31-32. He's lost so much pace and like barry didn't have a lot to start with. Good bench player for next year and would love him to be around the young guys to rub off on them. Still have always loved his response when a reporter asked him about Liverpool "we didn't give a shit about the people across the park".

Right that's the point they had a white guy before and there were marquee coaches open that were a shoe in for the job. Then he came along and blew them out of the water and it was a surprise hiring but worked out. Difference here is the vast majority of nfl players are black so there are a ton more coaches. Also a ton of America is black, I think England is not like that. I agree it doesn't solve anything but it can help to get people in interviews that would never be given the chance since they're not part of the old boys club. The hire the best man argument is all good, but they won't hire black people because they don't think they're the best man. Racism is still alive and well in the world and although people say it's not and try and be above it, a lot of people don't.

Sell him and quickly for me. Love the guy and great heart but unless he's the striker he kills the attack. If we were playing moyes ball he would be fine. But technical football we need a number 10 and someone able to pass and run with the ball, not him. Plus get some money while you can, his value will only go down from this season.

Their point makis is there are no bidders. It's known we are available yet no one had come in with a bid. So don't throw BK out while there isn't anyone to come in. That's the main gist of the article.

Hart and courtous have some of the best defenders in the world in front of them, I'd love to see either play for queens park and see how good they are. Not saying they're not good just a good defense makes a keeper look good (see Tim Howard). Robles for me next year, spent some quid give him a chance.

in nfl they have a rule called the rooney rule. every team that has a coaching vacancy (just the major spots, head coach, GM, etc) has to interview and give a chance to at least one minority. some teams have ended up hiring said person when they didn't even plan on it. pittsburgh steelers are that team. hired mike tomlin cause he killed the interview and he won a super bowl and has been there for maybe 10 years now.

hahahahhahahahha, pad ole lad your best mate begovic is shit too. everyone saying robles sucks lets get begovic, he's terrible. get brad guzan, another american, in GK prime years and keep the US audience. percentage is decent on a shit team, imagine what he could do with stones and company.

I'm sure the players union would strike and call it unfair and have a work stoppage just like we do in the states. Is there a collective bargaining agreement with the FA?

Reminds me on robben. He's made a living off the cut inside left foot shot.

agreed, not sure what he has left but we are short in the wings.

more an indictment on the low quality of english players for me. germany, spain, france don't seem to have a problem fielding decent teams with lots of their own nationals.

how are the ukrainians doing?

wow really? that would be amazing!! just due to the new TV deal? maybe with all the TV deal money league position doesn't matter since it's a pittance compared to the TV money. not sure on that, feel free to correct. in that case we should definately look at foreign players since the FA ruling will have english players WAY overpriced. nolito for celta vigo, gerry, and let's blow the kitty on marco Verrati to be our playmaker can dream can't i

a friend had them on his PC and said the load time is insanely fast and it makes the computing experience a lot quicker due to no wait times. very reliable supposedely in regardles to durability and wear if you drop your PC or such.
