sell pienaar (4-5m) and howard (5-7m to MLS). that would give us 20m.

others on here call that showboating as well. i really don't believe it is. he's just trying to make a play and moving the ball around. i doubt he's thinking "mirallas is open, but my woman is gonna think i'm slick if i just do this".

yeah he started out wide, but he was in the middle all night, first half he was excellent, second half he was still good. yes those runs are amazing! sure they don't have end product now, but he's 21. 90% of the premier league can't do that in their best form, and he can. he had a couple really great passes in the first half that would have been assists if Rom and Seamus had connected.

Lukaku.

need another CB for sure, distin hurt, alcaraz hurt, bring up browning and sign another. also would love to see a winger signed and another loaned.

matt i don't know what you're talking about, barkley was excellent today. some of those runs were amazing, and who else was driving the ball forward besides lukaku? great match, wished we could've put that last corner in to win, but i'll take the draw and replay, we're still alive in the FA cup. hopefully this has turned the tide for the lads, we spent the majority of the match in their third attacking, so let's hope we get back to that against man city.

5 blues, no one gets collins, and Joel misses near post. FFS

even robles is looking good tonight

rom looking good today

barkley looking nice today. he would kill in the box to box with all those driving runs. we can dream can't we.

haf your inbox is full tried to send u one

barry looks good so far

not happy with barry in, barkley on the wing, and no garbutt. oh well COYB

No thanks

Agreed mike. And I definately shoulder some blame to RM, bad tactics (I want the 433 back), rushing players back from injury to get injured again, and bad subs. But I shoulder most of it to the players. Coleman in light of last season has been very pedestrian, Howard fell off so fast after the WC, jags was rusty for the first 12 matches or so, and distins finally past it. 4 of our back 5 is playing bad, Baines the only solid one. A healthy stones and firing jags, Robles playing for a spot or a new keeper, and Coleman re-finding defense could go A LONG WAY for us.

Then go answer your original question yes he will leave. No players coming in means they won't challenge for the title or CL and he will want out. Their administration is so shady, fired the sporting director, puyol left, etc. plus he has the tax fraud case, it's chelsea or man city and that's just scary.

http://www.espnfc.us/rangers/story/2230080/rangers-reject-approach-from-phoenix-suns-owner-robert-sarver Wish Nikica was still here to comment on this. They seem to be run by idiots. In financial crisis, had to get an emergency loan, a guy comes offering free money to own them (owns other sports teams that are very successful) and they say "no, not enough money". Beggars can't be choosers. I hope they miss the cut and stay in the championship, maybe ole Stubbs Hibs will make it up

Liverpool? They must have given up on champions league for next year because with FFP they have already spent so much they will be sanctioned hard.

I thought they had the transfer ban. Or is that just banned players coming in, players can leave?

Thanks Haf for calming this down. I appreciate your posts as well Brett, you usually have some insightful things to say and I appreciate that you back the manager and players while some others are calling for their heads. Let's be civil lads, it's a forum, let's have some grace with one another. I don't have the Twitter unfortunately

I'll take a 22 and 14 striker anyday! Better than anything we've had in a long time!

Spurs and burnley with a replay

Exactly. Okay barkley in the spot he will own for his career now and get him acclimatized (there you go mike0). Barry can play cup games and Besic and McCarthy can rotate.

We get the winner of Bristol and Doncaster If we can beat west ham. Lovely draw, we really need to win now.

play 433 then and have 3 midfielders robles coleman stones jags garbutt besic barkley baines lukaku naisy mirallas sell mccarthy for a hot sum and we're off to the races. oviedo can hop in for mirallas.
