It surprises me that people expect a new coach to love the same players as much as the ones that signed them , he will have his own favourites and his own ideas what he wants from a player - whether it ends up right or wrong is what he is paid for , should he just ring Steve Bruce and Ask him who to play midfield every week?

Hes in essence taken over a team with a failed system
Madness would be to stick with it
Change is needed some popular players will be sacrificed along the way to what marco believes to be best for our team
I think the anti allam resentment plays a part in any uproar at any form of change

I agree, the same people who say phelan was blameless because he had a championship squad , are the same who think all our players are worth 20 million and should only be sold to Barcelona
 
You know we ended up filling our 25 man squad? Unbalanced yes, we need a couple in key areas. Not squad fillers of which we have plenty (along with injuries). We need first team quality. And that costs.

We filled the squad alright...how many of the following do you anticipate having an impact;

1. Allan McGregor
2. Moses Odubajo
12. Dusan Kuciak
30. Daniel Batty
31. Brian Lenihan
32. Greg Luer
33. Johan Ter Horst
34. Ellis Barkworth
35. Will Mannion
36. Greg Olley
37. Josh Clackstone
38. Harvey Rodgers
39. Ben Hinchliffe

Most of those weren't in our 25 man squad...

Of that lot only Kuciak, McGregor and Odubajo are in the 25 man squad list.

I'm not on about shirt numbers.
 
Let's contrast price tags.

Livermore PL midfielder sale price £10m

Cairney Championship midfielder valued by Fulham at £20m

We have undervalued Livermore and sold him on the cheap.

I don't necessarily disagree with the sale, but £10m? By PL standards that's **** money. Full stop and no argument.

why do people keep using the present division someone plays in as a barometer for price tag? 8 months ago Jake was in the same division as Cairney - does that mean they were valued the same then?
 
For what it's worth I can't see Snodgrass going anywhere unless it's a very good offer.

If we were willing to let him go for anything like £10m he'd be long gone by now.

Why do people keep referring to past divisions as a barometer for price tag? Shouldn't it be the current division and current division only given those 'Championship' players got us promoted to the Premier League. Therefore becoming Premier League players at a Premier League club.

Damn you noticed...still...

1. Allan McGregor - gone
2. Moses Odubajo - out for the season
12. Dusan Kuciak - 1 keeper too many
30. Daniel Batty - no experience
31. Brian Lenihan - injured
32. Greg Luer - injured
14. Jake Livermore - nearly gone
10. Robert Snodgrass - maybe going

I don't think 7 short isn't far off.

This I agree with, 10mil is quite low compared to some of the fee's you see for players that have only played Championship football!

Agree. Maybe it's 10 million for the club and 5 for the Allams

What's cairney's valuation got to do with livermores? Absolutely nothing.
