    In a myriad of slightly differing comments, I'd just like to say that this is spot on WS.
    Same as anyone else, if he's fit physically AND mentally he should play, but he can't stay as team captain without some sort of volte-face which I just can't imagine. Yosh is the man, Stevo and Oriel lead on the field by example anyway.

    Actually Stevo is de facto Captain anyway, but I'd give Maya some sort of recognised title. ;)

    Davis is club captain and Virgil team.

    Like SKD was right up until he retired.

    I'd expect so too mate, but you never know.

    We could have a brand new £25m number 10 by then...

    <laugh> We might. But in today's market, what would £25 mill get you?

    I guess for £25 mill we might be able to lure Charlie Adam away from Stoke.

    £20 mill for Arnautovic, rising to 25 with add-ons.

    And we only got £12 mill for J-Rod? <whistle>

    Do you mean we have been done with the deal. That would make sense.

    Any guessing where to and how much we will be reinvesting in the Boardroom soft furnishings?

    Monks not very ITK now as his contacts left the club a while ago. Not saying its not true but he has been wrong in the past. If it was K Billy or Guan I would be more inclined to believe it. If so, hope the fee is the £70 million the club have supposedly been holding out for. Today (28th July) is the latest we have ever sold a first team player in the last 3 seasons so could make sense!

    He said 'VVD to Liverpool is done - I'm told.'. That's it.

    Agreed, I'm a big fan of the board and what they've achieved for us, but this is just disgusting (if true, I must add!)
