We shouldn't be going down, it's a lower mid table squad IMHO. Overrated shelvey, Carroll, Atsu and Elliott by my reckoning but they are squad players I'm hoping. Schar may be our best player, which is a bit worrying. Going one of thread front three impress otherwise we'll just be a team of plodders.
Colback hahaha ha. I bet ginge thought he was totally making a comeback after nasty Rafa left and his old buddy Brucie came back...nice to see that ain't happening, begone, carrot topped waste of space! I can't believe Lazaar is still here, he'll probably see out his contract cos no one will offer him decent money anywhere else. Aarons I assumed had died of a broken fingernail or something. Begone "wonder kid", you made Haris Vuckic look like a good prospect. Sterry presumably we're still developing,, we've gotta loan him out. Saviet is the odd one out there, as he looked decent when he played.
I once had an argument with a mate when Aaron’s came on the scene that he was better than sterling. Wow was I wrong.
