    We get £6m for Pedro and another £6m for a player who was not good enough to play one game called Luis Suarez, not the Liverpool cannibal

    well I am referring to the americanization of the sport more than anything else.
    The players coming out one at a time, with personal introductions.....half time shows.....the usual BS we see in the NFL

    Nah, not unless we sign a decent keeper.
    Id like another centre back too, but a keeper is must for any title challenge, we aint challenging for **** with Sanchez between the sticks.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Maresca came in for Hermandsen... he's really good ... and we'd sell ... as Maresca knows (both)...

    The West London Sports paper which is marginally more credible than the other reports I’ve seen reckons it’s not happening but he’s undoubtedly a good manager. Dragged us from certain relegation to relatively comfortable safety in the first season. Fans loved him probably more than the results merited.

    He spoke a lot about wanting to play a modern, more ‘progessive’ style. Every time he tried to get us playing better football, playing out from the back etc. it went horribly and we reverted to keeping it simple. With better players it would probably work, especially in this league. I don’t have any ill feeling towards him but we’ll probably never know what really happened at the end here.

    Still, reckon it’ll be O’Neil anyway.

    Different player and at 23 he's probably only going to get better. Makes our fwd 3 very dangerous imo.

    Gordon Isak Elanga

    Dan Burn is going to struggle in training
