    Sell
    Cisse
    Cabaye

    Sell anyone we can make a huge profit on.
    Buy cheep replacements that might just be good enough to avoid relegation.

    :(

    Not feeling very optimistic today sorry.

    Remy and Gomis would be good. To be fair to Willo, he probably had his best game for us against Motherwell, he really does try, maybe a little more time and he'll get everything together.

    I'm already considering Cabaye and Cisse as gone.

    I really don't understand why everyone hates Willo.

    Not our best player but certainly not one of our worst. He puts in solid 7/10 performances in most of his games and has a little spell of bad ones.

    Saylor is better but he could have given away 4/5 pens last season due to handballs and stupid shirt pulling.

    Don't 'hate' Willo, just don't think he quite cuts it in the Prem. As 4th choice, then maybe. But would rather have somebody else to push for a first team place. Especially as Saylor often misses half a season and MYM is also one if our full ack options, we need another strong CB ahead of Willo.

    haven't heard anyone say they hate him Tash.
    as a bloke he's lovely, but as a player he's not good enough for us.

    My biggest concern is that with Tito Vilanova leaving Barcelona through ill health is that they'll come in for Pardew, especially after the 4-2 demolition of a very powerful Motherwell outfit where Barcelona representatives at the game couldn't have failed to be impressed.

    At least we will hopefully keep hold of JFK.
    Good to hear from you Jim, are the nurses keeping you bed bathed in all of this heat?

    That would be most pleasant, unfortunately I've been working like a galley slave for the past few weeks. In fact I'm off now and won't get finished until about 10 o'clock tonight....<ok>

    Why?

    If we were in the top 5 and where we hoped we'd be, then yes, but why isn't he good enough to be a squad player for us? We're a team probably pushing in mid table.

    Sorry, but he's not worse than most CB's in this league. There are several teams in this league who'd have will as at least 2nd/3rd choice.

    As long as he's not relied upon as first choice for a significant amount of time, he can be useful, and if we sell him it should only be if we get a replacement for him. He's not one of those players that we can just sell for the money like Gosling.

    And then what would we do if Pards insisted on taking our prized assets Shola & Jonas with him in exchange for that useless pair, Messi and Iniesta?

    Williamson is a nice guy but a liability. Just because he has a decent game in a meaningless friendly doesn't mean we shouldn't get rid of him.

    This transfer window demands Shola ****s off. He cannot be allowed to stay another season. If he stays it will be the final victory for stupidity over common sense.

    This would do me nicely:

    Out:
    Willo
    Gosling
    Obertron
    Shola
    Cisse (if he keeps playing up)

    In:
    Remy (if innocent)
    Gomis
    Sinclair
    Decent CB who an challenge Saylor & MYM for a starting place.
