I don't consider £3m for a striker who got double figures in his first season in the Premiership, for a newly promoted team, a good deal. Fair enough, if he had that clause then obviously getting more than that figure is good (albeit very surprising - were Swansea feeling strangely...

Well, there's your mistake: where Liverpool fans are concerned, it's probably best not to follow conventional logic. Just know that history equates to the present, Tories are evil, Suarez is a victim and Gerrard is a deity. Oh, and it's always somebody else's fault. Accept these truths and...

Just count yourselves lucky you weren't treated to his musings on "integrity". That was especially galling when he left us in the lurch. No question he did a fine job with you, and despite our obvious animosity towards him most Watford fans can still grudgingly admit that he did alright with...

This all depends on the financial health of the club now, and it's been pretty quiet on that front for some time: Bassini is understandably keeping a low profile. If we're in a bad position, I can't see us getting £2.5m (which is about his worth, in this market, I would say). Surely we all...

Sorry, last comment meant to be in reply to LuxWFC's suggestion of a Graham Taylor Stand...

I remember when he was our manager (Watford): he gave public assurances he wasn't going to a particular club then went and left anyway, shortly afterwards. History repeating itself, sadly, and it now puts beyond doubt that Rodgers is a man of no integrity.

Absolutely agree. Although if we don't do this, there's always the option of an ironic fallback: how about the Graham Simpson/Mark Ashton/Gianluca Vialli (delete as appropriate/preferred) Stand?

Whatever you do, don't question his integrity.

I agree Chris 13, and take Fiorentina's points on board. Three games in is of course far too early to be lambasting a manager and it's also premature to start planning for League One. But it's not too early to spot patterns emerging and general problems with our game. Neither is it ever too...

I think it's pretty harsh to blame a forward for the way an entire team plays. Spurs under Redknapp are easy on the eye, even when they play Crouch. When Shearer played for Newcastle they tended to keep it on the floor, despite his aerial prowess. I could list numerous other examples of good...

There was lots of talk after the QPR game and plenty of faux contrition too. I seriously doubt any lessons have been learned and fully expect to see away fans in home areas plenty of times this season.

Can't say fairer than that roo, have one in return. My comment has also been removed, so the thread will now look nice and disjointed!

Norway, I was needlessly insulted the first time and Chris has followed that up with a needless dig of his own. Of course I'm going to respond in kind. If you care to read back Chris, you will see that it's not the difference of opinion I took issue with but the unhelpful and unwarranted (not...

Elixir, I would say that, at best, Mahon was solid during that period. Undoubtedly one of Vialli's best signings, probably his best in fact, but we all know that's not saying much. Like I've said, I'll give him his dues: he gave his all for the club and did some unfashionable work in our own...
