    Thanks DTLW, I'll be very impressed if we can shift Hoedt too.

    Would've been curious to see what Gabbiadini looked like with a real run at his natural position, playing as a wide forward. At the same time, that position is now occupied by Redmond, so he wasn't going to get that chance here. Hope he sets the world alight and we recoup some of the cost in the summer.

    He was a starter for Puel until he was injured and Claude got the push, so think unfair to say he was passed over by him

    The trouble shifting Hoedt is that he thinks he should be playing for Man City when in fact he is better suited to Burton Albion

    And if he had been playing for Burton last night they would have lost 13-0

    I'm surprised that most are saying all the managers we got rid of were bad..........I'm of the opinion that most were misfits to the type of players we have or had!! Sparky deserved a go as reward for keeping us up.........Although in truth we should never have been in that position in the first place......Hind sight is a wonderful thing though isn't it?
    The truth is though we should never have let Pochetino or Koeman go when we did. At the very least we should have made them see out their contract and given ourselves time for the right replacements without having to rush into things. Letting them go early as we would get a couple of mil compensation???? That is sad and IMO very bad management.

    Permanent deal sounds preferable.

    Mainly agree. Puel got us to a top half finish and a cup final and is doing similarly well with Leicester. His downfall was the quality of football. MP2 is probably a decent coach but never really had the chance to build his own squad and seemed to just reinforce Puels possession style football. As for Hughes, he is definitely a good manager but just seems to have lost that 'spark(ie)' that motivated players (and fans).

    As for MP1 and RK, I think the club did the best they could. MP1 showed loyalty by staying a year after Cortese left but gave good notice of his intentions so we could plan for his replacement. With RK I think he considered himself bigger than the club and would have been quite happy to stay another year if everyone ceded power to him. That was never going to happen. He must look back though and realise he screwed up because his career and reputation went rapidly downhill from there. That Christmas tree fiasco at Everton was soooo funny.

    Back to transfers, the Lookman rumours seem to be gathering weight. Reasonably excited by that but is not the out and out striker or CB that the fans are looking for.

    It's clear the board are really backing him in this window with 2 out already.

    If the board backing him means 2 players leave, imagine if they really backed Ralph and sold the whole team. :)

    It's a bold strategy but I like it. Let's go for it.
