    Does suggest he ought to score more. Top for chances created by a MF, but only a poor fourth for goals scored.

    Interesting analogy, but I don't think that KL does gamble. Is it not possible by shrewd purchases and organic growth to build towards CL over the next two or three seasons? That sounds more like her style.

    The investment in the training facilities is massive and we have laid out a lot on players for a team of our size, so I think the Leihberrs (M and K) have been extremely supportive. She is showing a lot of interest (quite frankly, we can't get her out of the place) and wants to involve the fans more...not a lot to dislike really. Our income has increased greatly in the last few years, but there were losses in the previous seasons. I'm expecting a decent amount of money for MP to spend, but we are not Chelsea or Man City (and I don't want us to be). 'Slowly, slowly catchee monkey' is more our style.

    Think they mean chances created for other players! And fourth out of all midfielders is pretty good isn't it?

    (it might be include chances for himself as well but they are going to be a tiny minority)

    Hadn't considered that. When I said a poor 4th, I actually meant that the 3 above him were a lot better...I worded it poorly...4th is good.

    maybe he's only fourth on goals but top for chances created because he is more of a team player than the 3 above him on goals scored?

    Actually 69 chances, but only 6 assists is a pretty damning indictment of the quality of finishing in the team!

    Just read that again and I can scarcely believe I am saying this Echo piece seems a totally sensible article regarding the future and spells it out. If we can continue the progress forward then the players will stay. I don't think that means that they expect silly money to be spent this summer, but good strategic strengthening to be assured that the project is still on. Has anyone showed Katherina the DVD yet?

    Been trying to find some pictures of the proposals, but I can't remember which HDD I had them on. Can't quite find the right thing on Google either. They've been on these threads several tiimes though.

    Christ, can you imagine how many assists he'll get when he's putting them on a plate for Suarez and Sturridge?







    I'll get my coat.

    Was it five minutes ago, or is he technically still 25 for a few more hours..? :)

    Incidentally, I'm listening to talksport on their listen again facility. Specifically, the 16.30 - 17.30 slots for Thursday. Blimey, Greg Dyke got chewed up by a very angry, Adrian Durham. Darren Gough made an extremely good point about managers as well. An unusually good listen. You can even cut out the adverts.

    I was posting on not606 about it at the time. One of the best things I've ever heard on talkSPORT.

    I know. It's what attracted my attention and why I'm listening still. Cheers DTLW.

    Every person who is commenting is absolutely incandescent. The Football Combination [old reserve league, pre-premier league formation] has been talked about. A perfect solution in my opinion. Just heard the Stevenage manager and he covered a lot of talking points.
