    Most of our fans can't name a first XI due to 'Asset Stripping' also!

    It's funny; I've seen asset stripping mentioned a lot in jest, but where are the people who actually mean it?

    I can't be arsed to check, but it's been suggested quite a few times that both new signings are big upgrades and that we'll be in a good position to probably finish top 6. Someone even started a thread saying it - it's an extreme minority, but there are definitely a few.

    So many on here after Lambert went. And all over Twitter. Most have calmed down now but there's lingering feelings in the bedwetters.

    Anywhere between 8th and 12th for me. No way we'll break that glass ceiling this year. But, with players like Wanyama and Davis in midfield, we won't be near the bottom 3.

    Oh yeah, but just wait until the meltdowns on Facebook and Twitter when we don't get Europe. We do have a lot of crazy people.

    Following on from this there is apparently a clause in peoples contracts called the "force majeure" clause which basically means that if there is conflict in a country they can leave their contract at no cost. I could see a lot of the foreign players playing in Ukraine taking this up if it is indeed true, could be some bargains around for somebody.

    Better than the rarely-seen droit du seigneur clause in player contracts.

    Damn, looks like we missed out on Davies and that he is off to Tottenham.
