Hutcho

He can be a cone for the rest of them to run around.

Errrrmmmmmm.... Yes :-D

Don't lie about it... B-)

Ok fair enough... Was getting weird as I assumed everyone must know that lol.

It honestly doesn't bother me as he is still one of the best left backs and unless we are gonna pay 10 mil + for another quality one then why not keep the great one we have.And if we bought a replacement that would cost us more than what his wages would cost anyway. Name me a left back as good or better who is available and cheap. I cant think of one (don't say luke shaw). He has great potential no doubt but is a long term option not a replacement for AC.

Clarke wasn't a manager of ours... Only an assistant. For me it is: Jose Rdm (Holy grail) Ancelotti Hiddink Ranieri Grant Avb Benitez Scolari

Great run from lukaku!

Lukaku winner coming up...

Some great news... It would have been madness for him to leave when he is obviously still one of the best left backs with no replacement lined up. Give him a year, if he performs well next year then give him another one. Now give one to super frank.

Bang! Benteke for vila 1-0.

Come on Lukaku... Smash them.

Most probably.

I know... Pardew's 8 year contract is looking better and better.

QPR losing would be nice...

Chamakh missed a sitter apparently accoring to kamara.

RIP

He wants torres... WOW. We could really mess arsenal up, give him to them on a free...

I can't see it being called off tbh and should be on like most PL games.... It would have to come down extremely heavily and constantly from now til the game... Could be wrong but its unlikely.

I honestly don't get the whole attitude that suddenly walcott is the key for them... He is much quicker than any player we could put in there, so if it comes down to a foot race he will win it. If JT was available and fully fit i would go JT and Ivan without a shadow of a doubt. But without him, Ivan and cahill is the next best and imo that is what we should play and not play Luiz at CB just because he is quicker than Cahill. If Luiz is halfway down the pitch in midfield it makes no difference how quick he is. Luiz can play in midfield a lot better than in defence. If i was playing fifa then i would 100% agree with you but for me our best defence available is our best defence and is what we should play.

If Torres starts then Rafa really is clueless.

Hopefully Ivan and Cahill with Luiz in midfield with lampard.

I think one of the best things about a new manager would be the instant uplift of the fans and our attitude... Which should reflect very positively atm. Right now we have a club that is split and a new manager that everyone supports would be a big first step. Now the obvious problem is who.... And that is where the major problem, lies with availability and most of the managers who we would even consider and next to impossible to procure mid season. May have to hold on with rafa and hope we can get top 4 then in June start a fresh.

I would be truly surprised if we didn't have another signing and we always end up getting someone on deadline day generally so with 2 weeks to go I think we probably will... But stranger things have happened.

Hopefully could lead us to getting Shaw.

Since when is a manager though, only able to implement 1 style of football... They do what they think is best with the squad of players... If laudrup came here then he would do what he think was best with the squad we have, nothing to suggest he would implement the exact same style of football as at swansea.
