Good idea i am thinking of a ransom note

Dear Ray

Send a message to soriano from letters cut out of a newspaper. "Sign VVD or you'll never see txiki alive again."

Soriano would probably write back saying "cool".

I just don't get why we keep mangala. This makes no sense.

Lol. It's because of foreign slots in the squad. Do the maths.

Dear Ray

watching him sat at Wembley as Hull were wining the challenge cup. Did make me wonder where we would be now if his consortium were now in charge.

Don't think that's the issue. Doubt we'll sign two foreign players this week.

There's better players to fill the quota than Jonny Evans...

Of course all managers / directors of football make mistakes. However Txici has made quite a few regarding defenders since he arrived. Playing this current 3-5-2 system seems to exclude Sane and sterling from the side which takes a lot of our attacking threat away. I still dont think he has found his best team / system which I find frustrating. People say he is asking the players to play multiple systems and be flexible during the game. I would rather get a way of playing sorted first. As it looks like the players are unsure and its damaging their confidence.

With the benefit of hindsight, I can confirm Pep realised the mistake of not having a genuine left back as back up to Mendy, as Mendy seems to have made a more miraculous recovery than Lazarus!

BUT, like I've been saying, Pep has learned from his mistake & is continuing to learn an adapt to the toughest league in the world, which is no mean feat..... Again with the benefit of hindsight, as Wenger how tough & unforgiving this league is, even for its longest serving manager, never mind one who took over a totally broken team a little over 12 months ago.

You have noticed we do see a fair bit of Manchester Utd ?

Just to add: we have probably watched him at least ten times as often as Pep has.

I'm sorry mate, but my hatred for ManUre runs so deep, that I can only bear watching them when we play them. Do you make a habit of watching them & analysing their players?

That's the spirit.

Wheras I will pretend he's ok if he does sign (until I finally crack).

youre just a old softie

Seems a bit bizarre,if true.

Though tracked hard by Inter Milan, French international centre-back Eliaquim Mangala (26), likely to leave Manchester City again, is in talks on a trade to West Bromwich Albion, possibly in a swap involving Jonny Evans' move on the other way around. Former Standard Liège, Porto, and Valencia player's annual salary request amounts to nearly 4 million euros.
