If Real or Barca come a calling maybe , Bayern , Monaco and PSG as well presently are the only other sides with the money to afford his wages and transfer fee that he would entertain.
If we want to keep him the best way to do so is talk to his current beau and give her a big incentive to ensure she doesn't want to live on the continent at all.
There is no way upon this good earth that we wont be in the top 4 by the end of the season, what the hell has gotten into people on here at the moment it's getting ridiculous the amount of doom and misery
Its only an opinion Ducado,
I am not saying its done and dusted we will not and I have found any mooner yet that has said its a given we won't but in my case all things weighed up we have to look at the possibility and a realistic one of that in my view that we could finish outside the top four this year.
I completely agree mate. Top 4 is not a forgone conclusion by any means.
Last 3 seasons we have got into the top 4 due to two factors. The first is our standard of play and the number of points we picked up. The second is that some of our competitors imploded and lost the plot at some stage during the season.
Clearly only the first part of the above equation is under our control, and so far we are making a right fuck up of it. But let's assume we put that right and start to play home and away at something like the level we sustained in our title winning season. We are then still hoping/expecting/relying on two out of Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs falling away. This season, for the first time in a long time, that might just not happen. If it doesn't 4th spot could be right old scrap. Let's hope we are fighting it out for 1st, not 4th!
