I would kiss Gil on the mouth right now.

French kiss?

I think i almost cried when that went in.

 

He can have whatever he wants!

I would kiss Gil on the mouth right now.

Sack the holy shit out of him. He has doomed us.

Got a laugh out of me with this one. 

I highly doubt he's sacked after this match. No way they bring in a replacement for the Chelsea match, that's just asking to continue under this dark cloud. We'll likely get spanked by Chelsea and then see a change. 

This has me boiling. Every single player that started should be ashamed.

Cissokho and Gabby should've started in place of Richardson and Andi and we should have parked the bus today. Arsenal beat us at our own game thanks to Richardson's pathetic excuse for footballing. 

Cancel his contract and send him home immediately. He should never be in a PL squad again. Wow.

Richardson wouldn't make Fulham's bench this season.

Wonder if he took a pay cut or if we increased his wages?

He most definitely did not take a pay cut. I can guarantee that. 

Richardson is trash. No other way to put it really.

We can't afford him, but Sanchez's teammate with Colombia, Juan Quintero would be an ideal number-10 for this club. He's amazing with the ball. His problem with Colombia, James Rodriguez plays his position. Still, Pekerman manages to use both "10's" on the pitch at once. He currently plays for Porto.  Check out his goal against Argentina (:45) at the South American Youth Qualifiers.

I like your ambition and eye for talent. With that said, this would never happen. 

Gil has signed for Villa, according to Wikipedia, lol

Source linked to the Mail speculation piece for today.

Okay, well he may well be but he sure as shit ain't shown it in the limited opportunities he's had to do so, imo

You must be watching the wrong team then. It's plainly obvious to see the change in the final third when he comes on.

Jack, I love you.

 

Calling Westwood mediocre is absolutely hilarious. His signing was proof that Lambert had a true eye for talent in the transfer market. 

 

And his signing of Tonev shows he has a true eye for signing what?

 

Signing Tonev shows he should never take advice from Petrov on transfers ever again. 

Playing like our old selves at the moment. N'zog offers nothing in my opinion. 

Calling Westwood mediocre is absolutely hilarious. His signing was proof that Lambert had a true eye for talent in the transfer market. 

 

Well that doesn't sound good in regards to the way we looked after him.

That summer really was terrible for player signings.

Yes it was. At least Lambert has learnt this year and bought players with some experience. Good luck to Helenius, he ain't coming back.

 

It pains me to admit but I don't think he'll be back either. He really looked like he had the potential to be a very good player.

I've avoided VT like the plague for the last month or so. It's becoming ever more apparent that results are continuing on the same course as the last 2 seasons. Even with an improved roster things are not clicking offensively. I'm at the point now that it's probably better to move now rather than later. Maybe Moyes is holding out for another opportunity in the prem instead of accepting the Inter or Sociedad positions.

I'm late to the party but his birthday tweet mocking Yaya was hilarious. Props to the kid.

SSN saying a deal for Cleverley could still happen.

I don't see it on his Twitter? Has it been deleted or am I blind? Both are a distinct possibility

London Times reporter, Matt Cotton, saying deal should be done by tomorrow before squad leaves for the US. Is this a credible source?

I don't understand how it's so shocking that he would play in a holding position if signed. Time after time last season we completely bypassed the midfield and hoofed it up to Benteke and Kozak because the midfield was too inept to string 3 passes together. Don't get me wrong I am big fans of Delph and Westwood but Ki would be ideal to start the attack with his creativity and exceptional vision. 

Experienced, talented players in the prime of their careers are out of our budget.

The options are either: Young prospect with no guarantee they will make the step up or 'passed it' experienced pro looking for another chance in the top league.

We needed a couple of the second lot to provide some steady heads on the pitch as last two seasons we have only had the first lot.

So basically then you are just endorsing signing experience for experience's sake which I find utterly bemusing to be honest. Just to clarify, the idea that we needed experience and this was the root of our problems was never something I agreed with. We needed an increase in quality which in itself is unrelated to age.

The reason the 'young and hungry' project failed isn't because of the ages of the players (none of whom were even that young anyway), rather it was because most of them were crap. They are crap now and they'll still be crap in five years' time.

Regarding your choices, well if it is a choice between a youngster who might prove to be good enough at this level or someone like Senderos who never has been and at his age, has no scope for improvement then the logical option will always be the former.

This ridiculous argument that poor players can still benefit the team so long as they have some fabled experience was the same thing often used as a defence of the Grant Holt signing. "He'll be an experienced head in the dressing room" they said. "His leadership will benefit the younger players" they said. I thought people would've learned from that fateful experience but evidently not.
