If Gerrard comes in we add a £10 million premium, anyone can have Kent for £20 million but Villa and Gerrard? £30 million.

As much of an open goal that it is they still had to go and do the deal, they deserve credit for that alone. My biggest fear with Gio is that they wouldn't even consider him and look closer to home to a Mcinnes type, thankfully I was wrong.

We have missed Kent being at his best, I don't think he wants to go but the same applies to him as Gerrard, we go on.

Sylvinho I think it was when Gio was with us could be wrong but its exactly why I said I doubt many remember his time at us, he has played for Barca, won the CL and a world cup finalist. The only way I see some not knowing him is if they weren't into football growing up.

I can remember him at Rangers and I was 6 when he first arrived, I doubt many of the players will remember much of his time at us but most of them will know who he is.

The players will know who GVB is, he was still scoring worldies at the 2010 World Cup.

It makes perfect sense for us to go for Gio, likes to play a similar style that we have just now and knows the club, so no doubt we end up with Mcinnes or some pish.

Judas rat bastard, hope Villa go down.

De Boer had a lot more resources to pull from with Ajax, GVB won Feyenoords first title after there own financial troubles, am sure they spent a couple of season's down the leagues.

Sure I seen somewhere Wouters had retired, maybe one last year just to help out Gio but I doubt it.

Last time I seen him he looked younger, going for the woke hipster look.

Probably true, he is hardly going to be privy to private discussions between Villa and Gerrard if we have litreally just been approached by them today.

If he goes then fuck him, we go on always have and always will.

Totally forgot about Bassey going as well, criminally short at the back once they 2 go.

Pointless spending more money on cover when we have a perfectly good CB out on loan that can cover, it would be selfish if we had choices in that position but if Balogun goes away on international duty and Helander isn't fully fit then we will be relying on Bassey/Simpson and that's if nothing happens to Goldson in between then.

Surely won't have any choice but to call him back the way things are going, Helander probably won't be back until xmas and Balogun is away on international duty, recall Katic in January and at least we have a competent defender to back up Goldson and Helander.

AZ sold most of there main players in the summer, Stengs, Boadu and Koopmeiners all left. Would hazard a guess at about 50 million for those 3 alone.

Gutted, devastated and heartbroken all in one, I was too young for his 1st stint but the memories he gave me during his 2nd stint will be with me forever. The greatest manager in my lifetime and we will never see another like him, tomorrow will be hard but on a positive note we get to celebrate his life at our home. Rest easy Sir Walter thank you for everything.

We can agree on the end part there, Aribo sub was baffling to say the least even more so bringing Hagi off at the same time. Personally I thought the midfield today where superb until the changes, Bacuna coming on was random, Lundstram puts in another MOTM performance but we bring on Davis and change the dynamic of the midfield. Gerrard and Morelos fucked it today nobody else IMO.

Morelos had a piss poor game and has had a piss poor start but did people think that Roofe would cone off a flight yesterday and replace him today?

We effectively back ourselves into a corner the last 10 minutes, if we get the 2nd today like many other games this season its a formality, 1 goal lead with 10 minutes to go the natural reaction (rightly or wrongly) is to protect, people will say about how solid we were last season but a lot of that was to do with us killing games early, we fuck about in front of goal and give our opponent every single piece of encouragement they want to push forward.

Yes St Johnstone away when Helander got his injury, both absolutely terrible that day. Even Simpson came on and looked more assured than Helander that day, make of that what you will.

The mad thing about the challenge is if he stays on his feet he takes the ball 9 times out of 10, he's went to ground purely looking to leave one on Aribo and its backfired spectacularly on him.

His use of possesion today was the most important thing, always driving forward or looking for the forward pass, as much as I like Davis if he was playing today I doubt we see the same drive as that and a lot of balls going back the way.

Its also unreasonable to assume the board are sitting on a treasure chest willing to spend at every window, if he wanted money spent on players then he should have done more to see off Malmo, or even sold a player and brought funds in that way to freshen up but instead we have kept the nucleus of the squad even signed half of them up on new contracts. Needs to look closer to home, tactics are predictable pish now, zero creativity at all and still to make a sub or tweak that changes the game when it needs done.
