You can add Balotelli to the unflusable turd list as he'll end up getting loaned out for the rest of his contract.

I'm still upset daenerys is going to marry some chump that was going to be dragon food. But it's daenerys all day long for me.

Not that arsed if he leaves. Reminds me a bit of Owen in someways the fans by and large don't seem to have the affection for him as they do for some of the other players and I get the feeling he's not that bothered about our club and would easily move to a london club given the chance.

Coutinho Lallana Can

exactly. It's why I'm terrified of what we do this summer. We need a striker that scores goals and ideally can play in a high pressing team. (Just like last summer) but watch how we"ll be making bids for wingers, midfielders and fullbacks for most of the summer. Use out transfer kitty and BUY FUCKING GOALS.

It'll be fine the club has shown once they have enough time to plan for him being out we'll be grand. Remember when we knew Suarez was going to be leaving and had the whole summer to sort it out and got Balotelli in.....

Maybe its not coming from our end but the list of players we are missing out on over the last couple of years is making us look small time. Even for us going for another potential "big name" signing in the summer they'd probably look at us and question why players are turning us down. Its very disheartening more than anything else. I can remember when we were linked with Costa and Mkhitaryan and getting excited about signing them. Now when the Depay links came out my first reaction is this won't happen for one reason or another and we'll lose out so I don't even try and get my hopes up.

Ye agree with this. FSG seem to want to negotiate and drag out the deal to get the player signed for the best value in wages. The problem with that idea is when another club comes in and offers more money we get left looking like gobshites. Even Willian had turned us down to go to fucking spurs ahead of us before going to Chelsea. The most frustrating part for me is how we are leaking all our targets publicly before making a balls of it.

"Aston Cookies and Cream" really! there was nearly a Neg going in for that but the last paragraph got you out of Jail. Good stuff again Dave.

He's better than Allen and Lucas. I like Allen but he picks up a lot of injuries and takes a while to get his form going. He's hardly a shite player being a regular for City for the last couple of seasons for a free its not bad business.

There's been a lot of moaning about how weak our bench is recently with a shocking lack of options. Milner coming in as has already been said can come into our first 11 in a couple of positions. It also allows us to have decent depth in midfield for next season. We'd have next season if we get him in. Henderson, Allen, Milner, Lucas and Can all as options. Its not massively exciting but its a very solid hardworking midfield if we can have Sturridge fit for at least 20 league matches and add another really good player that can get 15-20 goals we'd get top 4 next season. It looks like we'll miss out on top 4 this year by a couple of points if you take it that our top scorers being on 7-8 goals we just need to address getting goals in this side for next season.

Honestly can't see FSG sacking him. They won't spend the money to pay him off and then appointing someone else. For my money Rodgers will be our manager for the start of next season.

seriously mate don't do it too yourself.

hahahahah that's pure gold. If you were to make a premier league manager up as a pisstake you couldn't come up with better than sherwood. His opinion of himself has no limits.

Who does sterling and his agent think will sign him?

Shocking misses from sterling and lallana

Super pass from lallana to sterling just there.

Good goal great finish and good assist from lambert

I can take losing. The issue I have in the recent matches in particular is the lack of effort and the ability to at least put the teams that we should beat under some pressure. When we lost to sides like this in the past under different managers some of the defeats where bad but there was a lot of games where the opposition goal keeper would have a great game to keep us out. We've created little or nothing of note in these recent matches which is the hard thing to stomach for me. And a lot of the changes and substitutions have had no effect.

its not just last night for us though is it? We've lost to a Paul lambert villa side, a warnock palace side, sherwood's villa side In a semi final, Bruce's hull, pulis west brom. Chelsea have the odd bad game they'll win the league though. We've had a bucket load of bad games against poorer sides and won't get in the top 4.

due to the fact that there top of the league and will have it won within the next couple of weeks probably not. Was there a point you are trying to make?

true. But he'd at least run in the right direction.

im pretty sure Steve Bruce can still run faster than Balotelli.
