How many times have we posted on here over the last 18 months bemoaning the lack of squad size and since then we have seen considerably more leave than come in. Are we that desperate for cash that we have to move players out on loan even just to get them off our wage bill ?
The way this club is being run borders on the embarassing

I have never felt this way for over 15 years about our team, even in the darkest Graham days.........................
Despite needing all the players we can get at the moment, one player i'm sure we can do without is Senderos! For me the straw that broke the camels back was his shambolic performance in what was one of our biggest games in a while... the 2nd leg of the champions league quarter final against liverpool, he got found out big time that night and like wayno said, "good luck phil, you won't be missed!"
Not if it goes against his principles so no kicking teams with Taylor type challenges (though we do enough of those), no copying the Marseilles and Juventus route and he isn't going to do the Leeds gamble. On that I agree with him
Trying to youth your way to the EPL title on the other hand... yeah that I'm not too happy with. I understand we can't pay for the likes of Torres but unless something magical happens by end of window, this will have been a very bad summer for us
