I understand why we would sell good players, but why snd them out on loan. Its a real shame to see us sign talented players and not help them realise their potential.

and our squad is small as it is, why put ourselves in a dangerous position and get no financial benefit from it. Good luck MYM and HBA, hopefully if you come back we have a manager in place who can get the best out of you.

Well said desree we now only have 3 premier league experienced centre backs but none of them really up to scratch aside from Collo who looks like he's losing it.

I've tried to keep it positive about Pardew and Ashley, but what I see in the first 3 games is a bunch of players who seem to have no idea what they have to do.

The amount of space that Puncheon, gayle and zaha were given for their goals is an embarrassment.

Regardless of the coaching, it is Collo's job to marshal the defence and ensure that doesn't happen.

It is clear that certain players ie Collo do not want to be here. He shouldn't be playing, never mind being captain.

In Collo and Pardew we have a pair of clowns who are leading the team? It is a recipe for disaster.

This is getting really painful, we desperately need to keep MYM and sell Saylor and get either Alderweireld/Van Dijk/Nastasic. However Alderweireld looks like he's going to southampton. Van dijk wants to leave and west ham may be in for him and richards has gone to fiorentina.

We also need a proven goal scorer, Lacazette has rejected us again, so IMO we should just snap up Connor Wickham from the unwashed, he wants to leave and only has 1 year left on his contract, £6mil and they'll take!

Pardew has talked about the squad being too full up, so we have to sell before we buy so its surely a no brainer just to pay up the rest of Ferguson and Vuckic's contracts?

That's right Thx

Fully Agree with all of that JToon!

This would be mine:
Krul
Janmaat-Willo-M'biwa-Haidara
Tiote-Colback
Cabella-De Jong-Aarons
Rivière

SUBS:
Elliot
Collo
Santon
Anita
Ben Arfa
Ferreyra
Perez

Welcome back matt!

I'd personally play with a fluid 4-3-3 with no actual striker, everyone in the front 3 just roaming around, pulling defenders out of position. We have no out and out prolific goal scorer so why play a formation with 1?

Krul
Janmaat-Willo-M'Biwa-Haidara
De Jong-Tiote-Colback
Aarons-Ben Arfa-Cabella

That front 3 looks exciting even though it doesn't have a striker, the other thing is to put Ayoze up top with Rivière and where has Armstrong gone?

Ill go with you ToonMatt. glad to see you neither Sissoko and Goufron who are awful at the moment

Jtoon I don't think we have been playing with a striker for months now!

I just wish we would get rid of pardew, routledge looked on fire for swansea, much better than obertan.

That front 3 would have to play a lot more advanced and we would ned runners into the box for aarons to whip the ball into.

a kevin nolan type would be great in that line up.
