Are tonight we will all know if relegation is a real possibility
NQs favourite AM/DM Arturo Vidal may be available this january. Rumours are that Barca are willing to offload. Xhaka to get upgraded? Say yes to the switch.
No, we won't.Quote:

What have we shown this season that suggests we are miles better than the teams below us? Nothing.
Yes we probably won’t go down but if the coaching situation isn’t sorted out, I’d wager we will finish closer to the drop zone than the top 6. Every team in the league fancies their chances of getting a result against us, that’s why it’s only going to get harder every week and why things shouldn’t be taken for granted.
They got themselves into real financial shit and had to sell all their best players. They had nowhere near the finances or fan-base size we do.Quote:

And the cherry on top of it all? Our two star players could be gone during the transfer window.
We are more likely to be closer to the drop than moving away from it between now and the FA Cup 3rd round.
I'll judge whether we get relegated at the end of the season :sulk:
Imagine the scenes if we did go down though...
I would "Be Careful What You Wish For" the shit out of y'all :p :lol:Quote:

The FA Cup is like a trophy. If we can win in the 3rd round it might give us the confidence to go on a run and start closing the gap to Liverpool.Quote:

Slow ageing ...check

We should just sign Silva in retaliationQuote:

Yes, but what about the transfer fee? If it's low enough then he's good enough.Quote:

Liverpool have signed Minamino, they were struggling for attacking options I suppose. :unsure:

Sounds like he could be a bargain really. Klopp hasn’t got many of his signings wrong.
Xhaka linked with a return to the Bundasliga in Jan, hopefully we can get reasonable money for him.
sure though i'd be happy with getting 5p for him if that's what it takes to get him out of the clubQuote:

It's almost as if their owners are interested in what's happening at the club.Quote:

Bye.

Who will come in?Quote:

Mistake probably but Ramsey is still injury prone the biggest mistake we made is letting his contact run down and not getting a fee.
We'll get next to no money for Xhaka, he is literally begging to leave, not subtle at al.
He's provided some real decent performances lately but he has burnt his bridges with that crazy behaviour.
If we get 20mill we should cut our losses and get rid. We need an upgrade immedaitely
It needs to be someone more suited to the pace of the league
Ndidi of Leicester.Quote:

P.S. The reality is we are no longer seen as a decent destination for any decent up and coming player in PL, I mean hand on heart, we would struggle to convince a Leicester player to join us regardless of the money we throw at them.
Leicester keep finding guys like Kante and Ndidi easily enough whenever they need them - there must be others out there. Need to start scouting and analysing data better...
Well we are going to have one happy Zim on this forum. :lol:
Even if Ndidi wanted to come, he'd cost us 3 times what we will get for Xhaka.

Who comes in if Xhaka does go out?
Or do we muddle through with what we have until the summer?
Can’t even decide what kind of midfielder(/s) Arteta might need to make his ideas tick.
