Cheers for the heads up - saves me wasting my Saturday afternoons for the next nine months.. You don't happen to have next weeks lottery numbers by any chance, do you?  Haha, am just stating the cynical facts. ??? #opinion

Why? None of them are playing for top teams. If they're not good enough for them, how can they be good enough to catch them?! Going by what you're saying, why did we sign Borini, Allen and Mignolet then. That is our scouting department trying to find good over-looked players. What is being suggested, is that squad players that barely performed are worth keeping. They are not. It is one thing taking a chance on a player that has impressed at another club. There is another retaining one that is either past their best/under-performing/just not good enough.

Agree however that there is no need to keep players that are not good enough, under performers is a different animal, is it loss of form that will get back or not. Why didn't we buy Sturridge last summer instead of Allen, we badly needed a striker much more than a midfield player AND STURRIDGE WAS AVAILABLE. Why did we buy Mignolet instead of a CB which according to me is more of a priority?

I think that all comes with the different expectations people hold for the owners. I am not saying 6th, 8th and 7th are acceptable. But they were left with a squad of players mainly on short-term contracts. They were left with many players nearing the end of their prime on big contracts. They were left with a team unable to challenge for 4th. I am not sure FSG want to do it the "cheapest way." They said when they came in they would not be funding anything, only that the club had to be self-supporting. You can dream of sugar-daddy owners, but I'd sooner accept reality, and that is that we are playing a mid-term strategy of rebuilding. And the start of that has to be losing players on big contracts who are all replaceable, and Reina certainly fits the bill. We all get attached to players, but right now, we should be questioning how good THEY really are, given they've been the ones playing on the field, and only mustering 7th. Some or a lot of that may make sense and actually prove to be a great way forward? Be a lot more palatable to a lot of fans though if they just removed the American spin and BS; we're not fools when it comes to this club.

What American spin? If anything, the American presence has been downplayed for the past year, which is fine with me. Henry and Warner don't even talk anymore, they do it through Ayre and the manager.

it was always a bit strange to loan him out. if we can get some decent money for him that will help secure our other targets.

That's a nice history, but what's the point? How does it relate? I agree with it pretty much completely, but it's a bit off topic.
