Bringing in someone from abroad with a decent record is much more likely to happen. Whoever it is it must be a priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19801 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 We may as well sell mitro if it releases funds for a new striker in January because it’s obvious Rafa doesn’t fancy him so what’s the point in holding on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll probably put Gayle back up if Ashley's still in charge as i dont think he's 100%. Of course if we're bought we should be ok funds wise. Just if Ashley's still here i can see Rafa having to sell to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Barton did a decet job on the right for a while too. Edited November 7, 2017 by rogerbarton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all Benitez doesn't seem to trust Mitrovic, Gayle surely doesn't work in our system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26269 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Plus he's still likely to fetch £12m for a Championship club who need a guarantee of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19801 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 but at least rafa trusts him and will play him, if only as an impact sub. mitro can't even make the bench when everyone's fit. he's done here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerbarton 24 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 It hasn't been beyond Rafa to change his mind during his time here. Sels being dropped, Darlow being dropped, Mbemba coming back in (personally still think he's better than Manquillo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Mitro's value must have dropped significantly, despite his performances on the international stage. I'd be surprised if anyone paid £10m for him now. Which is a shame, because he's still better than Chris fucking Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Remember Rafa saying "he was buying what he needed not who he wanted" if we're taken over by then hopefully he can get who he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, if players like Murphy, Diame and Gamez are still occasionally getting on the pitch and he's not, I can't see him coming back into the fold. Unless Joselu gets crocked and Gayle continues his barren run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 You know, I think our loss to Bournemouth was in part responsible for Bilic's sacking at West Ham. The 3 points they got jumped them out of the bottom three putting West Ham back in the cellar. Had that not happened Bilic may have survived another week or two due to the International break. After all their loss to Liverpool was to be expected and no big surprise but the Bournemouth win over us resulted in sinking the Hammers into the bottom three which appeared to be the last straw for Bilic.

I reckon losing 4-1 at home to Liverpool was more responsible mind And having the worst defence in the league. And only Palace having won fewer games.

No great surprise, but I bet they didn't cast the net as far as they could. Surely there'd be impressive coaches in the lower leagues, or someone from a foreign league? Managers who'd take a gamble if only for the chance of managing in the Premier League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12757 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I thought Rafa was nailed on to join MASSIVE CLUB FULL OF POTENTIAL AND TRUE ENGLISH POWER, West Ham because they are so much attractive than us and not only mentioned because everyone in the press supports them?

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I get people being frustrated at getting beat by Bournemouth but you look further down the league with Swansea, West Ham, West Brom etc languishing at the bottom you realise things could be alot worse, especially with the money they pumped on players.
