Do you think we would get more points in the next 9 games with Frank or Sam in charge?

We have to sack him. Given the very existence of the club will be at stake should we drop, we have to. Roll the dice. It's a little harsh on Frank but it's too important. I know it's horrible and I can't believe I'm saying it...but give big sam a couple of million bonus for staying up. I'd be a...

I'm thinking Carlo must have a pretty low buy out clause in his contract or something? From the sounds of it they seem very confident they can just take him without a fight. And no way they are paying £30 million or so. Gutted

I'd say it was pretty disrespectful to Carlo to even ask the question in the first place. It just about sums up the culture of the club. He should want to stay with his team mates and support them in what is still a big game. Wouldn't be at all surprised if that's the last we see of him.

It can't but it will. The Champions league without most of them clubs would be finished if we are honest. PSG and Bayern would eventually sign up to the ESL too I've no doubt. It'd kill the competition. And whether we like it or not the ESL would be hugely popular with the worldwide casual...

That would be my hope too. But realistically the BMD project gets temporarily suspended immediately. How can it not? While this threat hangs over football and the value of this club could drastically reduce based on the decisions of 6 greedy club owners, no way things carry on as normal until we...

But they'd still earn 1000x more with them 6 clubs involved than without. Self interest of the PL will see them roll over on this, no doubt. And if they do manage to pull this off then UEFA is obviously dead. The Champions League and Europa will eventually be no more and the ESL will replace them.

How is that protecting their product though? Protecting their product will mean them bending over backwards to pander to these 6 clubs. If they were to expel them then football in this country would turn into SPL standard practically overnight. If clubs would survive at all. TV deals &...

Spot on. I can't see how the stadium happens if this goes ahead.

Decent shout that. I think Rafael will try and get him at Napoli, myself.

He shipped Mata out too.

I think Bony has scored four pens in the league this season, too.

Who do you reckon will be in for him? I think he could end up in Italy myself.

Absolutely. A 1 in 2 record in the PL is outstanding. To think Drogba didn't really peak/best years until he was around 28-32ish. He's still going strong now, too. We could easily get a good 15 years out of Lukaku and for 20m...I'd be delighted with that.

Must have been mate, yeah. Really shocked by them numbers though, I would've thought he notched up close to 20 in the league every year. Mad.

Drogba only bettered Lukaku's record this season twice in his 8 years in this country. I didn't realise he had such a poor record domestically. One amazing season (29 goals), one very good season (20) and the rest no more than 12. Three seasons not even reaching double figures. Incredible.

It's far too early to be coming to them conclusions I think mate. He's still a kid really at 20, especially for a player of his ilk. I think he'd kick on and improve his all round game massively under Bobby. I know the Drogba comparison is a bit tiresome but if I remember correctly, Drogba was...

It's a no brainer for me at least, if it's a choice between the two. It'd be a massive risk spending that kind of money on him after his 1st season. He could turn into a Papiss Cisse next year. At least Lukaku has done it for a couple of years running now.

Yep, it's bizarre. They'd go for similar amounts, which is why I'd have Lukaku. 5 years younger too.

Why are people so certain Bony is available..have I missed something? How much are we looking at for him then? Seems like Swansea will stay up and can't see them letting him go for anything less than around 18m... I'd rather have Lukaku, if a choice between the two. 100%
