If Cech does end up signing for Arsenal, would anyone have Szczesny? Then again, I'd rather we go in for Cech, but I doubt we'd get him!

{Ed025's Note - his wages would put us off hugo, and for me szczesny makes too many basic errors mate..

No thanks, he's terrible.

Oh yeah, definitely wouldn't be close to being the top of my goalkeeper wishlist either! Any other suggestions for a new keeper, lads?

{Ed007's Note - David Marshall....?

Reading that Mirallas has an 'awkward' relationship with Martinez amid allegations of broken promises after Dortmund and athletico enquired about him in January, and he was obliged to stay due to squad depth, he then got less game time than expected! Now doesn't this resemble Distin? who knows exactly but I'm not convinced the squad are fully behind RM there have been to many players off form this year for this not to be a major part of our poor season!

29 May 2015 18:44:41
No I don't think it resembles distin. Distin was chucked out the squad for poor performances and has barely played all season. Mirallas has been in and out the squad and first 11 since january. Mirallas' problem is his ego.

{Ed025's Note - he thinks he,s better than he is swan..

Would like nothing better than this season just gone to have actually been our transition season and that Martinez has as he says sussed it out now and knows what to do. But come November and everything has gone tits up, most of all I hope our Bill has the guts to fess up.

Mirallas is a totally different situation. 8 months into his first season with us he was banging on about playing in the CL the following season. Every time he goes away and plays he comes out with this. I can't be bothered with him.

It's so disrespectful to the supporters who pay his bloody wages. If he wants to go or is unhappy all he has to do is speak to the club, his agent and manager and come to an agreement. If he has a contract which he signed then he must either wait until the end of it or see if the club will sell him. You don't go and do interview after interview.

Get the money and let the spoilt brat go.

I understand all of the reasoning in these posts, however he does represent one of our better players, getting shot may just open the door for other star players to follow suit ie Lukaku and / or Mccarthy, last thing we need is a mass exodus, the manager needs to stamp his authority get it sorted and strengthen the squad so they are all fighting to be a part of the team in this great club, Ferguson achieved so much at manure but wouldn't suffer fools or players that believed they are bigger than the club. The buck stops with you RM!

Get shut he is a luxury player who half the time you don't even notice he is actually on the pitch. Konoplyanka is available on a free surely we can have a punt on him if we shift kevs wages of the bill and get 10 mill for him.

30 May 2015 13:21:43
But Wakka Ferguson got rid of players like Mirallas who showed descent. He won't change as he has been banging on since he first came.

As for him being one of our better players. He is but I would rather have someone supplying the ball for the front men and not being selfish in their play like he is. I think players of their ilk should be given bonus on assists not goals. It would force them to consider others instead of shooting whenever the goal is within range. He is replaceable like anyone in our team and you find equal or better out there so he is not such a big loss.

29 May 2015 16:21:08
Mirallas at it again. I can't even be bothered to go on about him any-more. Please sell him just to shut him up.

29 May 2015 17:01:06
Agreed john Its getting silly now.

29 May 2015 17:37:21
Who does he think he is? Sick of hearing about him, get shot and buy someone with passion.

29 May 2015 08:35:40
The enigma for me this season is Gibson, do we still stick with him, on his day a great midfielder fantastic passing range with great vision, however as we all know injury prone! we really don't get enough games from him, perhaps we can look at the medical team, or maybe he just has weaknesses in his physical make up. Perhaps that's why we got him at such a bargain price in the first place?

29 May 2015 09:17:34
Love the guy when he plays mate but he has had enough chances, sell him for a couple of million and throw McGeady in for free

29 May 2015 09:51:51
Dont think he is much of a bargain mate a handful of games on reasonable wages its a shame really as IMO he is a quality player when fit

29 May 2015 11:13:57
Think Gibson is a good player but like sturridge his transfer value will never be very high .He should be a 10 mil player but his injuries mean he never plays a full season so is only probably worth 2 or 3 mil .I would keep him because when he does play he has an affect on the team he's a good squad player and seems a good lad in the dressing room .

When Gibbo plays mate, he's always a top candidate for m.o.t.m. imo.

However like you say ''his injuries'' probably means in the great scheme of things e.g. pro's and con's etc.

It's the latter that dominates unfortunately .

''throw McGeady in for free''

Ok but as an option with no obligation ;)

We don't want to scare people off now do we.

I love gibson, really good player, excellent passer, works hard and has a cracking shot (which we have not seen a lot due to his knee injury). Its a shame it really is. I don't think he will ever do a full season but imo we should sell him for 2m or something.

29 May 2015 19:02:29
Would anyone risk buying him right now so prob best to keep hold and hope he can get over his injuries great player when fit
