Gomes being offered at £22 million apparently.

{Ed002's Note - No, that is not the case. Barcelona have said that the player wants to move clubs and they will listen to offers for a summer move. Nothing about money.}

Sorry Ed that’s not what I read mate they said in the report they have to offload players to fund New I coming in and £22 mill was the price.

{Ed0333's Note - you know better than to question Ed’s 002 about money fella. Are you really gonna take the word of some internet/newspaper journalist over Ed’s 002?

04 Jan 2019 22:55:01
Hey Ed it’s in The Daily Mail mate.

04 Jan 2019 23:02:14
Sport Ed Daily Express mate.

GB, have you been on the sauce mate? I'm with Ed0333, arguing with Ed002 never ends well lol. Seriously, I read that article myself mate and as much as it'd be nice to be genuine let's just wait and see what happens.

{Ed0333's Note - the same paper said Neymar was being sold for 2 million.

Thanks to the Ed’s I will listen to them in the future cheers for the correct info, should have known better.

{Ed001's Note - usually, as a rule of thumb, any story that mentions an amount of money is utter bullex (as my friend spells it). Journalists are just not privy to that kind of information and it usually is not entirely clear what the actual money is until the documentation is lodged with the TMS.}

It's the same every day Ed and even more so during the Transfer Window. Players names get picked out of the air and stories made up about them. Sure, sometimes there may be a fragment of truth in what they write, but it's mostly BS to fill their column inches.

{Ed0333's Note - exactly mate.

Hmmmm always called em rags, can see why thanks to all for opening my eyes.

Look at how much Mina cost (apparently) and then way that against the pure guesswork figure for Suarez and now Gomez. We have a sensible DoF in Brands (at last) , contacts mean everything in this business, so hopefully no sillyness.

Think I have been on the sauce. For way please insert 'weigh' of course.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 4th January 2019

Needs more time, Job in progress have faith it will all come good . Sorry but if it was somebody else who is don't know but silver was the wrong choice. FM needs to be given better advice if he wants to move the club forward, he needs someone to lead him because it don't think he knows what he is doing when it comes to appointing managers.

i don't know what's going to happen with this club over the next 6 months or so but it needs a leader somewhere at this club or we are going nowhere for the foreseeable future . i will come back on this site when i have been proven wrong until then I'm going into hiding.

Martinez, wrong choice get rid, Koeman wrong choice get rid, Unsworth not up to the task get rid, big Sam too boring not up to the task get rid, Silva wrong choice get rid, 6 months down the line new man get rid, 12 months even newer man no good get rid.

Somewhere along the line we need to be a bit more patient.

It is getting embarrassing the amount of managers we are going through.

It is about time we gave a manager a few windows to bring in their own team of players and take it from there.

Just out of interest, who would you bring in to replace Silva.

04 Jan 2019 08:40:58
Benitez, but I think it would be difficult. The problem I believe (and the reason we gave Alardyce an 18 month contract and why Silva could wait) , is that after Koeman most so-called top Managers would not touch us. There are many good Managers in the Prem with far more experience than Silva and I believe better credentials. As to Silvas style wearing out players, so we need a deeper quality. You cannot expect to keep throwing money at it. It needs better management right across the whole club from player facilities to players themselves. We are where we are, however, hopefully our existing Manager is going to come good.

04 Jan 2019 10:25:24
Getting a little fed up of the naysayers and people ready to throw Silva under the bus after a few bad results. What is it? Cos he doesn't jump round like klopp or pep? Being a football manager is his job. We all make mistakes in our jobs from time to time. He is the manager now and it was not our decision to make nor is it our decision to remove him.

If he decides to jump ship as he has in the past then we need a succession plan. But for now we all need to get behind the players so they can perform for the rest of the season. We are blues, born not manufactured and we will be regardless of owners, managers or players. We support the club and should Always Do so, for good or bad.

Agree Geoff mate, but judging by one or two of these post's there are a couple who can't see the wood for the trees, their loss buddy.

04 Jan 2019 16:47:19
Agree with you. Supporters first and foremost. Voice type displeasure on these forums (and I do LOL) . Do not boo your Team or Manager decisions on Match day home or away. Now that really does get to me.
