Hi Ed (002) Great to have your perspective back on board,
With latest valuation of around 4 mill I am cooling very quickly to the idea of letting Ricky go. I can see at 8/9 it would be good business for the club but 4 is ridiculous especially before the world cup. Unless of course there is a player exchange in the deal we havnt heard about. any thoughts Ed

{Ed002's Note - I have no interest in discussing money.}

I believe 4mil plus ad dons

Think I would cry if we somehow ended up with Iago Aspas.

Yep add ons are probably england appearances, goals scored and winning the prem related. Any other ideas? Shame he's going but maybe Osvaldo might come back. Again has anyone got any ideas on this one?

Can't see osvaldo coming back, I'd still like to see David villa come in even though got slaughtered on here for it :)

Probable l'pool appearance and goals related

Osvaldo coming back could be decent, I've said for ages I reckon he and Mayuka could do a job next season. add in a couple of new signings and we'll be decent

Borini would be decent I think, he showed promise for Sunderland last season and with the right service maybe he could become the player that he has the potential to be, that's if we're talking about an exchange for Lambert. In terms of a replacement for him from elsewhere someone like Lukaku or Bony would be good seeing as they're more than likely going to be a loan striker with the 4-2-3-1 being as prominent as it is, they need to have a bit of physical strength about them and they have that in abundance

SaintySaintSaint if the board follows your logic not only can we kiss good bye to any ambition but we will end up in a relegation battle to boot. I believe the best thing for Saints would be if someone were to step in and buy the club the e present owner clearly is not comitted to her father s project and her two yes men are a nightmare. One of them just had to be named Krueger, just our luck.
