Oh dear, no heart, no spark, minds on booking their summers hols.

Still, on the upside, at least my Cardiff supporting boss won't fire me on Monday :0)

Well very disappointed today. In the first half we created so many chances but just couldn't convert them. Should have won the game in the first 45 mins really. Performance against Cardiff clearly shows we need greater strike power, someone with proven PL experience.

So, Wanyama and Osvaldo were quoted in the papers as saying they would one day like to play for another club (clubs they've supported since children) (obviously with the intention of seeing out their contract with us) and everyone jumped on their backs, completely sh@t all over them, 'if they don't want to play for us then go'.

Cork came out and said he wanted to leave because he wasn't playing enough (clearly not a team player, the name on the front is more important than the name on the back, right?) and nobody bats an eyelid. Double standards much?

It doesn't take much to see poch and his back room staff will be moving on I just wonder who will would replace him.

I´m not sure that´s true, he may just be keeping his cards close to his chest. Plus the more he plays hard to get over signing a new contract, the better bargaining position he is in, in terms of possible transfers in and out (ie meet me half way or I might leave). One more good transfer window could be so important (sign 3 or 4 players and don´t sell anyone except for Osvaldo), after that I think we could pretty much stop signing players, so Liebherr wouldn´t have to bankroll us anymore and the club could start making a profit. Could after that just sign one player each summer to give the fans and the players a lift. Hope we sign a keeper, cb, forward and attacking midfield player in the summer.

He's holding out for a bigger contract and summer spending plans. Also he apparently has a soft spot for spurs due to the Argentinian connection in the 70's and 80's, not good news

Poch has a year left on his contract, it's not his choice to leave.

the club are waiting until they know where we are going to finish and our financial situation for next season before we offer new contracts

Poch loves it here, he loves the fans, he loves the club, he's bringing through youth players, he's under no pressure to let anyone go. He's a smart man, he knows we're a club on the up, he won't want to go to spurs because if he has a mid season run with them, like he had with us this season he'll get sacked.

Everyone who starts most weeks (with the exception of Cork (who's already said he want's to leave)) are tied down for atleast 3 years, there's no pressure on us to let them go if we don't want to
