Gutted we never paid for this guy. 10 million seems like pennies when you watch a team that can barely string passes together at home let alone unlock a defence. Westwood, Delph and KEA are all the same player and none of them should be 1st team starters. Delph at best is just a squad player and has an even worse shot on him than Reo Coker did, horrible.
With N'Zogbia too inconsistent and injured we needed a genuine playmaker. We didn't get one and now we seem to pay for it every home game. Kiyotake might have been the answer. I'm sure he'd cost even more in January but we desperately need something. It's ok saying we've faced top teams and experienced sides so a loss is understandable but that's total cr@polla. Even Palace and Sunderland will probably beat us at home the way things are and that is truly unacceptable. Villa Park used to be a fortress, now every team no matter how big gets a piece it's embarrassing. I don't even expect us to win at all there now so a rare 3 points is a surprise. Man City was a freak result but at least we worked hard for it, at Arsenal we deserved to win after weathering the opening 20 minutes.
Away games are where it's at because we're set up that way and have the players for away games. We just seem a much stronger team in general and play without fear. At home it just falls apart.
For God Sake Lerner give Lambert some money in January to help stop the rot at home.
Needed - 1 attacking playmaker. Foreign.

plans in place...
Sorry, but even with Benteke you're a sinking ship and without him in January, you will be a submarine on an emergency dive!
Best of luck!

Just be ridiculous like Spurs with Bale and sell Benteke for over twice his actual value, like £60 million. Then buy six quality players for that money - on centre back, one full back, two central midfielders, one attacking midfield playmaker, one out and out goalscorer.
My choices would be:
.Simon Kjaer
.Jetro Willems
.Adam Maher
.Steven Defour
.Kiyotake
Javier Hernandez

With Benteke on a longer contract it may well happen.
Spurs did well with Bale and really strengthened their squad. They haven't gelled yet and our football is better to watch than theirs
Dont want Benteke to go but with situation may have to
We are in a better position at the moment than last year but we are slipping dramatically and PL needs to sort quickly.
I would have Lowton back at RB and push Bacuna into midfield for one.

We will see AndyGray...
You are seemingly very much a one-man-team at present and need to change that if you've any chance.
I doubt very much that if you sell Benteke in Jan, you will get the price you want, more likely cash+swap, but even if that doesn't 'float yer boat' any players you go after are going to have their price over-inflated.
We will let you have Zig cheap if interested?
Though I would prefer us both in the PL I will happily settle for the Championship for the time being
Good luck!

I forgot it was half-term seedy...
You should be worrying about your own 'big' club rather than our poor 'little' outfit.
You've a billionaire-owner and we've an alleged embezzler-owner, yet both of our clubs are in 'schtuck', hmmmm...
So much for your owner then at least we've an excuse, what's yours?

Kill blouse slowly, please don't compare ur circus with our mighty club.
We r doing fine, we will keep improving under Lambert & like for like results from last year prove this. So despite your desperate desire to see us struggle as you have nothing left down sty Andrews, we will continue on the long road to get back where our wonderful club deserves to be.
Goodbye & good riddance !
