    Are we the English Monaco?

    Are we in danger of becoming England's answer to Monaco where we nurture great talent at low cost and wages to then have our stars preyed and poached with the opportunity to challenge at highest level and earn money most can only dream about. In my opinion our model can't work for longer term...

    Recruitment Task Force

    There has been much fan fare and high 5's when we secured the services of Paul Mitchell and his visionary recruitment policy. This combined with the experienced smooth operator in Baldini and the tough negotiator in Levy. This was viewed by many as the dream ticket and we'd start to recruit the...

    Will the return to Europa League action derail our push for 4th?

    Since we finished the group stages of the Europa League we have lost only two of our eleven league games and picked up 23 points out of a possible 33. I'm concerned that the return of Thursday football to back of beyond will potentially derail our season, when Liverpool have no such distraction.

    First team to qualify for Champions League with a negative goal difference

    Are we trying to set an unwelcomed record of potentially qualifying for the champions league with a negative goal difference?

    Our £100M evaluation

    I have given my views and an early evaluation on the £100m spent in the summer and I'm concerned that we have so far failed to get a decent return on our investment or a return fitting the investment laid out. I've summarised my opinions by purchase Capoue £9M - Looked excellent until...

    Gordon Taylor on Gareth Bale

    The well known PFA parasite Gordon Taylor has publicly criticised Daniel Levy's treatment of Gareth Bale. This is absolutely none of his business how we conduct of affairs, and he has no knowledge of what is being discussed and should remain silent on the whole issue. The analogy I draw is...

    Kyle Walker

    Rumours of an unexpected vacancy at right back arose yesterday after a flood of money reduced the odds on Kyle Walker joining Chelsea. The move went unreported by the media but the story might just intensify next week

    Investment

    This morning the papers are full of a proposed £1.5bn take over at Arsenal by some Middle East consortium, with alleged riches that surpass that of Man City. I'm sure that Levy and his advisers are doing all they can to attract investment, particularly for stadium development, but if this...

    Fringe Players

    Has today illustrated that our squad depth does not hold the quality so many in the media believe. We have played a number of so called fringe players in games, both cup and league this year, and unfortunatley they have come up short. I understand the need to have fringe players who are...

    No fluidity, guile and creativity

    This time last year, we were a team who the media pundits were waxing lyrical about our pace, creativity and attacking style. I for one really looked forward to watching us play. Fast forward 12 months and we're a team that has no fludity, shape, creativity and guile and not that pleasing on the...

    Mental Strength

    I've been supporting this great club since 1978. In all those years, we've seemed to lack the required mental strength to really sustain any challenge on winning the title. Is this to do with the type of player, manager, coaching staff we employ, or is it the simple fact there are always 3 or 4...
