If Ross does stay we will then have 4 number 10's.

Who would you play from Ross, Rooney, Siggy and Klaasen?

And could any of them play together?

The next manager has some real sorting out to do.

I still think so. Certainly Ross and Siggy could play together as they are pretty different players. Koeman wanted Ross higher up the pitch and wanted him aggressive and decisive, taking guys on and attacking the goal. As we know, he wants to hold the darn thing and retain possession. Nothing wrong with that, but if he can play off of Siggy's one touch play making, could be very good.

Still say Rooney's best position is up top for us.

Klaasen is more of a box to box, but he's still a central player.

I still think where they play is overrated. Siggy can play wider, so can Ross, it's the individual qualities and chemistry that matter more than what place on the pitch they are initially positioned.
 
Let him go FFS. He didn't sign , he didn't want to stay, so FFFF him off.Please don't give me .... it was the manager that forced his hand. FFS,he is a grown man getting paid more than most of us could dream of in a lifetime.Doing a job that we, would DO FOR NOTHING.So let the little blert jog the FFFF on.Half of us don't like our bosses and still put a shift in.
 
He's not staying......

No mate. The market sets the price. I'd want at least 5 figures.

What nonsense. Are you saying that entire sections of support have singled him out for criticism? In the same way entire sections sing his chant.

Like I said, singing his name before/after abusing him does not make it OK. I have watched him and others, seen first hand, many times their heads totally drop when they misplace a pass and the groans and shouts start.

Why the fu** do people not understand this? Just cos you sing his name when he has a good game (or is not even friggin playing) does NOT counter act all the damage you do when you shout abuse, no one gains anything from abusing players, you look like t1ts, the atmosphere sours and the players lose confidence, in fact, the only ones who gain from it are the other team!!
 

Unfortunately I think getting Koeman as manager has made us lose Ross, perhaps something can still be done but it has to be very soon, but I'm not holding my breath. Koeman didn't half leave us in a mess in many areas, it's as if he wanted to mess us up before he got the sack.
