This is the other problem with Roman's trigger happy finger, he was happy to let good players go under Jose because he knew it was what the manager wanted but if we were only going to go & get rid of Jose anyway then we might as well have kept the likes of Lukaku, De Bruyne and Mata.

We can't worry about Jose anymore. As UTC says, f'ck him, i hope it all goes horribly wrong for him.

not that I won't put it past the jokers that are supposed to run the club, its not move I see happening. If it, it will highlight even more the complete lack of direction we have.

That's a bit of a myth I think. 16 Goals in 40 appearances in his first season was a decent enough start given he missed a few months through injury. A look at the end of season DVD will show he was constantly involved in our build up play plus an integral part of our set piece defending. Appreciate Drogba was older but his talent was evident on the training ground, I remember JT saying he did unbelievable things in training.

It was the opposite for Lukaku and there were various comment coming out about poor his technique was.

Clueless

Neither did I B, I thought it was a good bit of business at the time as he was never going to be the standard which we needed at the time. Our standards have dropped considerably since then, but buying him back would be a short term negative step for a ridiculous amount of money.

I reckon more stroppy Belgians is just what we need! Maybe a bid for balotelli as well.
