    Lisbie! Defoe (ducks for cover)

    No need to duck for cover. Our academy has produced the 4th (I think) most capped England forward of the millennium

    Our problem is keeping players, not producing them
  • Everyone should definitely vote Thauram
  • Gus Poyet: Diego come and join Sunderland, and play in the PL next season Poyet: Ha ha ha, that's a good one dad

    I think come and join Sunderland and play in the Championship is more likely. They look certs for the drop to me.


  • I think he will go to Sunderland in the summer and help them to promotion and end up in the prem. then will be recognised more and end up somewhere big.
  • Im 99% sure he wont go to the same club as his dad at the very least as Gus did an interview saying he could not coach his own son.
  • Stay another year Diego and pick up your 500,000 quid 10 percent of the 5 mil transfer fee (or is it more like 20percent nowadays?)
  • Apologies if this hasn't surfaced in this thread already ( I wasn't going to trawl through the hundreds of comments) but with Sunderland facing the drop and the Manager saying he takes full responsibility, what's the chances of him being kicked out at the end of the season? Furthermore, would CAFC grab him so Jose can run the Academy? If Poyet Sr is as sound as his lad is, would that be a good move for us?

    Id take that situation all day long. Just not sure Gus would.

    Would be a great fit in my opinion and I'd be very happy with that. Good call.

    Would mean Steve Brown wouldn't be seem at the Valley for a while though! :)

    Ad infinitum.
  • He's probably not going to sign whichever division we're in so we'd just best learn to live with it...Shame but that's life
  • It's he's birthday today , surely a birthday goal vs Yeovil !

    Goal by anyone of our players would be nice :-)
  • Thought Diego was very good tonight and got a great sing song at the end but hardly recognised it.
  • That pass for the 3rd goal....

    I will settle for that :-)))

  • At least we've had the pleasure of watching him play.
  • Not a chance of keeping him.
  • I wouldn't, in all honesty, be able to advise him to stay. He is clearly too good for where we are going. It's staggering that he can go from a young player with just months left on his contract who's never played in the first team to a star who shouldn't stay at a Championship club.

    I would be ecstatic if he stayed for another season but I can't see it and, despite, having been with us for a while, I don't think anyone can, realistically, hold it against him if he moves on to much bigger and better things.

    liked this for the sad truth in it
  • Release him and use the money to extend Spongefoot's contract.

    When one looks at where we might be mid August it would be criminal for him and the club to part ways! The risks look.too high for me on both sides...After tonight's result I can be a bit braver about us staying up... But I can also reiterate two facts which cannot be argued:
    1) CAFC squad is about to go through a revolution comparable to three years ago...15 younger players signed up...10 older players gone...5 talented professionals in the balance.
    2) Of course he can go and take risks on situation, people, management (which changes) or he can stay and be part of a top half set up...maybe even top 6 if we sign the right players!

    End of the day it is up to Riga, Meire and Duchatelet (+?) to paint the picture for Poyet, Hamer, Morrison, Dervite etc. so the club can build. I am 100% sure the club are already selling this vision (under new ownership) - let's see who buys it?!

  • Is RD going to invest heavily in the summer if we stay up? (Genuine question, think I've missed this being talked about).
  • Would a POTY award go anyway towards convincing him to stay ?
