Really is a 'gun to the head' decision!
With that in mind.. Who are you replacing KP with - and with how much of the allotted 17m?

mate, you're killing me

right, I'd do this (and take cover after pressing send)

Forhsaw playing the KP role...

17m on a winger, and a Number 10.

before you all dive on me about Forshaw!! remember this guy's just put a gun to my head

5 stars from me by the way.. nice to talk football rather than finance, politics and owners

A double of Leeds to win the Championship and Liverpool to win the PL is 19.4/1.

Throw Madrid in to with the CL and it's 184/1.

Would have to be a gun to the head to replace KP with Forshaw! For a start he is crocked more than he is fit. One thing which destroys team cohesion is constant changing around of personnel and then playing people out of position. I hope and pray we can keep hold of KP but as time goes along it is looking less likely

yeah he is crocked a lot to be fair... but in a playing sense, the way KP was before MB came in, I'd argue that he was worse then Forshaw ever was...

totally right about the crock issue though... was a super downfall last year...

Good point Spanish, KP used to get more stick than anybody before MB got hold of him. I think most wanted shut of KP whereas now we are desperate to keep him. Just shows I suppose, managers before MB all played him so must have seen something in him. It took the right coach and playing him in the right position for him to come good

agree tslufc, KP seemed to just run around like a headless chicken at times.. I think with MB, he had a clear role to play... played it very very well though

Sell him for 17m and go to City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and loan some of their top youth players like Derby and Villa have done.

No brainer
Sell

That really shows no brains..... some might say! 😃

I’ll go for option c

Keep all our best players, sign some good ones, and get fecking promoted

Let’s end this vicious circle that keeps killing us

LIW is not wrong.

If we can get rid of the 6-8 dead woods we have and bring in 3 quality players, we should be in great shape.

Hope we can do what you say Johnny, getting rid of the deadwood will not be easy, be lucky to give them away I fear. I just hope Bielsa is choosing the targets this time and not Orta as his track record is abysmal.

I'd go for Option C:

We should take Forshaw, give him a funky haircut and a goatee. Change his name by deed poll to "Kalvin Fillips" and sell him to Swansea for £20m.

Option A - I dont trust Orta with 17 mil

I wouldn't sell Phillips. I'd sell Clarke. Right now we need players ready to.play first team football and get us promoted. Phillips plays a unique role in this team and had a good season last year.

Selling him would be madness.

I agree with LIW!!! We have to stop selling our best players or this nightmare of constantly failing will never end.

Option D
Get rid of all the rubbish players, bring in quality and win the league.
Unfortunately we live in the real world.

thats just crazy enough to work.

if there is only a or b to choose from than a. all b would give us is no kalvin.

Forshaw is just not as good in that position. I cant believe people are saying that as a viable option to replace KP....
