I think Poch would want to keep Kaboul and possibly Livermore, but the rest I agree very much about. Not likely to suit him much
No, the refusal to assess individual players on account of a huge overarching premise is simply lazy and ignorant. You'll note I never said anywhere he's a crap player or anything that resembles "writing him off," simply that it'd be advantageous to the general squad to cash in on a very valuable, not particularly contributory, asset and use the funds to build where we have other needs. Some of the other players I'd like to sell will likely not generate the funds needed to build us, especially if Lloris and Vertonghen are managed to be convinced to stay.
Paulinho's agent must be amazing
BUT HE'S BRAZILIAN
I think Kaboul will be let go of this summer, regardless of how Poch rates him. He has looked tremendously slow and it's hurt us quite a few times. Wouldn't be surprised to see Poch (if he's the choice), cash in and go for a younger option from elsewhere (as he did with Lovren last year).

Oh please, by all means, go on and continue to flaunt your ignorance and lack of education in front of everyone.
I pretty much don't read most of the shite you post. You think you are way smarter than you actually are when it comes to footy. How you can rate Holtby so highly but write off Pauli makes no sense. You are a perfect example of the football manager generation. But hey carry on with your long tedious posts full of utter guff just don't expect me to read any of them.
This is a football forum. You think flowery prose is a good idea in this environment? You are bending over backwards to sound intelligent. Trying way too hard.

The fact that's even excessive diction or "trying" to you is the issue. Every word used is appropriately utilized.
BTW football is a working class sport in the UK. Hell it's a third world sport too. Harry Redknapp can hardly read and write. Your comments reflect badly on you and you can't even see it. How many times do you have to drop that you are studying xyz to think you can get a foot up on a football argument?

Guy, you insulted my sense of reality and intellect initially in every single discussion we've ever had.
Add drama queen to your list of wankery.
You recoiled and attempted to reverse accusations, typical display of "avoidance response."
"Intensely stupid?" - Do you completely discount the possibility that megabucks clubs may, on occasion, talk to players' agents and say that they will come in for their boy if he can cut a year or two in the Premier League?
