The twisted thing with Gibson is that he'll leave and then we lose Tarks or Mee to a lengthy injury. Then those same people who said that Gibson was a waste of a transfer will say we should have kept him, to cover the injury. Yet if neither gets injured, those same posters will continue to say he wa...

(unless it’s tied to a deal that allows us to sign Phillips if they don’t).

I can't imagine that being a game changer in a deal, as it's proving harder for them to get out of the top 2, even when they lose 3 games on the bounce.

No surprises that Leeds are now back in for Vydra.

Leeds are going up lads, there's nothing we can do about it. They will unfortunately be one of the biggest teams in the PL and will be on Sky for the rest of eternity. I'm trying to get used to the fact that they are going up. The consistency of the teams around them is dreadful. The competition ju...

Leeds will get at least a point.
WBA trying their best to not take advantage - happens far too often. If Leeds drop points, the teams around them often also drop points.

Annoying.

Brownhill in
Gibson, Wells/Vydra/both out, Dunne going out on loan too, so would think a CB will be arriving too

3 out
2/3 in

Will be a busy window for us.

And a forward in, if both Wells/Vydra leave.

Gibson linked with a loan move to Watford:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football ... n-burnley/

Thought to include an option to buy.

I thought this had already been rejected?

FactualFrank

How about loaning Gibson to a Chanpionship side but we have the option of recalling him at any time? That way he gets to play some football and if Mee or Tarks get injured he can step in and be match fit, rather than having barely played for 18 months. If he gets a lengthy injury, we won't be able ...

FactualFrank

To sell Gibson in this window weakens us massively. If either of Mee or Tarks picks up an injury, people on here would be SCREAMING about another disastrous window. Tbh, I’d only be happy with one of the other two you mention leaving this month. Barnes out for a while and we have no one really read...

Just seen the first 4 episodes this morning.

The first 2 episodes, I had to keep reminding myself it was from a Stephen King novel, as it just seemed like any other crime drama.

It seems pretty good though, but you have to pay attention as some of it is quite bizarre.

There were people preferring an FA cup and relegation to survival but there were also people preferring a win today compared to a win vs Arsenal.

Not sure where the idea people would have preferred us to win today than in the league comes from. There wasn't. There were people preferring an FA Cup final/win even if it meant us being relegated. They would have swapped the Wembley one-off final even if it meant we dropped to the Championship.

I think like Joker. Phoenix was brilliant playing the character he was asked to play. But like Joker the film was trying too hard to be too clever, mysterious and dark.

Agreed, but you also have to provide young players who are performing well, albeit at U23 level, a route into the first team. Even giving them time from the bench doesn't seem to be an option in these games. McNeil flourished as a result of injuries to others. It's a balancing act. I think overall,...

We've had posters have a pop regarding our players in the past (I had the brunt of it with Wood and Taylor after suggesting we sign them), but all players have had dips in form.
