Sad day I think to see the end of replays - particularly for the smaller clubs in the competition. Just imagine a League Two club holding a top team to a draw at home and not having the money coming in from the replay. Another nail in the FA Cup coffin for me is this. The positive though could be t...

Do you think Borussia Dortmund will be in for Charlie Taylor to replace Maatsen after he returns to Chelsea given that he is the stronger player?

Where did I mention anything about Charlie Taylor??

bumba

Just shows how little half the posters on here know, NewcastleClaret and his mob couldn’t wait to slag off Maatsen. I was critical of Maatsens defensive ability but can't say I've seen much of his action at Dortmund to see if much has changed. His attacking ability was never in doubt. Do I believe ...

I reckon £10m gets it done given contract and financial state of the club. Surely they will not let him be Diaz v2 and leave on a free

I agree but I hope they do and his next season is back to it's unproductive self

bumba

How much do you think he will go for? He has just been named Championship player of the year and is all over the media. Even with only 12 months left on his contract there will be several Premier League clubs after him including all three promoted clubs. £30 million won’t be too far off the mark. O...

bumba

Isn't he out of contract? So a pretty cheap option for the number 10 role. He has the potential to be a really good player from what I've seen if he can add numbers to his game Not sure on his contract think it's up this summer but the club have a 12 month option but suppose depending on funds they...

How many did Barnes get the season before and most have argued that it was a bad decision to let him go. As you say it's not always about goals. I'd also be interested in Dolan from them his goal record is crap but he is technically really impressive. Who would Dolan take the place of? He isn't eve...

Who would we be able to sell to raise the circa 30 million to buy him?

£30 million for a 28 year old with 12 months of his contract left for a club £300 million in debt and owners who now cannot put money in to the club? I doubt it to be honest.

bumba

In all seriousness do England have the two most in form players in the premier league this season? Palmer and Foden are looking out of this world at the moment These two on current form should be starting with Saka behind Kane, frightening front four that should be a joy to watch but Southgate will...

bumba

I agree. He was fantastic pre Injury but since he's been back his fitness has been unacceptable. Firstly, he was clearly brought back to soon so I think the majority took it quite easy on any criticism but personally I thought his performance was unacceptable on Saturday especially in the second ha...

How embarrassing that this Everton have taken 6 pts off us, dumped us out the cup, had 8 PTS deducted and are still out of sight

You could use that extra £2mil add it to the £15mil for the rumoured/reported £15mil tresor obligation throw in a extra mil you have adam Wharton who's already looking double more than palace shelled out. It's insane recruitment.

It gets worse the more we think about it

Southgate will take Rashford before him though

It will probably feature on 'Ref Watch' on Sky Sports News @ 11:30. I think the panel and Dermot Gallagher will agree it should have been given. Gallagher and Sue something said definitely a penalty and he was very lucky, Warnock said there's a case the defender stepped across his man shielding the...

Benson and Zaroury signed 5 year deals so I guess that’s our choice. I think a lot of the fan speculation about deep rooted unhappiness is wide of the mark and more a side effect of us as a fanbase only being used to having a strong 11 and weaker bench in recent years. I’m sure both will be fine to...

We’d absolutely walk the division with: Muric/Trafford Sambo Beyer Esteve Roberts Cullen Berge Koleosho Amdouni Odobert Whittaker VK needs to figure out our future number 1 and sell the other. You can even put Vitinho left back if Roberts goes. Anass if Odobert leaves. Everybody else for me can go,...

Also saw some other comments about his total lack of fitness when he arrived which tallies up with what we are seeing from a lot of our team at the moment

Our fitness as a team currently seems atrocious, we have a decent first 45 then look completely shot in the second half every game

bumba

I’ve heard about this lad but every time I’ve watched him (which isn’t often, I admit) he neither scores or looks particularly good. The Leicester game being an example where I thought he looked pretty poor against decent opposition. I wouldn’t be swapping Zaroury or Benson for him anyway - not tha...

We even forget the likes of Ramsey, who will be a huge player for us next season and probably going forward, his career here hasn’t got off to a great start which has falsely led fans to believe hes a poor signing and not good enough for the PL, hes a kid with huge potential and has shown he’s a st...

bumba

Another vote for Morgan Whittaker, big strong quick nice left foot, can play through the middle or off the right, looks to be similar to Watkins. I think he’ll be a very good PL forward in a few years. Would love Whittaker but think we'd struggle unless we made a lot of money from the fire sale but...

Tella

if we had last seasons team, in the championship now - we would be miles clear of Leicester and Leeds

That wasn't my point, my point was the team now isn't as good as our team last season.

bumba

Definitely stays in, two costly indefensible errors but his return to the team has put us on the best run of form this season plus he's made some massive saves. Anybody saying Muric has cost us premier league football is on the wind up despite these two errors they are not the reason we are going do...

The top 3 in the Championship are nowhere near the standard we set last season.

Neither are we though, that's the problem.

Player's like Twine, Mcnally Brownhill will be sold for little or no profit player's like Benson or Zaroury would be priced out of a move to the championship, Premier league team's won't come in so it's European club's and do they have the money to buy them they won't go cheap compared to what's ou...

All ifs buts and maybes..... Like I said fake news

The club will have put relegation clauses in to the wages, certain players will have only signed with relegation clauses to sell on their side too, that's football.

bumba

They can ask all they want but they all have long contracts the club hold all the cards, they decide if the player goes not the player The days a football club decides are long gone, if a player wants to go they will get their move. Our finances say we'll sell. The club's owners said the model is t...

So who wants to leave then? Are you seriously that naive? CT has already stayed on here that Roberts was desperate to get out of the club and isn't the only one.

What could be gained from it in the contract though? I don't believe it's true. What could the options be if we fail to play him in 75% of the games..... He gets paid money? - staying up would cover the cost. His release clause to City is lower? - winner for us. He gets a release clause to go elsewh...

bumba

He thinks possession means we are playing better than the other team, the worrying thing with VK is he still hasn't figured out teams allow us possession because they know we'll make mistakes and gift them chances.
We are too weak defensively and error prone, it's easy to play against.

bumba

You’re talking about Benson having the season of his life in the Championship. You wanna moan about Amdouni being lazy? Would Benson get the same criticism?

Heard this on the radio where they was saying it was a shocker, I've now watched it and I'm not sure why they think it's so bad, it's a foul for me.

Muric 5 stupid decision at that time
Assignon 4
Taylor 5
O Shea 5 harsh red for me though
Esteve 6
Cullen 6

Odobert 5 carrying him at times
Bruun Larsson 5

Fofana 4

Vitinho 5 very strange sub
Rodriguez 5
JBG 5
Brownhill 5
Amdouni 5

bumba

Not calling for him to go but the Vitinho for Fofana sub when chasing a game we need to win was very baffling. It was calling out for Benson. Think we was unlucky with the red, McNeil was never going to reach it so it isn't denying a goalscoring opportunity and was on the halfway line. He couldn't w...

Obafemi Martin.. although I’d be happy for him to be back up. I can’t see them not activating Brownhills extension is we can get a few quid for him, he’d be handy back up in the championship I just wouldn’t want him to get more than a year. Koleosho is just an educated guess, hence the word probabl...

bumba

Fingers crossed he's being sold but I imagine he was actually just ill.
We've a better young keeper as our number 1 who could be number 1 for the next 10 years or sold for much more than Trafford

bumba

The scary thing is the referee is in an excellent position with nobody blocking his view and at an angle that clearly shows him the gap between the two players, it's shocking he still gives a foul.

1 from: Muric/ Trafford 2 from: O’Shea/Esteve/Beyer/ Ekdal 2 from: Cullen/Berge/ Brownhill 1 from: Foster We can go on all day about the need to keep Koleosho, Odobert, Zaroury, Benson, etc… But wingers make you decent money and new wingers can be sourced. Keep the vast majority of this spine and w...

I can’t see us selling Odobert in the summer we’d be lucky to get 20 million, he could be worth twice if not more in a couple of years. Also Koleosho probably won’t be fit until October.
