This could be first thread to not end in an argument! I agree with the masses as well, can't argue with prices being frozen. Good work BFC.

Ward and Boyd are both older than him, so any talk of him being too old is nonsense. He's younger than Marney and Barton as well. Same age as Heaton. We're at a point where we need players capable of playing at PL level and with relevant experience to back it up. If this lad signs for 5 million and ...

This guy surely represents a step up in quality; certainly on paper he does. The guy has 90 odd caps for Japan for starters and they're a good team. He's also played 185 times for Inter Milan since 2010-2011. That might only represent around 25 games a season (clearly he's a squad player) but who el...

Given we have Defour, Marney, Barton, Hendrick, O'Neill and Arfield (at a push) I'm not too concerned that we've missed out on him. Our money is best diverted into areas where we lack quality and / or depth (left back and wingers then!).

jlup1980

Doesn't fit our framework. He didn't track back with Sunderland on NYE. He gave Ward as much space as he wanted. He'd need to spend some time with George Boyd to learn his craft.

Burnley bidding for players from Inter Milan. That's it now, I've seen it all!

Let's hope he isn't the difference between relegation and survival for Swansea!!

jlup1980

He was excellent in his final season with us. He finally looked like a player capable of putting in good performances consistently. He started well at Bolton too, then something happened and he just seemed to stop playing overnight. Very odd. I've nothing but kind words to say about him and all the ...

Not a chance we'll sign him if West Ham are after him as well. They'll offer wages we can't even consider offering. In fairness I hope they sign him, Hull are down without him.

jlup1980

I'd actually find it funnier if they came out and said they were looking to move on as soon as someone offers them a figure which covers all debts owed to them as a club... I wonder how much interest there would be if by offers start from at least £100 million?!

I'd be happy with 3 points from those two games if I'm honest. The run of away games doesn't look as daunting as it did before the season began as we play Swansea, Hull and Sunderland. All those three are games we're capable of winning and I believe we'll take 4 points from those 4 games at the very...

1000 copies? I dream of those figures now! That said, issue 130 is out on Saturday, and we have been going for 17 years, which isn't bad?! 17 years. Wow. Has it been that long?! I think I've been writing for you (on and off!) for 15 of those. 130 issues is mighty impressive in this day and age pal....

The attitude of some Rovers fans baffles me. They had their season in the sun under Uncle Jack and what an era it was for them; something they'll never forget. But they can't understand that it was all built on crumbly foundations. Spending above their means was never sustainable and The Venkys are ...

jlup1980

The lowest ranked team left in the competition at home please.

Obviously in reality we'll be away to another half decent side who mean nothing to us, attracts no excitement and ultimately leaves you wondering why anyone bothers with the Cup anymore - probably Middlesboro or Hull away!

jlup1980

For crossing ability I'd take Wade Elliott back. For wing wizardry it has to be Super Glen.

jlup1980

Could be a big loss for Eddie as he was starting to show some good form on the South Coast. Interesting to see Conte using the loan market in this way as well. He could easily have left him at Bournemouth until the end of the season but he clearly see's something in him. Surely a better option than ...

He's still waiting for his agent to receive a call from our club; so is that Riordan chap!

There's a big difference between being a good player for United, Everton or us. He was very good for Watford and according to a Wigan fan I know he was brilliant for them too. Regular starts make all the difference. Remember that Djemba Djemba was the worst player ever if you listen to United fans! ...

jlup1980

If the issue is this gambling debt can't we give him an incentive to clear it in the form of a bonus if we stay in the PL? Tell his agent he's got 5 months to be a hero and put himself in the shop window. If he hits certain targets (appearances, assists, goals etc) the more the bonus will be.

jlup1980

We'll do very well to gain 40 points this season, very well. That assumes 17 more points from 18 games; 5 wins, 2 draws and 10 defeats. I'd snap your hand off for that if it were offered!!

jlup1980

He's a player we should certainly be looking at. His work rate is ridiculous and he has both pace and flair. He would fit in the PL very well IMO. Obviously we need to take whatever precautions are deemed necessary in order to protect the club from his gambling addiction, but it shouldn't be a reaso...

Lansbury and Stephens are both out of contract at the end of this season aren't they? I suspect one of them will end up with us if the price is right. Lansbury wouldn't be a bad signing for somewhere around the £3 million mark. If we sign him on for 3 years and it doesn't work out after 12 months we...

Andre is the only player in our squad with any type of explosive nature. Yes he's limited but get him running at defenders and they're scared of him. He easily out-sprinted the Bournemouth back line the other week and almost scored. Given the zero pace / mobility we have out wide I'd say it's absolu...

King of The Pricks... Jason Cundy.

We need a change away from home. Three at the back and three in midfield might be the option, with Flanagan and Ward at wing backs? I don't know... we need to try something else away though!! ................Heaton .......Keane Tarkowski Mee Flanagan....................Ward .....Hendrick Defour Marn...

Don't worry guys. Out home form is amazing. Home wins against Bournemouth, Boro and Sunderland before the New Year will see us sitting pretty in mid-table

Are people really saying it's time for Dyche to go? We play Everton and United next. That'll take us to 10 games. Look back at the games we've played at that point and tell me a minimum of 7 points is a poor return. Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool, Everton, Leicester and Southampton were all in...

Yes I must add I've also been very impressed with Everton. Ronald Koeman is an excellent manager and he'll strive in an environment like Everton. The fans will get right behind him and he could drive them onto a Champions League finish. Williams was an excellent replacement for Stones; he and Jagiel...

jlup1980

I hope that we've learnt to be a little braver as our formation is hampering our chances of scoring a goal or two. We can't just surrender possession to the opposition every week at this level because we'll come out on the losing end a whole lot more than we will the winning end!! Whether we play 44...

Kind of, but only if he's planning on leaving next summer and the Board know. Maybe then we would pre-empt the change if there's a good option available for nothing!!

jlup1980

Questions need to be asked about the best way to compete at this level. Look at Watford. They got promoted and immediately replaced their Manager with someone they felt was better suited to help them survive the PL. It worked. Not for a second am I saying we should sack Sean, that would be madness, ...

We didn't have any outstanding home performances this season but Derby stands out as the one game that epitomises everything we stand for. Derby were clearly better in the first 45 but our defending was outstanding. Given all their possession and quality they only managed one goal in a dominant 45 m...

We could look back on Saturday as pivotal at the end of the season, but it might also mean that we only make 2nd place rather than 1st. In the grand scheme of things would anyone really care if that was the case!! I must admit it had a bad feeling about it though. I found out MK Dons had missed that...

Middlesborough are certainly the interesting one on this. I posted a message last week with a prediction for the end of the season based on the stats from the 10 games prior to the weekend. I had Hull winning the league on 89 points and us in 2nd on 88. Sheff Weds also got 88 points in 3rd and Boro ...
