Wolves have apparently agreed a fee of £5-6 million for João moutinho. That's not a bad price for a player of his quality. Maybe the club needs to look at buying shares in a Football Agents company... On top of which you can probably add a big signing on fee, a big agents fee and huge wages. What m...

He makes brilliant runs and gets himself into some really good positions but then invariably makes the wrong decision. So frustrating.

Another point I would make is that Dyche is more of an on old school club manager with full control over everything that goes on, which means a hands on coaching approach is probably just not doable. I would assume Gerard is much less involved in the day to day running of the club at Rangers and pur...

To be fair, Tripps looks a lot slimmer now than he did when he played for us.

Best and Maradonna were both amazing dribblers too. I think Ronaldo is the better all round player ... pace, power, skill, vision, a leader and a winner

kaptin1

Messi has been so poor. Yes he has had very little service, but he’s got to put more effort in to get the ball. Maradonna had the ability to take an average side and make it into a winning side. Messi just disappears when it’s not going his way. He might be one of the most skillful players we have e...

I prefer Ronaldo to Messi, I think Messi has the better close control, technique and dribbling ability but I'd rather watch Ronaldo any day. Pace, power, aerial threat and the ability to score spectacular goals out of nowhere like last night and the one against Juventus in the CL. A lot of Messi's ...

Cometh the hour...

Ronaldo is simply brilliant. Every touch, every pass, every header, every shot achieves something positive. He is incredibly productive. Spain have 11 world class players. Portugal have 10 average players and 1 who is just on another planet to everyone else!

kaptin1

He looks a lot leaner these days. When he played for us he always looked on the verge of becoming a bit tubby. Maybe he was Dyche fat as against Dyche fit...

Great player though.

Burnley fans might find it inconceivable but it could just be that Ben fancies a change of scene, rather like Arfield, his best mate. When he signed as a 22 year old - or whatever he was - he mightn’t have exepected to see out his career with us. His next decision is a career defining one, so it mi...

I'm told he had nothing to do with the Trippier and Mee signings, certainly when they came in on loan. He targeted Shackell from the previous year though and the three strikers all proved to be terrific signings. Mike Garlick told me that he never wanted to be at Burnley and he's admitted himself s...

Can we just get behind the guy and support him? He’s clearly someone who needs to feel wanted to get the best out of him. Back him and I’m sure he’ll deliver more often than not. Depression is a horrible illness and I wouldn’t want to see him go back into that state of mind again.

kaptin1

This is typical Arsenal ... a bunch of flat track bullies. When it matters no-one shows up but when there is nothing to play for they are the best team in the world. Would have been nice to end the season with positive goal difference though. Need to make sure we beat Bournemouth now by at least a t...

He needs the ball playing into space for him to run on to. Seemed to keep getting passed to with his back to goal and then just got forced back. Some sloppy passing though.

Who are the viable alternatives to Rodriguez who are under 30, have significant PL experience, are capable of 10+ goals/season, are better than what we have already got and who won't cost well over £20m and completely smash our wage structure?

I really don’t get all the negativity towards Walters on this board. He has been unfortunate with injury, but is a proven player at this level and still not too old to do a good job. I hope he recovers and really proves the doubters wrong next season. We are going to need a deeper squad if we make i...

Presumably by declaring it ‘not proven’ rather than ‘not guilty’ then it restricts Jay’s ability to claim Bong lied.

Didn’t he pick up a similar injury towards the end of last season or was that something different?

kaptin1

At the end of the day, Pickford, Butland and Hart all have much more experience than Pope at picking the ball out of the back of their own net, something that will no doubt be required as England's number 1.
