Good point but I could imagine Lampard being a little smarter and hard-working than most. At worst it would certainly be interesting to watch how he does.

Holtyclaret

My boss didn't mention him, he's slightly full of bs normally but seems to be 90%+ on Lampard. One of Franks best mates in the game is an Oxford Director.

Holtyclaret

After 20 years in the Oxford area I still have no affiliation to Oxford United. I find them a bit meh despite some recent and relative success in the last couple of years. Awful three-sided ground, all a bit souless. Anyway, my boss who is a fan has it on good authority, via a Director than Frank La...

I'd say we need a blend of youth and experience personality.

So you'd all trust Dyche to find a strikers capable of getting 10-15 goals at this level after signing the likes of Vossen, Sordell and Chris Long? Yes I would, there's plenty out there without leaving these shores but now with Butterfield, our Euro super scout I'd expect one UK based incoming and ...

Signs Monday apparently when his Leeds contract expires, as pointed out on t'other rather long thread.

Holtyclaret

Absolutely no chance we'll sign Robertson now. Great first bit of business that. Right age to glean what he can from Wardy and can ease himself into our LB slot without being dropped in it from day one. Really adds to the squad.

Jays reported to be discussing a £12 million move to baggies so I'd say v close with valuations as they both stand. If they both stay fit and have good seasons that could be a lot more next summer.

Holtyclaret

I believe the players staying up bonus was linked to league position in that they received a % of the extra cash pot earned for each place higher in the league.

Holtyclaret

Mmmm just read that mirror article, we're after qpr's lb too?

If all true we'd have enough lb's to Chelsea them all out on loan worldwide!

Holtyclaret

Me too Steve but I said IF we signed both. Don't think we will though and we'll have Wardy and one other which would be great.

Holtyclaret

Great news, him or Robertson would be great signings. Both would surely see Wardy move on who was in my top three players of last year.

Former Ajax boss Frank de Boer has today been offered the manager's job at Crystal Palace, according to reports in the Netherlands. De Boer, 47, masterminded four Dutch League titles during six years in charge of Ajax, while Inter Milan sacked the former Barcelona player after just 85 days in charge...

There is bound to be some truth in it somewere down the line I think the only truth in it could be that the Palace board have made a list of potential new managers and seans on that list. I might draw up a list for potential new wives but it doesn't mean it will come to fruition. 1) Rachel Riley 2)...

Was discussed briefly on talk sport this morning about 7.30 on my way to work. They were of the opinion that Dyche being the one for Palace was moving closer. Though they did not give any insight into their reasoning. Heard that too, a couple of times this week. I think they were just reacting to t...

Holtyclaret

Technically next season is our fourth in the PL and their first. I'd say they are in an equivalent position to our second promotion. I'd expect them to sign more players than us as they are starting from scratch and we should just be topping up our squad/replacing players that leave. It'll be intere...

Somebody on Wiki having a laugh - Thomas Christiansen Tarín (born 11 March 1973) is a retired footballer who played as a striker, and current head coach of Leeds United FC. Upon accepting the Leeds United job Thomas sprouted a halo and will now be known as GOD. A mighty white GOD. Left-footed, he pl...

I wouldn't have Mawson personally but I reckon £17m for Maguire makes Keane £30m plus.

Holtyclaret

In todays ludicrous and majorly mental transfer market, I would have gone to £20m for him (if Brady was £14m last year), absolute maximum. Looks like it might take a lot more. Wow.

Must be best time to play them (if there is a best time), get in their faces and aye aye Ashley on the wind up! UTC

Holtyclaret

Personally don't like him. He scored a great goal against Leicester live on telly and he got big plaudits. Looked a bit shaky towards the end of the season. I'd like us to try and build in a replacement within the Keane deal to maybe land someone we might not do otherwise, either another Keane (youn...

it was posted by his brother stuart just after the last game of the season, if its the one you're looking for.

I'm probably being thick but if we allow SA to leave on a free next summer it will cost us £2.5m (or whatever we can convince someone to pay, up to £5m?) in theory plus his wages and bonus to keep him for next year. That's less than Bournemouth are paying for Defoe. As said above, love SA to bits an...

Really struggling to remember, something tells me it brought us back to 3-1 but you may well be right. CT help!!

Holtyclaret

Does that mean we don't need reserve players,or that you think we can get a better reserve for significantly less than £2.5m? If we sign better wingers, fair enough; but for now, Arfield has a vital role at the club and his loss could be crucial. No, it means I feel we can do better. That £2.5m wou...

Snap their hand off. Scott has done an amazing job over the last few years but although nice to have in the squad as back up, I feel we need to be at a level above the likes of Arfield to become a stable PL team.

Think we were actually 1-0 down at the time and Mumby`s header was the equaliser which took the game back to the Turf (awful replay). There was bedlam in the away end indeed and that was the game of the infamous Pearce `tackle` on Hamilton (actually think BOTH players raised their boots). Always re...

I said before things get out of hand. There's an increasing amount of reports, now on a daily basis, all probably unfounded. If there's nothing in it, say so. That is all.

Holtyclaret

Think its time for a short statement from Dyche before things get out of hand. I personally wouldn't think there is anything in this and all the reports seem devoid of any actual facts, but I'd think knock it on the head if there's nothing in it. I'd have Garry Monk if the worst came to the worst or...
