so 29 more than 90% of our squad then, pretty much represents a full season

We could go the other way and say that he has played 17 times in European competitions, 6 Champions League & 11 Europa League, and in most of them he played the full 90 minutes.

Some Sheff Utd fans seem to think there’s an agreement that we back off Souza if the let us have Berge. Even with the sale of Ndiaye, they may need to sell Berge before replacing him, so not sure if that scenario fits. They were in a mess last season and not sure promotion has done anything to reli...

Certainly in terms of that midfield , where we are looking weak...bizarre that we havent strengthened in this vital part of the squad I think the Luton game being postponed has given us a little bit of breathing space, once we play City we have sixteen days till we play Villa and a lot of time on t...

I do remember in the early weeks of speculation regarding Lokonga , it was said he wanted to go to Spain. But with the past relationship with VK you would have expected his interest in signing for VK would have been a formality,but clearly not. I would assume that the delay now is that nobody else ...

If weghorst is to leave to go to Roma, do you think we might go in for akpom? Didn’t start for Boro today due to uncertainty about his future

£8 Million?

28 in October and only one season that reflects that price tag. Not sure we'd be in for him but you never know.

My mind might be playing tricks on me, weren't we heavily linked with Al-Dakhil last summer but an agreement couldn't be reached with Sint-Truiden, so we moved at the eleventh hour for Beyer, who worked out just fine. If we end up with the right players, I can cope with them arriving on deadline day...

I think slightly ‘overpaying’ on an absolute needs that definitely improves your starting XI is absolutely fair game. Unless by overpaying and possibly risking falling foul of FFP, we end up with less than we might have had by being patient. The only way to be proved right or wrong is to see where ...

i get you mate, what I would say is the fees reported will more than likely be utter crap. As just one example Nixon said we paid nowhere near the 'reported' price for Trafford. We know we didn't pay anything close to the reported price for Gibson a few years ago. We also don't know where the money...

Why not, there are fewer games per week in the PL. Last season, there was barely a spare week to work on things in training. So many midweek games hindered that. The City game could see us spending £200 Million and have all the players in by now and still get humped 4-0. The spare week after that g...

This season's start certainly feels like last season in that it's probably going to take a few games to work out who is who and who does what.

The week off could be a blessing in disguise for the coaching team and the players.

Great cause.

I'll order one, hope they sell out.

How could it be taking so long to announce Townsend? Are we stringing him along in the hope we get a better option?

or the other way around, a one year contract at his age has to be the right deal.

My generation had to grow up being told constantly about the title winning side of 1960 and how great they were. The Orient game was 27 years after winning the top flight and 11 years since we had played in that division. It's now more than 28 years since Blackburn bought the Premier League and 11 y...

My guess would be that it's been seen at the Turkish end and fans have put 2+2 together thinking it means he's after a move, better to unfollow than to keep batting away questions about it.

So is the Lokonga deal a permanent then ? Sacha says the meeting was about personal terms, if it was a loan deal then surely that would be a discussion we had with Arsenal and not the player ? Not sure about the process but if it's a loan with a permanent move next summer, then wouldn't we need to ...

Crazy stuff - can all the stories today be true? Lokonga I think we can confirm is true.

It’s almost like Tella played a different role than Benson or Zaroury…. He was the guy on the end of those and our in behind threat. The system changed when Benson was on the field. Tella offers something very different. All have been important in our success last season. Yes, just about what my po...

Goody1975

I'm in the middle on the Tella debate. He had some marvelous performances but also had stretches of ineffective ones, at 17 league goals he was our top scorer but 8 of those came in 3 games. He scored in 12 games in all- Benson bagged in 10 and Jay in 9. Stats can be made to fit any narrative, ther...

VK has to take a large amount of praise for the way he has taken JBG in and out of the side when necessary.

He can't play three times a week on a regular basis.

The priority would be to improve the view for a large proportion of the seats we already have, the ridiculous decision to build the lower tier of the Longside at pitch level being a prime example. There are seats with restricted views (supporting pillars) in both the Bob Lord and Cricket Field stand...

It's a step up so you can't compare the two seasons side by side but the players who came in during the January window will benefit massively from a full pre season with the rest of the group. Last season was so relentless that there probably wasn't time to work on a lot of things on the training gr...

Dean was one of the only referees that you were confident of giving decisions against the big six without hesitation.

I'd never have got that right if it was a quiz question. I would have said much earlier. In a way you are correct, as a stand alone show it did start in 1985 but Saint & Greavsie were on World of Sport in a segment called 'On the Ball' much earlier than 1985.

Connor Coady (30) available for around £4m
Reasonably cheap for someone with plenty of PL experience and would make our CB's up to four without having to loan THB again

Very good on the ball but milk turns quicker, suited to a back three where he has protection or teams who sit deep.

Goody1975

Jack Clarke is similar in style to Churlinov and the form he showed for Sunderland is probably what we hoped Darko was going to produce for us.

The injury meant it was a case of, what could have been unfortunately.

Woah, a whole 22 VAR appointments and 6 PL games for the VAR and 5 games for the ref where VAR was used backs my point up entirely so thanks very much, it is another complete PGMOL failure - why did the Championship have Michael Oliver and not Tim Robinson (or whoever who has 225+ games) ?

You forgot to add the numerous occasions that the player winning the ball gets penalised in games every week because he has gone in too hard. We are seeing the ball won quite fairly and players being penalised and also, in some instances, being cautioned. The ball no longer matters in the modern ga...

Except that we've seen plenty of players get sent off when they've won the ball cleanly, which puts paid to that argument. Where have we seen this?

Every tackle is two players going for the ball, the one who misses the ball and kicks the man gives a foul away, that is the same all over the pitch.

The problem with VAR is you can have identical incidents on two separate matches that end up with different decisions, when these are game changing decisions you have to question, what is the point of VAR at all?

48 game season could be ruined by one bad decision

Exactly the premise that VAR was sold to us on.

Having seen it introduced into other sports I said it would do more harm than good, I am yet to see the positives outweigh the negatives.

Goody1975

They say they don't want games re-refereeing, but that is so pivotal that it should be rubber stamped by the referee.
