Wonder what Roberts is thinking having signed a contract extension only to then see us sign Walker and Tuanzebe who can both play in his position?

Taking Newcastle players in part exchange would surely mean paying a smaller sell on fee to Man City

Or sending them an arm of the new player in the post

kaptin1

You can take these headline valuations with a pinch of salt as a lot will depend on deal structure and who the buying club is. For example, it may be just as attractive to sell for £35m paid up front versus £50m spread over five years. Time value of money and credit risk of the buyer both need to be...

Burnley were 9th, PNE been 24th.

80 yellows, 2 sent off, 1 for 2 yellows (can’t remember who) and a straight red.

Didn’t Humphreys get sent off for two yellows at Leeds?

Maybe it’s 80% of those that can be shown live on tv in UK, so excludes Saturday 3pm kickoffs.

Must have been really hard for Joe to leave Forest, being a fan. Would have been easy for him to have sulked this season too, given his lack of game time for us following the rise of CJ, but from what I have seen he as been the model professional. Seems like a good character to have around.

Great tactical play from SP to help Roberts out when they brought Rak-Sakyi on was the right move though

Didn't Rak-Sakyi play on their right ... so was up against Pires?

Contracts mean nothing

Contracts mean compensation

kaptin1

Suspect CJ and Brownhill will either sign new contracts in next couple of weeks or we will move on to other options. As much as I’d like them both to stay, we afford to spend half the summer waiting for them to decide while they see if a better offer comes along.

kaptin1

I agree with Jordan. Parker was rightly sacked from both jobs and as an out of work manager was lucky to get the Burnley job, but that shouldn’t detract from the fact that he has learned from his mistakes, grabbed this opportunity with both hands, conducted himself impeccably in the process and ulti...

Better than pope and Heaton Hard to say I think. Trafford was awful in the Prem last year but was inexperienced and also exposed by a poor defence and set up. He has been tremendous this season but a level down and with a much better defence and set up. I think he has got better at coming for high ...

The odds are very much in our favour, but if Sheff U beat us and Stoke on Friday night then we will go into the final two matches a point behind them but with a game in hand. That could make for a very nervy end to the season.

I imagine Sheff U will probably need to win all their remaining matches to stand any chance of finishing top 2. Even then, 2 wins and a draw from our other 3 matches would see us finish above them in goal difference. It’s not over yet but our form probably needs to collapse from here.

Sarmiento does a lot without actually doing anything.

Sums him up perfectly. He’s a busy fool. Can’t fault his effort but just doesn’t seem to have a footballing brain. Hangs on to the ball too long and makes poor decisions. He’s more suited to doing ball skill tricks in Trafalgar Sq.

Leeds win, draw, Sunderland win, all results could be argued to be good for us.

The reality is that we’re virtually guaranteed a play off spot so a Sunderland win would keep automatic promotion closest.

Agreed, Sunderland win is best

Suspect player won't want to go to Hull given they are also in the relegation zone and only three points above Plymouth. So even if they offer more than us, chances are he would dig his heels in and push to come to us instead.

Ekdal is a very good player but he’s also very injury prone. If we can get a can get a reasonable fee for him then we should let him go.

I actually think people are underrating him on the ball.

I've been pleasantly surprised with his technical attributes.

I agree. I thought he played two or three really good balls inside the full back to play Hannibal in at Sheff U.

He's improved this season due to the lower level and not having as much to do but feel Hladky and Green would be fine until the summer if we get the right money and a sell on clause then I'd be tempted so we can strengthen in other areas. Sometimes selling one players gives you a stronger squad if ...
