Long Time Lurker

I still think Stuart Armstrong could be a better shout for some of our transfer money, in respect to his creative passing and his ability to play as an energetic attacking midfielder who drops back to bolster our central midfield. I wouldn't say that he is the most technically gifted player, the typ...

Jay and Dawson are quality players that would add to our team. We could possibly do better for the money, and easily do a lot worse, but taking everything into account they would be respectable buys for £25m that would improve us. If I had to leave one behind it would be Jay, even though he is the m...

Had we been interested in him, the summer transfer window of last year was the best opportunity for us to make a move and break the bungee cord that keeps him tied to London. Chasing him during this window would have been a complete waste of time and effort. That's why I left him out of my possible ...

If Mee is to go, then James Chester is a not dissimilar sort of player, and another leader/communicator, so it wouldn't greatly surprise me to see us try and exploit Villa's instability to land him as a replacement. In respect to his playing style I would agree, but I think they would still ask for...

Hi Brian, I'm pretty sure the club's budget will start with an assessment of all the existing resources and the costs associated with those resources. Then there will be consideration of where the club ended the season and plans will be made for the next season - which includes Europa League, but r...

Grealish would be a good player if he didn’t dive constantly. Always the same, for a good indication of how much time he spends on the ground you just need to look at the colour of his shorts in comparison to every other player.

He has been in and out of a pretty sh-ite Swansea side on the last couple of years....where their midfield has been especially weak. Not sure on what basis he would improve our side.

Disappointing today. A fortunate goal to go ahead and then we gift wrapped the win for them.

Long Time Lurker

Given a replacement would need a fee plus wages, is £80k per week for 4 years (circa £17m) too much? Yes I like the fact that Sean is currently the top earner. It establishes a good hierarchy and illustrates that he is more than a manager. Working closely with the board he is also partly responsibl...

I know that some people have directed a little negativity towards Jeff for his offensive midfield role, but I think he deserves a huge amount of praise.

As others have said I'm not really sure where he would fit into the greater scheme of things. We only have three spaces in the 25 to fill, not taking into account any departures during the window.

it's my understanding that WBA insist on relegation clauses so they won't be on what they are on next season.

I wouldnt say clearly ahead, but he was pure class today. Put in a superb performance for the full 94mins and really made a difference to the final outcome. Without him we would have come away 2-1 or 3-1 winners. Stoke will be hard pressed to keep hold of him if they go down.

Kevin Long was excellent throughout, with the outstanding contributions of a goal and a vital block. Well done that man.

Very important game and win, but we need to lower the nerve jangling tension. I'm not sure I will have enough serenity to see out the season at this rate.
