  1. He couldn't wait to leave us and I don't think he would be in a hurry to drop a division to return. Nice thought though.
  2. If we didn't want to play him we wouldn't have asked for him on loan. Their demands for players they want to loan out are unreasonable. Fines for not picking their players enough..
  3. Who do Liverpool think they are to apparently ask us to sell our best player in order to get one of their kids for a season? I look forward to the days when we can meet them again on an even playing field and beat them as we did more than once in the past knocking their self satisfied smug grins off their faces in doing so!
  4. I think we may come to regret not doing a deal for Woodburn but Liverpool it seems made it difficult for us to do so. I like the Abraham link he could prove to be a smurftastic signing for us.
  5. Yes I've been trying to keep quiet about that because most Noses have not realised that we would have been playing Cardiff in the play-off final had they not stopped Fulham getting automatic promotion on the last day and I for one think we would have had a far better chance of doing Cardiff at Wembley than Fulham. Let's keep it our secret shall we?
  6. He plays cricket for England and is a very good all rounder. He hits the ball for six as well as the occasional bloke outside a Bristol night club allegedly.
  7. I would really love it if we signed Woods but I suspect paying the sort of fee Brentford would want for him would be the sticking point.

    Pre-match thread

    Dreamt we went a goal up and then went on to lose 2-1 the other night. That's not going to happen I trust. Won't be an easy game up there but we really should have won there last season and need to hit the ground running this season. I'm thinking a close game with us shading it 85-0!
  9. I was surprised that West Ham signed Hugill and the step up hasn't paid off yet. I think he could do a job for us this season but would doubt a loan can be agreed for him or for Powell.
  10. Pity. I'm sure he would have got games with us. Perhaps they have offered a better deal to Liverpool money or game wise. I suppose it was too good to be true that they would loan us someone decent.
  11. I understand he is named after his grandfather. On the smoking issue, sorry to hear it did for your Grandad it did for my parents as well. So I agree 100% - Stub Smoking Out!
  12. It would be a cheeky way to get him back as a player by dangling a coaching role as a part of the offer but I can't see £15k a week clinching the deal.
  13. This would be an exciting signing. He will make it with Liverpool and is already an international. I agree that we don't want to be blocking our own talented youngsters but we also don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. Woodburn is a special talent and we will do very well to get him.
  14. Thanks. We are very much hoping he can have a great season with us and give you that chance to see him play at the lane next season in a claret & blue shirt. Watch out for us making a take it or leave it £50m offer to Levy for Harry next summer.
  15. Looking forward to the Ben Woodburn's on fire celebrations next season.
  16. I think you will get your wish. This could be some season for Jake.
  17. Woodburn is an outstanding prospect. If we can bring him in he will score goals for fun at our level. A good deal for Liverpool as it will give him games and for us as his goals may make a big difference to our final league placing. Get it done quickly!
  18. That ex-Nose Stoke manager must really think we're thick! They need a central defender and want Adam off their payroll. We turn down a bid for our captain and best defender and they think they can add Adam to the deal and no doubt reduce their offer as well. Let's see what else is there not to like about this? Strengthening a potential promotion rival and weakening our own team perhaps?
  19. If we were able to bring back Snodders (and rumour has it that we are interested in doing so) that would seem to me to be a Bruce choice rather than a Mendes one.
  20. Levy had been trying to do exactly that with us when he was looking to take Jack off our hands.
  21. We can do better with £7m if we have it.
  22. Looks like we are giving Bono and Rick Harrison (from TVs "Pawn Stars") a try as wing backs.
  23. Boro want £16m for Bamford and I read in The Times today that Liverpool want £20m for Danny Ings (who has had two serious knee injuries since signing from Burnley 3 years ago). Yet Levy wants to pay a similar amount for Jack. Using these prices the asking price should be £50m minimum for Jack!
