Seems a sensible shrewd move this. I agree, CB is not an area I’d look to upgrade now. I think we are a starting CM short of having an excellent squad. Will need a back up keeper again for next season and maybe a quality striker, but unless we have outgoings we should be set for next season.

I think we would regret him going. But sometimes things need changing to really push us in to the next level. If we got £40 million that’s a £25 million profit. Still, I think I’d do all we can to get him to sign a new contract.

I quite like Everton to be honest and would much rather they stay up than the likes of Leeds, Burnley, Watford and Newcastle.

On the bench tonight. Hope he gets some decent minutes against the Baggies.

Think we recouped what was spend on Samaria pretty much?

Another solid game. Nothing better than an academy prospect playing like this. He is going to be an absolute star.

Very very slim chance this season - lost too many already. All about momentum now and a strong transfer window. Next season is the big one.

Absolutely outstanding. Any compilations if his game today?

All about the win that. I for one am delighted we won as we did. We know we can play good football and we will get much better. This one was about courage and we don’t see these type of wins from Villa all that often.

Huge game. 2.5 weeks off after this. Need to build momentum. Will be a real tough test.

Go on Deano!!

Get the **** in!!!! Clear we are on the verge of something big here.

Does he start tomorrow…?

Haha McGinn. He is essential to this squad.

Definitely missed McGinn - he is an absolute terrier and when on it sets the tone.

This for me. I think next season has to be the big push for top 6!

Bellingham getting so many plaudits - quite rightly - but Ramsey is doing it in a tougher league. I can definitely see them both playing CM for England in years to come.

I agree with most of this. However, Grealish’s weight of pass was absolutely sublime. I’d say Buendia’s vision and desire to speed up the game is better.

Frustrating and terrible decision making recently. However, I’d still have him over Ings who has been poor all season. So annoying not to have either playing well as the decision on which to bench would be made easier. With the players we have supplying them there are no excuses.

How much do you think he’s now worth? 20 years of age and developing his all round game. Pundits and opposition fans really taking note. Matter of time before an England call up based on his current trajectory. Fair play to Deano and Gerrard for their belief and work with him. Perfectly handled so far.

He booted a bottle that went into the crowd. I’m really pleased to see him apologise and so he should. I thought he was really strong yesterday. More minutes under his belt and we have a player here. Get a solid DCM in and we have some decent competition. Do think Luiz may move on - shame because despite his faults he oozes class.

he signs. Could be huge for us.

I’m so excited to see how good Ramsey is going to become. Scary talent. That second half was unbelievable. We need a local lad like this. I love his attitude on the pitch as well - he was sarcastically laughing at Lindeloff when he got fouled on the edge of the box. Against Norwich he started giving the rocket polisher sign to the crowd after scoring

I was very critical at points in the match thread - first 30 mins with good reason. However, that second half was brilliant. Clear game plan and some of the interplay was a joy to watch. Buendia ran the show today A involved in absolutely everything and he is not afraid to get stuck in. Great cameo from Coutinho. Ramsey absolutely bossed that second half - nothing better than seeing an academy lad come through if his calibre. Chuk impressed as well - really hope he signs the contract. Mings colossus. Digne very encouraging apart from his pass into Sanson (didn’t look that rusty to me!) I though Sanson was playing a blinder to be honest. Hope his frustration on the touch line was due to his error and not being subbed off. UTV!

Id happily see Bruno receive a bad **** injury.
