    What does Kane do? Contract up next season, does he ask for a transfer or hold tough to potentially earn far more. Serious lack of ambition if he does sign a new deal there. Does Levy take the chance that he could walk for free? Who wants to buy him? City no way, maybe United? I think if Newcastle get Champions League they splash the Saudi money on Kane.

    Yeah I’m saying if Unai got those games instead it would probably be closer to 70% than 0.7%.

    Insane to think where we would be if Gerrard didn’t get 6 of these 7 games in charge.

    Under Gerrard this team looked like 11 individuals who had never played together. I genuinely felt like each player was spinning a wheel in their head on receiving the ball and either pass, hoof, run, shoot, etc under Gerrard. The style of play was just totally random. Right now there is a huge togetherness in this team. We are winning together and losing together. Even little things like how quickly players are over to pick one and other up off the ground after a tackle. It’s not the finished article yet but the improvement is mind blowing. We weren’t totally at it tonight, the exertions from Saturday obviously had an effect but we still got a win, I think leicester would have won that under the previous manager. Another thing all the players seem genuinely delighted for Bert, again showing how together we are. It’s down to one man and one man only.

    I'll never forget that game, my now wife, then girlfriend was moving to Portlaoise, we watched it in some hotel/bar having a bite. I was waiting on Villa +1 goal for a nice accum, when we went 2-0 up my bet was pretty much good but I could cash out for about €5 less than the full amount (they still needed 3 goals in about 10mins for me to lose), I very rarely cash out a bet but I said to her we are going to lose this game and took the money and ran. Genuinely believe if we won that game we'd have stayed up and they wouldnt have won the league.

    Don’t understand why clubs don’t do this more, (send two players on loan together) surely makes it easier having a familiar face around.

    Were they the only 2 clips they could find I wonder?

    Does Dignes not look a bit low at £2.8m per year considering we paid £25m for him.
  9. Folski
    Oh I know they looked doomed I hope Dyche has worked in a massive bonus on the off chance he does keep them up. Madness they signed no body.

    I don't know makes sense to sell Gordon in January they'd probably have got less in the Championship in the summer.

    Makes sense to be fair every manager is a few bad games away from the sack these days. You don’t have much time to get a replacement and are likely going to have to pay a premium if you do find one. A lot more time in the summer to bring in replacements and doesn’t derail a season.

    I make out that we have 22 senior players, 3 of which are goal keepers and another 3 of which are injured (Carlos, McGinn, Bert), 1 who's never played a game in Europe. Not overly bothered by the low numbers, as if we can shift Digne & Phil in the summer along with Marvellous, Keinan, Sanson & Wesley there will be a lot of space to build on.

    No thanks to Sarr. He’s hardly tearing the championship apart. Think we dodged a bullet there.

    Surely if you’re Dembele you want the transfer fee paid to you via wages rather than to Lyon.

    I heard it was €49,999,999.99

    The trees just tweeted: "Not that they get involved with transfer biz, but good to see that both of our owners appear to be back to work this week... #avfc"

    I don't understand why Coutinho doesn't go to Saudi or Qatar or MLS.

    They’re not playing in a European competition at the moment. This season is extremely unusual in that it has a World Cup mid season, I think they’d maybe 4/5 players go to the World Cup. I think other clubs had the following 16 (City), 14 (United), 12 (Chelsea), 11 (spurs), 10 (Arsenal), 7 (Liverpool). A lot of these are underachieving at the moment and have indifferent form, Arsenal the obvious exception and you could say United are finally finding a bit of form but they were hammered by Brentford and we made them look ordinary. Newcastle have become incredibly hard to beat and that way you’re always picking up points but they haven’t been as stretched as other teams at the end of the table. That being said they aren’t rolling at the moment like they were earlier in the season the goals have dried up. At the other end of the spectrum West Ham have won 8 games in Europe this year but find themselves in a relegation battle.

    Ok but historically who have we actually bought in January that's done well. 2022 Digne - £25m clearly now 2nd choice left back just 12 months later, likely on a big contract and few potential suitors. Chambers - Free also told he can go by the looks of things. 2021 Sanson - £14m just gone on loan has had no real impact. 2020 Samatta - £8.5m managed a total of 14 games for us Baston - Free waste of time 2019 Kalinic - total disaster Guilbert - I liked him but managers didn't 2018 N/A 2017 Bjarnason, Bree, Hourihan, Taylor, Hogan - mostly flops Conor did well. 2016 Cole & Senderon 2015 Gil & Sinclair

    People are on about Europe but realistically we dont have anywhere near the depth for it at the moment. It would be great to make it but there's a realistic chance it hurts our short term progress by actually making it.

    He didn't murder anyone the gun just went off in his pocket.

    He's said it's one of those destinations that can only really be footie related. The plane in question obviously has links to Villa.

    Seriously have to question his work ethic, he's basically worked a week in October, had all of November & December off and works a week in January. He'll be back on his holidays by the end of May.
