Perhaps he is more likely to be first choice with Fulham?

.

I think we’ll know for certain either way in the next 10 days or so.

Who said anything about being grateful or thanking anyone? You’re just making stuff up now. And yeah, I’ll do me thanks.

Don’t say things like that, you’ll be accused of trolling!

I’m not trolling. I’m pointing out the fact that we like that we’re in the money again, and like to go and take players from other clubs we now consider beneath us, but don’t like it when the shoe is on the other foot.

What are you even on about? Stick to making your videos mate.

There’s a certain irony that we like flexing our new financial muscles, but don’t like it being done to us and call them names.

I worry from what I read on here and on Twitter/Facebook that our owner’s wealth has really distorted expectations about how we can and should spend. On a level playing field, without FFP to worry about then of course we can go out and buy a £40m striker for the bench and other expensive squad players, but that is not the case.

This £40m that you refer to as peanuts would be our record transfer.

I just don’t think it’s realistic that Tammy is going to come here and have to fight his way into our first team. Ollie is vital to our attack, whether he’s scoring or not IMO, don’t get me wrong I would love the luxury of signing Tammy as an option but we’re not in a position to do so. There has to be a middle ground, as in someone who offers more goal threat than Davis or Wes, but is content to fight for his place, and doesn’t cost £30m

Care to explain this?

I think that if we spend again this summer and keep all the players we want to keep, then a fair expectation for next season is top 10.

Really pleased for him. Got ruined by Adama Traore last season, and looked a bit ropey in a few other games, but has really improved defensively this year, and is a solid choice for POTS. Without trying to sound biased, has there been a better defensive left back in the league this season? Not for me.

I think he should be Dirty Dean from now on?

I feel that if we are to have another season like this one next season, our kind and generous owners will possibly show a ruthless side that we have yet to see, but while we are comfortable in mid-table there is no chance of Dean not being manager going into the new season, even if we don’t pick up another win this season imo.

Anyone coming on this thread tonight to try and justify their hate for him, bore off.

The comparison was more to it being another loan disaster from Chelsea, but fair enough I guess. And to be accused of being OTT by someone like yourself is the most ironic thing I’ve read all day!

Who would’ve thought after what felt like the longest wait for him to regain fitness after his injury in November that we would be left with Danny Drinkwater Mk II.......

-10/10 for his game today? Jesus, I don’t know what you expect really. I guess we’ll agree to disagree.

I never said that. You’re overreacting, I understand it’s the heat of the moment, but these early years are a learning curve for players like him. He’ll learn from it, it’s cost us today but we move on.

-10/10 rubbish? Not a chance.

He’s a young lad, cut him a bit of slack mate

Just wish he wasn’t so casual all the time....

Sorry to single you out Paul, but I’ve seen a lot of this lately on forums and social media. Where has this “That is not good enough now” come from? We stayed up on the last day last season, now please correct me if I’m wrong but I think we’ve only fell out of the top half of the table for 1 game this season, and we’ve passed the 40 points mark - if offered that in July, you’d have given your right arm. I know I would have! We are indeed a grand old name in the history and fabric of English football, but today in the PL it counts for very little, we have to be careful how we progress and in a way that we can maintain. My big worry is the potential outrage should we finish 12th-14th, it’s going to be seen as failure by a lot of over expectant fans.
