Could be a good loan signing but I hope he will not block Callum o hare's progress when he is back fit as seems to play the same position....of course if woodburn is really that good then fair play but Callum was on fire for u23 last season and didn't get his chance because of onomah from spurs....also Liverpool insist on their loan players playing a certain amount of game's or impose very large fines on the club. This would mean even if woodburn was average it could block any of our own youngsters again getting a chance in our first team

Sturridge on a loan could be a good risk worth taking......him staying fit though is probably unlikely as the baggies found out

Probably not since we finished 4th in the Championship 

But these are different FFP rules and wouldn't apply to us either way.

Of course but we could contest any fine or transfer embargo surely as we have new owners like Milan

Don't know all the circumstances but AC Milan have just won a court case allowing them to compete in the Europa League next season after being excluded for breaking FFP rules when owned by Chinese owners...... we'd also be able to contest any punishment we are given if we keep Grealish and break FFP?

He is still our player, if he can do a job for us in the championship then i don't see why not. Fwiw i think he could be useful in the championship 

Great appointment in my opinion. I think Bruce is exactly what we need at this time and gives us a chance of gaining promotion this season still. 

If it is Bruce I'm sure he will bring spinksy back to club as GK coach 

I really can not believe people are suggesting Allardyce who has been proved to be dishonest and bent, showing all he cares about is how much extra money he can make despite being the best paid international manager in the world, hopefully a life ban will put an end to it.

Bruce would get us promoted I think....there is still time if we act now

I suggest you watch more closely. He is all over the place

I watch perfectly well thanks and he offers more than Cissokho does attacking and providing assists with his crosses

Amavi is horrific

I totally disagree, he may make the odd mistake but he offers more attacking threat especially at home, he had  3 assists last season in about 8 games which is great for a LB 

Amavi really should be starting games now and especially at home because he offers us something completely different going forwards and his crossing ability for the likes of Kodija and Gestede will provide so many assists, Cissokho while decent at defending is useless in the final third attacking wise. Surely RDM can see this 

Not good enough to be starting games in my opinion, gave ball away that leads to their 1st goal and offered nothing else apart form 2 off target wasted shots on goal! Rightly taken off!

Hoping we get somewhere with Assombalonga now but time is running out I feel

Odegaard is the Nordic version of Freddy Adu, don't think he is anywhere near ready.

You never know until he is tried, isn't he a full Norwegian international? 

Surely we can utilise the loan market.....is Oddeggard still at Madrid, what  not try for this type of player on loan 

Hope we have an alternative 

Did he score a hat-trick for Mali the weekend ?

To the tune of Rupert the bear 

 Ruuuudy...Rudy Gestede 

Everyone knows his name

The barcodes used to sing it for Philipe Albert

Because it was RDM's decision to let him go? The manager, you know. 

So if the manager decides to let him go......Is it the manager who decides he  goes for nothing or is that down to the people upstairs. ...I dont think the managers have that power anymore but I may be wrong as certain clubs have different structures.

In some respect I agree with the Dr here.... why should we be giving him away free to Sheff Wed......we are not a charity and there should have been a fee.....sheff Wed must have thought great we are getting a player we want and paying nothing for him.....Thanks Aston Villa.

Massive signing for us......Welcome Ross McCormack

Don't you wish your striker was Rossy Mc C.

Would sound better for LB and Amavi.

What did Dr Xia actually tweet.....i've missed it and apparently it's deleted now ?
