get a season ticket then and do your bit, you're sending us down!

Nope, I'll just leave after the game, and get annoyed at perceived mistakes by the officials over the season that's cost us.

First run was always going to fail due to the 75% internationals in the last 2 years thing. The appeal is a box ticking exercise - we as a club should employ the right people to make sure we tick these boxes when the time arrives. That's why he'll have no problem getting a visa to United or Liverpool - because they DO employ the right people who know how to use the rules to their benefit.

And? We look far more solid like that - admittedly we need goals but we're better like that (imo).

clearing the decks

are you sure? Being a yard out of position on a set piece resulting in a goal is a fatal one imo.

Bacuna and stick to what we put out v WBA

lack of movement up top is painfully obvious - it reminds me a lot of Wales under Toshack - we used to pass it sideways, backwards as good as anyone - simply because we had no-one getting behind their defenders or making runs to get some space for midfielders to push up - why are we not going after anyone to fix this? Simple point here - saying the seasons dead - yes - but the 2 penalties we should have had vs Leicester and WBA (if converted) would meant we're 6 points adrift of Norwich now with them to come to VP in a couple of weeks - we can get out of this but we need a front line who'll make some space. Just a striker alongside Ayew - don't need 2 - come on Villa ffs

Given where we are - we'll only get players who have no other option in this league now. That's why we've not got anyone - theyre all waiting for a better offer. I wouldn't mind saying we'll be busy on the deadline day as players realise we are their only choice and move on. I'm meaning if we're wanting a player now instead of 10 days time, which theres no point really as no league games left this month they could play in - we'd be best off looking there - even mid table championship players wouldn't take it - see that Leeds right back as example.

That's my thought. Gap of League 1 to Championship isn't a lot - so the best players in League 1 would mix it upper end Championship. And to beat out any contenders in the Championship - we offer them PL footie. In a Euro Championships year. So to a Northern Irish/Welsh player - that would be huge - admittedly no one will bust into the England squad like that but say that left back from Wycombe - would jump at the chance to play for us - it would throw him into the Euros and the kid can deliver a ball.

I'd look at the top players in league 1 - simple reason being - we can offer them 5 months of Premiership football, and they'll be ideal to fire us forward next year when it happens.

Ellis football accounting - we got rid of Bent (so 24m lost) etc etc.

We drop this year, come back next year in 2nd.... flirt with relegation the year after but slowly climb to 10th, which gets hailed as 'great' for this club by media spouts like Lawro. Lerner here, Lerner not - it wont matter. Unless a super billionaire comes in just to make us awesome that's where we'll end up. Natural order.

If someone offers what we paid - I'd let him loose. He's made of glass and whats he going to get next year in the Championship? Kicking after kicking.

Debauchy has proven quality in this league. Ilori never. If this goes through it improves us now. For what its worth, if we finish 18th to 20th, and he contributes to that, we're up £800k as a result.

Disagree sorry Rodders - loan deals are pence in comparison - we get a player we couldn't afford outright (he cost Arsenal £12m didn't he??) - who improves us - and we don't get the fat contract around our neck when the inevitable happens. That's absolutely perfect planning imo.

The guy will have a fair idea what he's doing. The club maybe struggling but if you think Randy will put someone in charge of an asset of his currently worth £100m ish that's not qualified for the job then you're mad in the bonce.

start him. will help his fitness if anything.

that's a ridiculous fee for a guy no better than Shaun Maloney.

I thought he was absolutely superb vs Sunderland at home but yes agree this was his best so far. Good to see because Leicester win a lot of ball in the final third so he needs a similar performance Saturday

would love it but cant see that - he'll be lucky to be fit for August

im certain I read somewhere he's Joleon's cousin. Went on a mad run beating about 5 players in the game I saw him in (Hull, FA Cup under Gregory) - and fell over trying to shoot.

Don't know your age, but I'm gunna put a guess on not seeing Aaron Lescott play?

stop buying defenders dammit strikers!!!!!

Positional sense is woeful though - but gets by on his athletic ability. DM wont have that luxury a fullback does.
