£15m wasn't actually that cheap for Rogers but it would have been more if we had have waited until the summer, for contrary to some comments he was actually doing very well for MIddlesbrough and his price would have shot up come the summer and there would be more competition for his signature by then, we just got in there early because we recognized he was suddenly living up to his earlier potential and he fitted the criteria of what Emery was looking for as himself recently stated, that is a player with similar attributes to Ramsey If we waited until summer and Rogers had have carried on the way he was, would probably be talking £20m plus and a big chunk of that wouldn't be add ons as it reportedly is with the deal we've got Middlesbrough did well out of it, they paid £1m for him in the summer, then months later they get £15m, for them was probably too good of an offer to do turn down, and, they needed the money They also got Azaz for what some deemed a very good price, and we had previously helped them with Ramsey and Archer, and I wouldn't be surprised to see similar happen in the future

Crowley has actually done well this season, ten goals and fifteen assists, I think the athletic did some sort of feature on lower league talents and mentioned him as someone who might get a move further up the pyramid.
-
Edit: Easier to post link, Carla Ward talking about budget when asked how we progress from being a midtable team, plans have been submitted for next season, now waiting to see if the decision makers back those plans

Chelsea were never as good as the hype after their win over Everton suggested, but also they're not as bad as their defeat to Arsenal suggests. All we need to know is that on their day they can be decent, and as such we need to be wary, less talented teams than them have taken points of us If we're not at our best they're more than capable of beating us, but if we play as well as we can do then we will have an excellent chance

He will probably go out on loan again, or get sold with a buyback, but what Emery and his coaches make of him will determine the precise details of such a move

Says he's going to miss the Stockport team holiday because he's coming back to our first team, good that Emery and his coaching staff are going to take a look

I don't know how reliable but some reports suggesting that some clubs in Mexico want Lehmann and have already started negotiations

We've signed a young goalkeeper called Jack Allan, he was at Portsmouth but they didn't offer him a scholarship for next season, we did after giving him a three week trial.

Sheffield United Chief Exec apparently confirmed that Archerr is coming back to help with their finances, but also hinted that there might be a possibility of him going back there in the long term, presumably means if they sell some other players that might be able to buy him again, if not doesn't really matter as someone else will buy him. Also not sure I agree he's not good enough for the Premier League, if you look closely at his stats they're not too bad considering he's been playing in one of the worst PL teams ever, he might not be good enough but I don't think it's confirmed eithe way yet. He's not playing as much since the new year as Wilder knows he's leaving in the summer, which he's alluded to a number of times in his press conferences. I think we will get a good fee for him, either from Championshp team with a lot of money to spend and looking to get promoted, or a newly promoted team
-
He's meant to be good, was surprised when he went to Rangers from Millwall, as presumed he would go to one of the cateogry 1 clubs in England, he was already in England age group youth teams, so would have been well known. I think he's a striker. Edit: he's actually already got some minutes in the Championship and Scottish Premier League, he was only fifteen when he made his Millwall debut
-
Leeds third shouldn't have needed VAR as he was clearly offside, bad mistake from the officials, MIddlesbrough not doing themselves any favors with their defending though. Bamford stood on Azaz's ankle, as the commentary said hopefully that was accidental

We've had a few players from Craig Butler's Phoenix Academy training with the U21s, Robino Gordon, Dante Peralto and Denzel McKenzie

In the last four games Chelsea have failed to beat both Burnley and Sheffield United, they lost leads in both games, Burnley were down to ten men for a large portion of the game too, they needed injury time goals to beat Manchester United, both teams were as bad as each other in that game defensively, and they weren't even that great against Everton, Palmer aside, that was more about how poor Everton were.

I really don't think the West Ham squad is very great, a well regarded manager would be risking their repuation by taking that job unless there's scope to rebuild big time, Moyes got them doning well as the players suit his old fashioined rugged tactics, similar to Howe at Newcastle. Although Lopetegui has apparently been waiting for PL job after turning down Saudi offer, so maybe he would take it, again if he can spend, as saw what happened at Wolves when he wasn't able to at Wolves They've also been linked with Tuchel. If Newcastle sack Howe he would probably be a good fit for West Ham squad and seems the type their owners like, having appointed Bruce, McLeish, Allardyce, and Moyes twice in their time.

We're also getting Archer back, as we have an obligation to buy him for £9m if Sheffield United are relegated, effectively meaning it was a loan move.
-
It's likely true as Evans reported it just before The Athletic did a big interview with Wyness and they reported it again as fact in that Wyness article
-
We offered Moyes a ten year deal ahead of our first season in the Championship, could still be our manager now if he'd have accepted
-
Expected to leave Valencia this summer, Queens Park Rangers, Watford, small heath, and Getafe all interested in him according to Nizaar Kinsella of The Standard

Reports from Sheffield say that we sold Archer for £9m, if Sheffield United survive we get an extra £9m to take the total fee to £18m, but if they're relegated we have an obligation to buy him back for £9m. This what their Chief Exec has been quoted as saying"Without going in to detail because there's confidentiality with it, a lot of what's been said about the deal isn't far away from the truth. I think it was a smart deal for us on the basis if we do get relegated financially it limits our risk. Long term, if Cameron goes back to Villa, anything is still on the table."

Out of contract in the summer Chris Basham, Wes Foderingham, Oliver Norwood, Adam Davies, John Egan, George Baldock, Ben Osborn, Max Lowe, Oli McBurnie, Jordan Amissah, Jayden Bogle, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Daniel Jebbison Plus loan players Ben Brereton Díaz, Mason Holgate, James McAtee, Yasser Larouci

He was more than an okay Champioinship player, he was statistically one of the best, for the first half of the season, a few Middlesbrough fans saying different to make themselves feel better about losing him doesn't change that. If he wasn't doing very well we wouldn't have signed him, we've got top coaching staff who can improve players, but those players have to have something about them in the first place, we can't just magically turn average players into players as good as Rogers is proving to be so far

One of small heath's recent games, I think it was Cardiff, a ref was due to officiate who was an Huddersfield fan, small heath put in a complaint and they changed the referee, so if Forest, although some said the replacement ref was a Plymouth fan, not sure if that's true, but if Forest complained beforehand then it's surprising that the PL didn't just change referees
