he's only 24, was he shit for newcastle just because they were so bad back then?  the more i read about him the more i like.  i wonder if fulham would try and hold us hostage for him.

Would be hoping that some of the Fulham players have the ol'relegation get out clause.

As for playing left/right, pretty sure he's pure CF (although could be wrong).

Joining from Newcastle to newly promoted Fulham you'd have thought he would have such a clause, wouldn't you?

One of the premierships hidden talents. Very strong, good pace, powerful shot, decent in the air. I’m surprised he isn’t already at one of the big boys.

Always been impressed when watching him.

This the same lad who played for Newcastle last year? Because that lad was awful!

Apparently spurs are in for mitrovic but being quoted £50 mill??? I’d be looking to move on Leighton, jags stek, Galloway one of McCarthy or Morgan niasse and cenk and of any takers would have him walcott. Obviously there is others like Pennington, Ramires etc but they would be my main ones. I like the right back at Norwich sign Gomes and hopefully Henry will get his work permit. I’d like to sign Zouma but with Chelsea’s transfer ban I can’t see it. Could holgate step in there? Maybe. Hopefully a couple of brands diamonds will be the others

Said it before and I will say it again, losing Baines and Jags would be absolutely terrible for the squad. There is a lot to be said for having lads with the right character in the club. People talk about the attitudes of Pickford, Richarlison, Walcott, Schneiderlin, Lookman, no one does about these two though. We need that positivity.

How did the defence look against Liverpool with sold man Jags at the back?

I think you’ve misread what I said, if you look back I wrote squad. I don’t expect them to be any more than squad players.

Anyone who works in a team surely understands that having good people makes a huge difference. Finding good people who are happy to sit on the side lines and still be a positive influence day to day is even harder.

I think you've missed Shukes' irony Ste (not helped by the misplaced "s" when he meant old rather than sold). I could be wrong though.

Sorry I didn’t mean it that way, I was agreeing with you.

Just having Jags there as an influence and organiser helped the team in my opinion. Having those two experienced players on the squad and ready to be called upon is important for me. 

My commwnt was more of a nod of agreement with you 🙂

I’m used to being shot down for wanting old players to stick around haha sorry mate. 

There aren’t enough players of their quality and influence around anymore for me, especially ones who will play second fiddle and not rock the boat.

Zouma and Gomes will hopefully be signed. Gomes was quality yesterday. Apparently they are optimistic about Henry’s work permit and Vlasic will be brought back to provide competition for Gilfi. The lad at Lille is being targeted and I can see another forward coming in. So hopefully we can get rid of Sandro, mirrallas, niasse, Morgan,McCarthy, Cenk and can see jags and Baines going aswell

Yep, clearing out that dead wood will be the clubs first priority, then completing the signing of Gomes and maybe Zouma.

Gomes for me has looked a different level to the rest, the way he picks the ball up and can move it around, shields it brilliantly and has both the ability to bomb forward with it, play a good pass or get stuck in with a tackle.  Not only does he have that Barca midfield quality, he is bigger and stronger than most of them!  If we can get him and he’s keen we have to sign him.

i think Gana benefits from having him there to.

would be good if we could get gana to sign a new contract and stay but I’m not too confident on it.  Hopefully a strong end to the season and signing of Gomes would convince him we’re worth sticking with.

I don’t think we need masses of signings but as Lookman doesn’t seem to be getting a look in and Theo is a bit shit we need a right winger.  Think Richarlison should continue on that side though.

hopefully Henry can do it for us in the prem but would we be confident with a just a combination of him and DCL?  Richarlison in emergencies.

                     DCL

Malcolm   Bernard    Charlie

           Gomes     Gana 

Digne    Keane  Zouma   Wan-Bissaka

                Pickford 

Unlikely I guess - that’s £140-150m of spend.

Lookman, Walcott and all the players out of loan out (excluding Holgate, Vlasic and Henry).  Not sure what can be recouped there - probably not a lot

Would like to see Virgina step up to the 1st team on the bench.

We don't need Gana to sign a new contract. He's only just signed one so if we don't want to sell him then we just don't.

Do you not think that given Gomes' recent form that Barca won't want to sell? Or worse one o the 'Big' boys will come in for him? Plus side is that he seems very happy here.

Very little change barca will keep him, he doesn't get on with the Messiah. Biggest worry would be the teams above us, all of them could do with him.

they need to get rid.  they are so crowded at midfield they are talking about getting rid of Rakitic, and he's a starter for them!  Gomes will be sold.

Good average age to that team. Wan-Bissaka is looking at costing a mint. Would like to have Zouma/Gomes sign but Malcom on loan with view to buy @25-30m. 

Add in this young striker from Lille and I’m prettt happy there.

Barca will just up his price if anything, and hopefully we are his chosen destination. However if a couple of CL teams come sniffing (Spurs) then it's probably game over.
