At times I have thought he has been a bit lazy but I think he has been told to stick up front. He definitely has the physical skills to track back and has done so for Canada. I'm not convinced we are in for him though.

David is similar to Wilson imo. He is best as a false 9 or coming from deep. Had a great spell as an AM in Belgium before he went to Lille. Not a big target man and not a wide forward either, maybe he could do a job out there but definitely predominantly played through the middle. He Isn't rapid but does have good acceleration. Is a very good positionally, great movement and is a pretty damn good finisher. Nicknamed the ice man for his calm under pressure. I think Howe would drive up his work rate. He dipped in form the second half of the season which should drive his fee down a little. Second dry spell he has had at Lille is a little worrying. I think that might have put off the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal (heavily linked) Manure (ten hag apparently wants him) and Inter who are also very heavily linked. That Lille side is absolutely horrific though, in fact even in winning the league last year I haven't seen many league winners incapable of passing to each other (especially David) and being so enfuriating to watch. I think he would thrive at Arsenal or Liverpool and in a team that actually passes to him lol. I'd worry we would ruin him but he has a strong character and I'd be pretty excited if we got him. Would prefer Davies though haha.

Not worried in the slightest. Showed great improvement the past month. Counts towards our home grown and if we adequately replace we will now get a fee for him. I do wonder if there is much of a future for him, willock and certainly shelvey. I expect they all stay next season (maybe we shift jonjo) but can't see them staying past that. This contract gives him incentive to prove he deserves to stay.

Disappointing message to receive this morning. Also very random lol
-
So glad to not give a living shit about the likes of Bruce, Pardew, Ashley etc. anymore. Good luck to them/may they get what they deserve, who cares either way. They are absolutely inconsequential now. Let the good times roll.
-
And I was just about ready to let Miggy go.... ... now it's personal. Next season the Miggster will kill him with kindness, smiling from bench to bench.
-
On loan (with option to buy) I am happier with. We need to spend elsewhere.
-
Wood seems a real good lad and absolutely helped us out when we needed a striker. I'd shift him in a heart beat though. I can't see that we will but I hope we do.
-
We signed this cunt yet? No? All the best to him if we don't. Been an absolute class act.
-
There is a reason Miggy stayed face down for 10 seconds. He could feel the heat. It was difused by the time he slowly rolled over and gave Wilson a cheeky grin. Ridiculous decision not to pass though lol
-
Had just come to terms with putting the phone and computer away and spending more time off it this summer. Ah well. Another year of my kids childhood around zombie dad. Lol "Quiet children, Newsnow is refreshing."

Considering we had no CM to replace Joelinton when he went off we did well. Bruno was off his game but Longstaff did really well. Burnley and their fans have to ask why it took the 70 or so minutes before they inevitably woke up and started playing for survival. Our softer than normal centre held out though. What a season, (hopefully) when we are up the top with people calling for the manager to be sacked because we didn't win something that year, we still remember what an absolute journey of highs, lows, excitement, despair and yet fulfillment can come from a season where we just missed out on top 10. Incredible stuff and one of the most memorable of seasons ever. Bring on the rebuilding and revival in the summer.
-
Slow mo!
-
This is true but there is definitely a completely different atmosphere and mentality in this situation. They are fighting for survival which is giving them extra. Not a normal game.
-
Down to 14th with a draw 11th if we win. But maybe Leeds go down if we draw though. Crazy all round
-
Waaa. Crazy Targett off the line too.
-
Lost it before then tbf.
-
Brentford down to 10 men.
-
Brentford score but var check!
-
Ffs. We are going to end up throwing this lol. Good for Brighton, the bastards.
-
Bit harsh. Actually been impressed with how vocal and loud their fans have been the past month in games. Not surprised they are quiet after hearing Leeds have scored then we hammer in the final nail a minute later. On their fans part they just would have been better chanting come on Brentford today rather than Burnley.
-
We will see him off the bench a few times I'm sure
-
Get in.
-
Longstaff playing well again.
-
Leeds safe. West ham scoring would be nice.
