16th, no faith in transfers coming in, faith that rafa stays. If he goes then 20th.

Murphy is two years older than him mind. Duly noted. However, Arma got nearly double the amount of goals while at Coventry, admittedly playing as a striker. I just feel like I expect him to push on, not linger at championship lower league teams. I'm personally hoping this season is his last at that level, getting a full season under his belt at a decent side pushing for promotion, not grabbing a half a dozen goals at Barnsley. I disagree, I think he needs another season at a club exactly like Barnsley to be honest, like Abraham at Bristol City and Armstrong before at Coventry - a team with low expectations where he has the freedom to make mistakes. A team chasing promotion will see him side-lined for only a few mistakes.

Missed out there. For where we are as a club, some of the snobbishness over Hart is a bit embarassing.

Revenge for Dan Gosling

Murphy's law on this one.

Please.... Weighing up must be the continental version of monitoring £500k should do. I would give them a bit more, mind.

Well, to take the point to it's obvious comparison, Nolan, Enrique, Colocinni, Barton, Gutierrez, Guthrie all flattered to deceive in the PL whilst playing a good chunk of games when we went down last time, and most had a significant role in bringing us straight back up, and with the exception of Guthrie, most were far more competent the second time around too. Oh yeah, then I remember you said Colback Ok, at least the others have some talent and might improve.

It's fine, the real stuff doesn't start happening until July, that's when the English leagues start by default on FM, Charnley's done his research. Oh wait..

What about Nolan for us last time we came up? Sheringham, Bergkamp, Okocha, Beardsley, Le Tissier, Bervatov all played with a great deal of success in the PL but with little to no pace to speak of. We played a completely different system when Nolan played, also Nolan's goals dried up after Carroll left. From that list, only 1 has played in the PL the last 10 years..... Well, to take a tangent, I'd say any of the ones I'd mentioned wouldn't look out of place in any of the top 5-6 clubs starting XI today. Seemingly, youth football breeds speed merchants and you just don't see the slower, technical ones make it through as much nowadays.

Great balance

Damn I love this kid, really hope he comes good.

Never should have signed him for an Alan Pardew team. The epitome of the disconnect between recruitment and management, a player known for playing it on the ground as part of a pass-and-move team and supposedly well regarded at Ajax was never, ever going to succeed in the middle for us under Pardew. Let alone the question of whether he was even suited to the Premier League in the first place...

The gift that keeps on giving

Clark should be the first (defender) on the team sheet (unless we sign another!) Back 3 with wing backs would tick a lot of boxes with our squad as it stands right now imo...

Remember the Rivaldo rumors? Sir Bobby confirmed we were after him in the ITV studio covering a World Cup match. Grade-A rumour that then

Remember the Rivaldo rumors?

£75m for Lukaku is low compared with Everton's incoming transfers. (Keane, Pickford).

Shame Quite explosive I have heard To be honest I prefer Cerci's youngest brother but I think he is a bit short to play in the Premier League. To be honest I prefer Cerci's youngest brother but I think he is a bit short to play in the Premier League. Is there a number we can text STOP to to end this s****? No, but you could build The Wall to stop them getting through.

He is getting a new contract and he deserves it. I doubt you have mates though. Alreet Paul, didn't realise you were on N-O. All jokes aside, if the contract is for a backup then fine, but there's no way in hell we should be giving him a deal as a starting 11 Premier League left back. If rumours are to be believed, Stoke were considering doing just that.

Quite a feat for the mother that, what with a year and half the country separating them.

I think Bradford are their only major club They make darlington's kits and a lot of lower none league and pub team kits though in the Durham area . Don't like the tight sleeves, would never fit me at all. Nice colours otherwise, always thought of Bradford as Claret/Gold though.

Kante is such a mannequin

Is this why all players are suited to all leagues then?
