Not surprised by this. He is at a Premier League club so he may as well try and make it here. Theres plenty of time to move on in the summer if he doesnt make it.

I just think if he isnt a key player, like Carroll, Tiote or Ben Arfa, then theres no need for a long contract like that. He could well fall down the pecking order here, even as close as right now if Campbell and Taylor play well. Of course Campbell is off at the end of the season but we will probably sign another couple of centre backs in the next year or 2. If he falls down the pecking order he could well be in a position where he isnt or is barely getting a game. If that did happen and we couldnt find a buyer for him then he is stuck here for ages and isnt even playing. Of course there are a lot of "ifs" there, but thats why a 3 year deal is better imo. If in 2 and a half years he is playing regularly then fair enough, extend his contract, if he isnt playing then he can move on. Ultimately though, it really doesnt matter

Its a good omen. We drew with Chelsea after the last one.

I dont understand these kind of contracts being given to players who, if we wanted to keep them, we could. 3 years seems more reasonable.

Really? The way the news is going on you'd swear Britain was in lock down.

Chances of this being postponed?

Whoever is the highest bidder I guess.

Hope Nolan is back for this, it's exactly the kind of game that he would score in. And fuck 3 points, I just want to see Messi drink his own piss.

I see he strategically placed one of his goons into the crowd in London holding a Sports Direct bag facing the camera at all times. Nothing like a bit of free advertising.

Did we sort out his rehab, medical bills etc? Would definitely go in our favour if we wanted him permanently.

Your search bar

England deserve it. Home to the 1 of the worlds best leagues, some top stadiums and full of teams supported by millions worldwide. It's a farce that it hasnt hosted in 44 years, 52 by the time the next World Cup. England will get it imo.

Fucking hell

Krul Simpson Williamson/Campbell (whoever isnt starting in the league) Colo/Taylor (whoever isnt starting in the league) Perch Routledge Smith Guthrie Ferguson Ameobi Ranger Is what I would play. We cant afford to have some players getting injured or booked, besides, that 11 would be more than capable. I would also be tempted to start/play Gosling for fitness.

Only a few weeks until we can buy another striker. Fucking hope we get one.

Prob be another one of the top 3 after our luck in the Carling Cup. Man Utd probably.

"Did we break Chelsea?"

2 points from 9 since he was out. I think we missed certain elements of his game such as set pieces. He is definitely our best option out on the right at the moment. Glad his suspension is done and we can get him back into the side.

Its just Shola. He's very much a hot and cold (mainly cold) kind of player.

I think he will drop him. Barton has been decent out on the right and Shola/Carroll are a handful for any team, particularly away. I would hate to see Routledge dropped as well but he would be a great option late in the game to test tired West Brom legs.

Krul Simpson Taylor Campbell Enrique Barton Nolan Tiote Jonas Ameobi Carroll

Could be a very interesting game. Really tough one to call. 2-3 to Newcastle

Cant sit back against teams like this, they always score.

Whats he said?

Beckham on loan for a few months would be great. Wouldnt do the profile of the club any harm either He most certainly wouldn't come though.
