I'd happily have Ben Forster as number 2. Not just for his podcast, honest.

For where we are, Darlow is just fine as a number 2. We can get our scouting team to look for young keepers. For Dubravka and Man United it makes perfect sense. Dubravka gets one last hurrah at a high level for Man United and Man United get a very good keeper, who's probably more reliable than De Gea. From out point of view, we want to get ad much back from Pope's fee as we can.

Targett off for Lewis. That weakens us.

Lads, I want Wembley

Fair point. Big Joe then.

Botman would be my first change for Dummett. Immediately nullify their attacks. Then I'd bring on Bruno for 20 minutes to take the piss out of them.

Not often I agree with you but aye they have been shite.

Howe won't change things, he will trust them to go out and win the game, but he shouldn't give them more than 15 minutes before bringing on the big dogs.

Well, in the striker department. The rest of the squad isn't anywhere nearly as weak but I take your point.

We are. You'd have to be a complete moron to risk Bruno, Joelinton, Schar or Botman against these lot.

Even if we had Isak, Wood would be starting. It's the league Cup against Tranmere.

Will always be a bit of a legend. Injured or not, his career is over at NUFC. If I was him I'd be looking for a "Leicester" type move. He's still a comfortable PL keeper.

He's still not fit from last injury.

Of course he's ill. ?

Must be on his way. This is why we didn't let Darlow leave.

The fact he's 6ft4, quick and skillfull means he's a cert IMO. In one way or another he's going to cause havoc.

Reckon he will fly back with Nickson and Ashworth? Preferably handcuffed?

Reet Plane nonces, the time is upon you. Do your stuff.

Why do people always add one on? It's like "if we get isak and Pedro I will be very happy...... and Paqueta". We always just want one more.

Just a smidge.

60m quid is the going rate for a top rated young striker. Eddie Howe+ mega potential = fun times.

23 hours ago I made this post. I may have got the time wrong, but I got the strategy correct and the player and the fee Someone hoy it into the Isak thread and into the hall of fame for that matter.

To the Villa forum batman.

Howay Bolton.

Smart from Everton. Can't see either wanting to go there on a permanent.
