Nobody

Typical Ashley, always thinking of the prophets.... Terrific

Not sure about that 5 year contract

Getting nervous now. A win here would be huge!

9. Would be shocked if we don't go up.

Knockaert replacement

Has he played in their pre season games?

Where's Brummie?

Mentions of £3m release clause, but that's not definite. £3m, get the fuck outta here £3m's becoming the new hundreds of billions in terms of notorious N-O numbers. :lol:

Would put left back ahead of a striker like. We've already got Gayle/Mitrovic battling it out for the starting spot and Ayoze/Armstrong as back up.

Barcelona home kit looks like Crystal Palace

Perez's 7 goals and 3 assists vs Mitrovic's 9 goals and 5 assists though. Bit harsh one gets praised like some kind of hero and the other regularly gets slated. Perez isn't a striker though, and has a lot more to his game than Mitrovic. I really like both of them, but it's quite obvious who the more talented footballer is IMO

Would you not expect your main striker to get more than one goal in a game if they are dominating near enough every game? Strikers should love scoring goals More important to spread out the goals IMO, wins you more games.

Having a good goal scoring record while not getting more than 1 each game is surely a good thing anyway?

I hate this place when we're all on suicide watch, so much more fun the few times we can be optimistic.

Look up Shearer's scoring record upto age 22, compared to Mitrovic. I'm aware of Shearer's less than prolific record prior to signing for Blackburn... That doesn't mean Mitrovic will be just as prolific. Do you think Mitrovic will become a 20 + a season man throughout his career? By the way my post isn't condemning the lad or writing him off, even though I personally think he's average. I just don't think he is a goalscorer and never will be. It doesn't, of course it doesn't. But you can't say, "he'll never be prolific" when he's at a stage of his career where he's more prolific than Shearer was at that age. If he becomes a consistent 15 goal a season striker, that would be superb. I'd agree, 15 goals a season would be fine, damn fine especially if he was to improve his general game. To me he is a 9-10 a season man in the PL and has massive limitations. I'd prefer to not see him starting games for us on a regular basis like, Gayle looks far more dangerous, far more capable in front of goal and a better general fit. He got 9 this season, in a team managed mostly by McClaren at 21 years old. Do you really think his ceiling is just one more goal? He probably had less than 25 starts as well. He will definitely be a 10-15 goals forward, at least.

He's a legend for taking on the challenge of keeping us up and even more so for sticking with us in the championship. Even if it were to go tits up this season (not that I can see it), he will still be a hero in my eyes.

Dummett is reliable defensively, which is fine, but we really should be looking at an upgrade for left back. I'm happy with him being back up centre half and full back, good player to have in the squad.

no doubt in my mind we'll move the moment tobin is signed somewhere else Aye, we'll get Knockaert as soon as Tobin is off IMO.

I can certainly see the difference in how much a defender costs compared to midfielders and strikers, aye

John Stones will probably cost best part of £50m and he's not that good. Would be the most expensive defender ever, and would cost about half of Pogba, so thanks for defending my point

Attacking players always cost more than centre backs as well.

I hate this cunt

2-1 to Gala. Jose out
