A promising and likeable young player getting a serious injury is bad for us IMO.

Totally agree that the loan system is a farce. No player should be allowed to go on loan in the same division, it's a joke.

Aye, obviously you can never be 100% sure about any player staying, but it's annoying as owt when people assume players are leaving and shit themselves over every press rumour.

Disagree. Decent fella and speaks a lot of sense. Was a bit opinionated at the height of his rentaquote days but he's maturing. Think it's just in vogue, on forums etc, not to like him tbh. I don't know much about him, just commenting on the smug nature of that photo.

I definitely wouldn't sell Simpson for that money, it's not much and would unsettle our back four. I guess the contract situation complicates things though.

What a punchable mug.

Two Germans next to me in a cafe talking about the Olympic venues. I can't understand much of what they're saying, but they definitely said "St James' Park". A minor victory!

This has got to be one of the worst examples of a totally fabricated transfer rumour ever. Absolute joke that any media outlet is reporting it, but I'm not surprised.

Ah man, gutted for Sammy. Let's all send him tweets of encouragement.

Good. The ITV coverage was shocking! Everyone glossed over it TBF... even the radio hardly mentioned it. I suppose it was natural to focus on the late winner, but still, it was the kind of goal you don't see very often.

Made my morning this (the news about Demba, not the photo of Harry).

Heart says no, head says no as well.

Good news if we're really willing to spend £7m on a striker, no idea if Erding is good enough mind.

Totally agree. Would appear a few goal line clearances have affected the thinking of some. Not at all, would appear a few dodgy games this season have made some people forget how much he had improved.

They must be planning an epic spending spree next summer then.

Top 4-6, probably not. Top 7-10, for sure IMO.

Seek professional help.

Strange decision after leaving Fulham because they weren't ambitious enough for him. He's massively overrated IMO.

Villa, Wigan, Blackburn I reckon, all thoroughly boring clubs.

Does Harry admire him and think he's a great player, but won't talk about it as he still plays for his current club?

I like him, seems unlucky to have played so little football recently. Only worry is his skin-tight shirts.

He looked average when I saw him in pre-season at the Emirates, but it was a nothing game to be fair.

True, but they're already struggling to force a couple of ageing strikers into the lineup, and thy have Sturridge. Would like to see more of Lukaku as well mind.
