Might be a situation where you have a club captain and a team captain, think Everton did it with David Weir when he wasn't in their first choice backline.

One thing I've noticed more recently and learned to retrospectively hate is the way he refers to his long career in management but can't even recall how long he's been stealing a living for. He'll get asked about the latest (and frequent) difficult patch of form and say something like: "Well you kneuw, I lean on my experience. When you've been going for twenty-odd years, or worreva it is like I have, you learn to keep on bashing away" or "Look, some of the things flying around have been disrespectful. Ah'v managed 400, 500 odd games in the Premier League or worreva it is and you lot think I don't know how to run a warm-up. It's nonsense"

Should be guest of honour at the Forest match really, get him on the pitch at half time and celebrate his time with us.

Wonder what that young list of questions lad is called? Should get Graeme Jones on for an interview and I'd expect we'll find out sharpish.

I think he'll start the season in the side but likely be phased out by the end of it, especially if we sign another centre mid.

Currently touring clubs and venues down south doing "Barrioke" which is exactly what it sounds like, tenner a ticket. Would hope Mustang Sally gets an airing (with no microphone, he doesn't need one). That said if he brought it up north I'd definitely go

Buzzing about this. Feels like a real statement & we're getting a hell of a spine to the team (Pope, Botman, Bruno). A hell raiser forward and we'll be class.

It's missing Kell Watts as well, he got on as a sub in the season closer at home to Liverpool.

221, pretty pleased with that. Most notable ones forgotten were Didi Hamann and Andy Griffin, most of the rest were probably lads who made >15 appearances.

Must be waiting for us to send Burnley the £10m via Papal.

I reckon no more than £2m for Woodman, probably a lot of it clauses based around appearances or Preston getting promoted.

Can't help but think Ekitike is represented by Darren Lamb - phone unplugged, masturbating over the pen with the nude lady on it and telling Ashworth that he should sign Barry from Eastenders to play up front instead because "he's so versatile".

Think £10m for Pope would be good business. Dubravka has been unchallenged for no.1 since the day he started, either he plays better due to some real competition or he is replaced by a good standard PL keeper who in turn is being kept on his toes by Dubravka. Woodman and Darlow can get gone, keep Gillespie until we can find a Carson/Rob Green/Lee Grant style 3rd choice solution, or until a hell-raiser comes through the academy.

I'm fully on board with this, me. Seen him have the odd good game and that but people talking about £100m and that are on smack. He's like a more mobile Mark Noble.

Any Derby fans who think they know better than us and have managed to create themselves a narrative where Ashley owning them is a good thing deserve him tbh.

I hope that tit scrapes together the cash and buys them. Would be hilarious

We've gone from having a winger play there for the best part of two years to having an experienced, strong defender with some attacking ability and a decent fitness record. It's a hell of an upgrade.

Weird how he was touted as a failure and a laughing stock at Chelsea with a 1 in 3 record. He'd be an unbelievable signing but I think he's way out of our scope right now.

Get out of jail free card that. Soft

This referee hasn't got a whistle

Mount utterly anonymous yet again for England.

Walker and Rice have been absolutely chronic.

Just Raheem then! If he can score first it's worth £170 to me over 2 bets.

Great start for the Kane, Sterling and Havertz SOT boost. Just the two England lads to go.
