I honestly don't think there is one.

For me Darren Eales comments recently, that some have interpreted as, we suddenly need to sell players right now, I feel this has helped open a minefield for the press and local idiots. It wasn't made clear at all that we needed to sell now, it wasn't made clear we needed to sell the most valuable assets, all that was clear was, at some point you have to sell players, (not a particular player) to create headroom. I'm not Eales biggest fan, he seems to be a bit of a joker, when I see him, I feel he comes across like he might think he's more important than he actually is, the Mackem in Milan comment, the singing with the fans at the cup final, and the shite interview misleading everyone by talking about transfers and headroom, has created a lot of unnecessary attention lately. Wouldn't mind seeing the back of him tbh.

Those onana links are ridiculous.

Sorry, Craig Hope

I'd ban this arsehole, he literally spends most of his time writing a load of rubbish for reactions. Find it properly weird.

As if Howe would let Trippier leave

Not if he's referring to the transfer of organs

Effectively are you saying they're both off the books as of now, but still attached to the club and being loaned out, in a similar way Matty Longstaff was hanging around, or I'm misunderstanding?

Elaborate please.

Can anyone explain termination of player contracts and ffp, for example you have 4 players you will never use again still contracted, Hayden, Hendrick, Lewis, Fraser. Does it help in anyway reducing the annual outlay to increase recruitment, or not at all and better to get what little you can by hoping clubs will sign the players with any kind of bids.

You've jumped in and played mediator, that's all good, I do get what you're saying. You don't get what I'm aiming at though, yes have an opinion, but don't regularly drive conjecture! and there's a few posters that love it. Research all you like, and share what you discover, but fuck off doing your conjecture posts on every bloody player. Not you of course But hopefully we both understand each other now.

Craig Hope man, why the fuck was he handed such a surname, ironic, being the most pessimistic numpty in the area. Mind, they're all very similar, Edwards, Hope, occasionally Ryder. Just don't get them.

But i don't believe we buy one dimensional players anymore, so having people making sweeping statements about he plays this position or that isn’t helpful at all, especially when they literally looked them up 20 minutes before. For me the midfield seems to be full of players who can interchange, compliment each other, and switch swap. I don't think we pin our hopes on he's only capable of playing such a position these days, and when Howe could play his full deck of cards we could affect games differently, and you could see players were instructed to switch a fair bit. I just get mildly irritated by the likes acting like they know everything about a player they'd not even heard of five minutes before they saw a rumour on twitter.

I always thought Joelinton was a midfielder not a striker, identified it before Howe arrived, then Howe came along and proved me right. Never once claimed scouting knowledge. Graham Carr scouted players for years, Tiote he scouted for 4 years before we signed him, Nickson I don't think is as thorough/meticulous as Carr, but he's sat out there in Italy, in January, in the cold, watching live, identifying what we need. Can't be taking someone seriously who never knew a dot on Ederson prior, jumping on here claiming its not what we need, or they're similar to what we already have, just bizarre. Some people need better hobbies than fantasising their 5 minute online research, in the hope of appearing knowledgeable online.

Is this shit serious! I'm letting KaKa off the hook.

I'll never get his assist to Isak vs spurs out of my head, it's engraved now forever, in that particular fixture (The 6-1) Willock featured in the middle with Bruno and Longstaff, but Joelinton was LW, but Willock mostly played out wide during the game, they used to alternate and switch during the game. Willock is key to a lot of the things we're currently missing, you realise this and what he brings so much more when you don't have him. Eddie had so many options when everyone is available, especially how many can operate in various roles, but he's just not had the fortune to test anything this year.

They perform better when Willock is in the team with them. Well Joelinton does especially, Gordon hasn't really had as much play time. Our best effective midfield is the Joe's and Bruno. We just flow better with those boys at maximum levels.

Get in there Joe Willock ? Reminds me how much we miss his dynamism. He definitely makes us better, hence why he's so high up the list.

Yeah you do, it was a bit of constructive criticism, but just maybe tone down the bollox you talk. ?

Sky need to ditch this Flex, and get KaKa. The KaKa knowledge base.

Stop trying to put a spin on what you actually do. Sorry I pointed it out, but you do it a lot. No need to get upset sunshine. KaKa Super scout

I trust the owners, I don't think they'd completely undo their laces and let the shoes fall off. They're not daft enough to know the hurt it would cause, I'm confident they'd persue or find an alternative method.

But you do this with lots of players you think we should sign? Acting like you've done some sort of intensive scouting Do you really mean you play a lot of Football Manager and watch plenty of YouTube clips.

This is how politicians get votes.

He won't
