Would be idiotic to not give him a new contract. He needs to prove he can stay fit but he has a heap of talent. Could be massive for us in the future.

Pretty sure that NUFC have agreed to loan Thauvin but have denied the right to buy option as part of the deal which means he'll more then likely be back here in 6 month.

Apart from against Northampton when he burried it like a english Robert Huth.

Least City winning means we wont be playing them at 12pm on a Sunday now.

Wouldn't of been my number one option but more then willing to give him a chance. Like Shelvey, he knows that if he performs then he has a realistic chance of making the Euros squad which can only be a good thing for us.

31 year old Sol Bamba of Leeds United linked with us now. Jesus wept.

Still recall bursting with pride for him as he made that tackle v Villa at home when it was 3 on 2 in their favour. Not sure he even meant to make the interception though. Could quite easily understand if he came out tomorrow and said he tripped over his own feet and the ball just hit him.

would suggest players like taylor, marveuex etc. will feature heavily. I see that but it still makes you question the thinking behind it all. I get that it gives fringe players a chance to play but with our injury record, its still taking a massive gamble on some of those named.

Absolutely mental that both clubs have agreed to this. Got disaster written all over it in my eyes.

Im all for him joining but I do fear that if he does join, we'll no longer be after a striker. I can't see Mitro being dropped so unless Sissoko is moved central then I can't see how it will work.

Odds on Townsend joining have dropped massively again

Problems start from the very top but Stevey Mc is certainly proving that hes way out of his depth though.

Cracking goal too.

Aarons would be my preferred choice but think its a cert he will go for the safe option of sticking Lascelles there.

Gomis is what puts you over the edge? really? Perhaps not, but still. He's dreadful.

I give up if we sign Gomis.

Head says 1-1 Heart says 2-1 Newcastle.

To be fair, we definitely need a winger. Only width we have is Janmaat. We do have Aarons and Thauvin that we should be using though. I'd have more confidence in them 2 starting over Townsend.

Skysports reporting that a deal for Townsend is back on and edging closer. All very tiresome for someone that we dont really need.

How? It states he'd rather join someone else. And that the Chairman has told him he's not going anywhere.

Not a big fan of goalkeeper captains. Joe Allen would of been my pick from the starting 11.

Enrique made captain tonight. Good god.

Pato apparently close to wrapping up a deal to sign for Chelsea. May let them allow Remy to leave if so..

Stick your money on Villa, Napoli, PSG, Celtic & WBA. Absolute cert I didn't win but I'm pleased I didn't follow this either Typical of Italian football to do me over. Corrupt as shit.

Agree with this, not seen much of Pickford but Pantillimon is a far better keeper than Mannone for me.
