Celtic are going to get bummed Into oblivion! Leicester should go through. The same teams always seem to play each other too

I like Diame but he isn't a number 10. Get a creative midfielder in to play behind Gayle and Diame can slot in centre midfield with Hayden, would be so much better for it. We are an injury to him away from colback been a regular and having nobody to play that AMC role

Meaning they have to buy him? Why not just make it a normal transfer

Zaza to West Ham on loan. Seems an awful lot of loan deals happening.

We've only needed a winger and striker for about 3 weeks, like. And a left back and playmaker for years

Play them twice at home in the space of 4 days then.

I said it would end up been whoever we play that week. I said QPR as thought the next round was a week earlier

I was thinking that but looking at the other teams we still look slightly better than them on paper at least and surely there will be a couple more in by next Wednesday too Main isssue this season is we look to have a lot of average players who aren't much better than the other promotion contenders players, we are just relying on Ritchie, Gayle and maybe Diame whilst hoping Perez and mitrovic will contribute enough. Likes of dummett Clark Hanley Anita colback Shelvey gouffran etc wouldn't get in a few teams in this league

Cheers. I have a week off then so hopefully a good tie!

When is the next round?

Be about 22.30 now seen as its went to ET ?

13,979 official attendance for the mackems tonight.

It's highly likely he won't try. Then we are stuck with someone who we maybe could of still got decent money for on the sidelines. Like the post earlier says we will all be glad when this saga is over

That would have been right in the past but we seem to spend the money we get on replacements now, actually functioning as a football club again. Sure Rafa would get the money to spend but like I say there's been no bids so it's not even a choice for us at the moment. Whether there has been no bids due to our asking price or just no firm interest in general

Boufal to Southampton for 20m is close according to Sky sports. Wonder if he will fair better than some other expensive French attacking midfielders in the premiership or will be another thauvin or cabella

Then we potentially have lost out on millions or a quality motivated player as his replacement that the risk. There has been no bids apparently but maybe we could of got 20m for him. That would get us a couple of quality players who want to be here. That's far better than having Sissoko sulking on the sidelines

It is. People expect him to stay and tear it up but I can't see him giving a f***. If there's been no bids as reported though then it's not a risk, we have no choice. If he gave his all I would be happy to keep him but been as he is I think it's the best outcome that he goes soon and we get in one or two quality players with the money

Strange move. Will be a millionaire and could have a easy life back home or in some exotic place yet goes to outer Russia. They are skint aren't they so can't even be for the money

Feels strange not being confident about us in championship games. Last time here every game we expected to win and back in may I thought we would walk it, now there seems to be some doubts about going up never mind walking it like we thought. Early days I know but the attitude to games has certainly changed due to the 2 defeats

This

Guessing qpr away. Teams oftern seem to play the same fixture in the league and cup in the same week

When is the next round played?

As much as we don't look a great team and these are one of the best teams in the league and there squad looks a lot worse than ours. On paper even though we look weak and average in places it still looks better than the rest have got

Yeah it won't happen they will want around 20m and rightly so which is too much. Must be some quality playmakers who we could get for less than that though We would be twice the team with a playmaker. We are fairly solid at the back now and have good options going forward just need someone to knit it all together and help us dominate games as at the moment we seem to be you have the ball we have the ball kick and rush style

Should be beating these if we are good enough for top 2 2-1
