I look at it this way, if you judge a player on his first 6 months at a new club, you're often proven to be wrong.

Not if he's a shit agent only looking out for himself

Good point.

No reason Wood can't get 8-10 goals as back-up to Wilson.

Talking about £1000 bets, and £35 million as "not a lot of money" in the current climate, is bit fucking tone deaf, like.

Without Wilson and Trppier for the most part. We're a guaranteed top ten club, where we finish depends upon how the other teams perform. We could easily do a Leicester, but Liverpool and City are way better than they were then, so 3rd could be our highest possibility.

We had to make do with a handled thermos flask, pretending it was a camera. we did get a few interviews, like. Just none of them were recorded.

Still don't think you can put a price on Wood's value. Without that signing we had no plan to work on besides, get the ball to Maxi. which wouldn't helped the massive transformation over such a short period of time. Wed be down.

How much was Woodgate?

Aye. But the majority of that will come from longstaff. Can't see us getting more than £2m for Dummett.

As long as we're prepared to pay those bribes fines, we'll be alright.

Normally when it affects you directly.

Me and my mate went in, aged 15. The bloke asked if we were 18, we said yes, he pretended to believe us then sold us something that would have got a PG rating in the 50s.

Parasites feeding parasites.

I've only seen very little of him and the bits I saw involved him defending high up, outmuscling the attacker trying to outrun him. Sounds like he's got everything he needs to make up for any perceived lack of pace.

I'm all fr playing him on the right but you want him getting to the by=line.

It's not blind trust, tbf. Howe fills me with confidence with everything he says. and every player he gives a contract to. Why would I question this decision?

When it's Ashley picking the boys I agree. I trust Howe's decision. I'm not certain but I'm sure Dummett has been getting his coaching badges, so where do you want him to go to learn his trade? Is he not better learning it alongside Howe?

What kind of profit do you think they are envisaging? I know they say look after the pennies.. but howay.

Yes but Dummett has value to the club in other areas. And could be here for years to come in a coaching capacity.

That was just a caveat. My main thought is that you can't be stretched for squad places AND overloaded with deadwood.

No guarantee he gats a squad place, but I think there's room for him. Don't think we're going out and buying 10 new players so he'll probably be ok. I don't think we're stretched at all. There is a lot of deadwood to shift.

Dummett's a local lad with great attitude. Like Burn but more history at the club. Think he's worth more to us in a mentor role than what we could probably get in transfer fee. Could end up as a coach.

Attackers need to get around him in order to accelerate away from him.

I think the rumour is he has a release clause of £60 mill. If so we could still get him for less.
