I’d be surprised if talk of the Serb is anything more than agent talk. Still think we’ll end up with Kone, Sangare or the young Thuram.

Type of game and opposition that used to always cause us problems. It’ll be a bit like after the Lord Mayor’s show today and 2pm kick off won’t help atmosphere. Big test against in form opposition, be very impressed if we grind out a win today

God hope not nobody can face Murphy starting again after last Saturday.

Aye can come off the bench for last 10 mins for Kavarodona next season.

Never seen him play but has always been linked with the top clubs. Not sure being athletic appears to be the top priority if we’re being linked with Maddison, Neves and this guy. ‘Milinkovic-Savic is a box-to-box midfielder and is at his best when he gets forward. He can create and score goals. He registered 11 goals and 11 assists last season in 37 appearances in the Serie A season which is very respectable’.

They’re fucking soft as shite always have been, the casualties were rated by nobody when hooliganism was in its hey day.

Wolves will be a real test aswell they’ve picked up well under this new manager and we’re robbed against the scousers. In saying that if they won their replay with scousers their 4th round tie would be nicely slap bang between the 2 legs. That might make them more favourable opponents than Forrest.

City have let some good young players slip through their academy, obviously a lot don’t see a pathway to the first team and must want out.

To be honest we used to do it anyway for all the Wembley trips, just think in the days of social media they tended to big it up. For all our Wembley trips we took over Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square. I do think though with not having been for so long this would be off the scale and every man and his dog would be down. We still gave great vocal support though especially against Arsenal and Chelsea I thought.

Think that went over your head.

Just enjoy the game mate.

Aye but loads of articles that’s he’s stood down as sporting director today. Might just be window dressing no idea, but their pursuit of Fernandez hasn’t been a good look.

Boehly has stood down today as their director of football and handed the reigns to Winstanley and Vivell from Red Bull. Think Winstanley played a big part in Brightons recruitment mind, for all we’re happy to have Ashton this bloke cleared played a big part. ‘Chelsea is pleased to announce that Paul Winstanley has been appointed to the role of Director of Global Talent and Transfers. Winstanley arrives at Stamford Bridge after eight years with Brighton & Hove Albion, initially as talent identification manager and then as head of recruitment’.

Of all the players being linked so far think Mudryk is the only one who’d I be really envious of going to Arsenal. Clearly Enzo would have been a real coup but looks like that’s dead until the summer. It used to be said that the well ran clubs stayed well clear of January, so whilst I’d love a splash I can’t say im to concerned as things stand. Think we’ve got our targets and unless they become available or there’s an injury crisis we could be quiet this month.

Not exactly prolific is he.

Keep our powder dry for Enzo and Khavaradona double swoop in the summer when we’ve qualified for the CL.

Loved Skunkers a time when men used to be men.

Very highly rated Alcaraz was touted as Enzo’s replacement at Benfica. Terem Moffi rumoured to be the striker, good record this season would be impressive signings if true.

Argh aye I’m sure Howe would have appreciated it was a Derby match, but just shows where not light years ahead just yet when you scratch beneath the 1st team.

Well they did put Shola in charge of loan moves so say no more.

The 3 mentioned looked out of their depth against league 1 opposition so not so sure on that.

Tell you what this lot would have undoubtedly beaten us on Saturday. Without even paying any attention to their current line up I would hazard a guess they’ve got better players than Lewis, Murphy and Wood in their current line up.

Chelsea or us ?

Huge game let’s hope St James wakes up from its flag waving slumber and offers some real vocal support like the old days. That’s what proper support is about and what we used to be famous for.

Rather he didn’t return at all seen absolutely nowt to suggest he’s a footballer. Looked out of his depth against league 1 players and like Murphy appears to have the heart of a pea.
