Wonder if he would be a decent RW option?

Lots of palace fans don’t seem too confident, seen a few say they expect Viera to go 5 at the back. not watched them at all this season so can’t comment but I had this impression they were more attacking than that now.

how can 2 journalists be at the same press conference and give different info?

No issue with it myself. If we just buckled and paid, it would cost us more in future on other deals. Also in Burn we now have a quality centre back as back up so it’s not worked out too badly.

By all accounts he wanted to join us, and would have been one for the future 11 not right now, do we think this one will be a goer in Jan? Last chance for West Ham to get a fee

Can see a couple of changes to the team for this one. Think Botman and Schar will come back in. Bruno too if fit. Hopefully Maxi can play but I doubt he will be ready. Pope Trippier Schar Botman Targett Bruno (Longstaff if not fit) Willock Joelinton ASM (Fraser if not fit) Isak Miggy Would also like to see Anderson come on for Willock a bit earlier around the 60/65 minute mark.

I have faith that if we are close to the European spots come January, we will try to bring some of our summer targets forward

I’m 99% sure nothing is happening now, however due to the surprise of Isak I can’t help but check this thread and Twitter every few minutes

Mad, especially if Watford wanted him and we want/wanted Pedro

Already been said but I agree he was good last night and his passing impressed me. Have to say I am glad nothing came of the chance where he fell on his arse as that would have gone viral for some time I imagine! But we are really stacked at CB now and it’s great to have the 4 we do. Burn/Lascelles is good enough to start against a lot of teams if needed.

picking someone up? (I’ve checked and it is going to East Midlands)

Nothing against him personally but he’s absolutely hopeless. Really hope we do something tomorrow to push him further down the pecking order.

Might have been offside but that was top class play

I reckon so

Early signs look good! looks very quick, good with his feet and that was a composed, emphatic finish.

Check the date

It was the Monday tea time which was the just after Ashworth and Nickson had flown to Spain according to the journos

He will be on the bench but I think he will get 15-20 minutes

I am no expert when it comes to this and usually any private jet we see could be anyone really - but flying from Newcastle Leeds? Surely there cannot be many people that would need to do that - only a shortish trip by car/train. Due to the time restraints of the window I think there is a high chance this flight could be linked to us.

Could be worse I guess…

The rumours were Watford moved the goal posts after Everton’s supposed interest, hoping for a bidding war. it doesn’t look like anyone else has actually gone in for him, so I can see our previous agreed deal resurfacing possibly.

I can’t remember exactly what he said but after watching the press conference this morning I felt like he didn’t completely rule him out of the game. edit - found the quote on club website: “He's doing well. I don't know about this game coming up, but hopefully not far after if he doesn't make this game.”

From Howes comments today I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if Bruno plays tomorrow.

I think Pedro could still happen late on, if Watford change their tune. It seems the deal was all but signed, and personal terms agreed, so if they do change their mind it would be pretty quick to finalise.
