If we loaned a player to a rival this place would kick off. And rightly so. It was bad enough when we gave some cash to Burnley. I see your point from a player side but I think mid season it's fair enough. If they did the same I the summer I'd agree more.

I'm really surprised someone has not taken him. He's not been great for us but has always done well at international level when I've seen him.

Totally logical and seemed obvious weeks ago.

I guess that would mean the probability of us getting a loan from them is very small. They’d loan to any team they’re not competing with first. who knows though. I was wrong on Gordon. I didn’t think he’d end up here.

Why would they loan a player to us?

I hope he is good. It's important for him to get game time to demonstrate we have a youth route to the 1st team.

We wanted him so I'm glad we got him. When I've seen him play he's looked ok. What's most worrying is the Everton fans opinion. I hope being the main man at 21 in a shit team has held him back.

Fair point. I guess it will depend whether Dyche has sold himself like Eddie did in terms of their current squad under performing and how he can improve them. Or that he needs a kitty. Maybe they went for Dyche as he said he doesn't need many new players.

My gut says he doesn't end up here. It's one of two things why he turned up today. To say goodbye or to chat to Dyche. I link its the latter and Dyche will want to keep him and convince him/tell him he has no choice.

they hate us and are paranoid as fuck. I don't believe it for a second. Just a nice forum fairy tale.

They’re in the position we were when we lost Rafa. Bruce was allegedly about 10th choice as no one would join us. With the narrative that it’s not Lampard fault and all on the owners they’re going to find it thought to get a quality manager.

This was his worst game in a bit. nothing seemed to come off for him tonight.

When he’s playing like this he’s almost impossible to stop legally.

He’s annoying when he’s not got the ball 100% under control. All legs. But when he has he’s brilliant. Last 15 minutes he seemed to be everywhere. He needs to start so he’s not trying to fit a match into 25 mins.

How many euros places are there? It looks like there are 7 in the league but I can't tell if that is assuming the top 7 win the cups or if someone else wins the cups it could be up to 9th.
