Why bother with a weak, slow, lazy relegation contender midfielder. He's the typical tailwind player. Looks good when his team is in the flow. Does nothing to help drag his team out of a difficult situation. Don't see the point in spending 30/40/50m on someone that helps us win 3-0 instead of 2-0. Rather want a midfielder who can help us turn a defeat or draw into a win.

We see time and again players whose performances suffer in a terrible team with no direction.

Just seen the remaining games for Forest, they are down imo.

We got £30m for Sissoko alone and things have got crazier since then.  (Spurs to the rescue.)

Sissoko didn’t have one year left on his contract though. 
 

Literally can’t think of anyone who’s gone for that much with only a year left. Granted Kane will (and plenty more) if he goes this summer, but you’d be looking at £150m for him if he had longer.

[astraguy]

Thought it would be wolves considering they can't score,yesterday's result was huge. Hope it the Scouse mackems 

 

 

Without tunchels point, Chelsea would be in the battle ?

See I think he’ll inject some life into them and it’ll be enough. For their shitness they’re only 3 points from safety and their GD isn’t bad. Next game is Man City away mind, not really ideal for starting as you mean to go on.

Wolves leeds and Everton for them after man city. Think we will know after them 3 if they've gotta chance or not

Bournemouth keep surprising me like. Keep thinking they are nailed onto go down then they pick up a win

Aye same - wrote them off a few times. They play some decent football in fairness to them but just don’t finish games off. They’ve chucked some decent leads away this season too, Spurs and Arsenal spring to mind immediately. 

[The Fountain]

It's a great relegation battle. Twists and turns every weekend. Pleased we're on the outside looking in.

Fun watch

Hazard went for £80m with 1 year left.

Did he? Fair enough. Although he was probably in the top 5 players in the world at that point.

[The College Dropout]

With the contract situation and relegation Maddison can't go for anymore than £40m man.

If he goes for that price, bigger fish will be circling I think

[astraguy]

my god just looking at forests fixtures,They are done like Southampton 

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Im going for Southampton down with 3 games to go, Forest with 2 and Everton penultimate game.

 

league and top 4 sorted before the last game as well leaving a meaningless final day for sky to flog to death

[The Prophet]

Leicester are far from out of the woods, but if Smith gets a tune out of them we're looking at Leeds or Everton.

[Miggys First Goal]

It's such a great feeling knowing that this thread will never involve us again.

[HaydnNUFC]

If Everton lose against us and against Leicester next Monday they're going to go imo. Leeds look shocking but Everton have won 3 away games in 2 years, and their home game after us is Man City.

 

Fair play to Smith if he gets Leicester out of this. They looked gone 2 weeks ago.

Bournemouth do have Southampton and Leeds coming up, and Everton later on, so if they all went badly, they could maybe be dragged back into it, but it's kind of looking like 3 from 5, or rather 1 from 3 looking at the latest odds.

 

It'll still be Man City, and they'll still have a great team out, and want to win, and while they can't have secured the title by the time they play Everton, they could easily be 5/6/7 points clear with a game in hand and Arsenal only 3 games left (of course they could also lose to Arsenal and the title race be wide open), plus the match in sandwiched right in between their Real Madrid tie, so it might not be quite as daunting as it could / should be for Everton. That's kind of why I want the title race to go be live for as long as possible - Man City also have Brighton away on the second last day of the season and if they have the league in the bag, an FA Cup final and a CL final on their mind, again, that might be an opportunity for Brighton.

 

Probably looking at things a bit too closely here , but it is amazing how one set of results could have a major impact on another fixtures / European / relegation permutations down the line. Like today, that Burnley away match for QPR would be less intimidating had Burnley been in a legit promotion race.

[The Bonk]

I’m hoping there’s about 5 teams in the mix on the final day. Love the drama of the drop! It’s too bad Southampton didn’t beat Arsenal, that would have been extra spicy. Still, they aren’t out of it if they play like that the remainder of the season.

Whoa.

 

That's some Alan Pardew three years without scoring from a corner level shit.
