I’d be happier about this if it wasn’t in the Mirror.

Anderson's alright, Ij.

Ha!

 

[navidson]

I won't believe it until Sportsmole says its so

Love that mole

I don’t think he’s going to learn anything new in Spain. I think we will be safe, just. If he goes to Newcastle and gets starts and does well then we may have a new dynamic for next season.

..the reports indicate Allardyce thinks Ramirez may still have a future at Everton which surprises me a little.

..irony is I don’t think he’s playing as a conventional LB for Bristol. His sister is a GB athlete.

 

[f.t.r.s]

We were originally linked with Bryan on the 20th December 2017

Seeing as we've needed a LB for the past 3 months why has this deal just not been done yet?

chance of winning something with them? promotion maybe?

 

[Paulie]

As well as a LB we also need a beast in midfield. Someone as close to Pogba as we can, somebody able to hold the ball up in the middle and dictate play. Yesterday all game nobody in the middle took responsibility. Gylfi tried I suppose but was too slow and kept being caught in possession. Mccarthy picked the ball up but is limited and Schneiderlin was just hiding or passing side and back. We miss Barkley in my opinion. So we haven't replaced him with someone who can pick the ball up with back to goal and turn and run with the ball.

He switches between a left winger and a left back, on a game-by-game basis or often in games (usually they take Magnusson off and Bryan will switch back to LB).

League Cup semi-final probably has something to do with it.

Yeh I thought he was more of a wing back

 

[efcjames]

Another overwhelming sense of false hope is just what we need.

 

[Dymak]

Does the 7 million pound valuation sound accurate? Sounds kind of cheap in this day and age?

Midfield needs ripping up tbh. I’d like to see something like NZonzi and Fabregas. (Not that that’s likely)

 

[tim cahill]

Disagree personally. The fact we can can't create any chances for our forwards is a massive worry.

It is but it’s no coincidence that all of our creative players are struggling. It’s because our midfield is hopeless (our full backs offering very little doesn’t help either).

Messi would struggle up front for us at the moment.
