Needs plenty of minutes over the next 6 months, just the risk you always take with a loan to the Championship is that the manager there quickly loses interest and discards him, making the whole exercise pointless. I'd see if a club around Europe fancies taking him?

Aww I'm very sorry to hear this mate. By the sounds of it there's nothing you could have done, clearly he was going through dark times but if he doesn't reach out, and you live so far apart that you don't physically see or hear about him, how were you at all to know? Please don't beat yourself...

He just said I've really hurt him and for that he doesn't want me as best man now, and that I shouldn't bother coming. Well yes... that is exactly what I was getting at. It's just nonsense how selfish and daft he has acted towards me the past 6 or so months. Selfish for trying to guilt me into...

Last night I finally bit the bullet and told him I will not be his best man and that's he's making a mistake by rushing into this whole marriage idea. He's of course reacted badly and I think that's likely it for our friendship. We have hardly spoken the last couple of months. I've had things...

50+ points. If we can manage 48 back-to-back with a limited squad and limited manager then surely we can improve on that by at least 5 points. The only thing is the new stadium, it could take us a few months to settle. I doubt we'll have 20 points by November personally. Got to be patient blues.

How can renewing a player who has demonstrably and undeniably shown himself to be awful be in anyway a positive thing? It's nothing other than pathetic. And if Dyche were still manager and done this they'd be absolute uproar.

Letting rip a proper loud fart when there's nobody else around.

People in favour of renewing him to be our fourth-choice aren't factoring in the fact that HE'S ABSOLUTELY CRAP. Enough of this nonsense, if Dyche were still manager and was wanting to give him a new deal they'd be uproar, and rightly so. Punt him and let him be someone's problem finally.

Chicoazul, or whatever profile name he uses. Tries far, far too hard.

His ego 100% ran away with him during his second spell. Walking around the place acting the big b******* with everybody when on the pitch he'd become a waste of time. Out injured or suspended almost permanently whilst being our highest earner. Moyes was right to challenge and banish him. Seems...

We sorely lack patience as a fanbase simply because we've been let down too many times. We've been lied too, lied about, and basically taken for granted for years and years. I blame most of it on the old regime, and the hold-overs of the one that was in place before that. The club was ran...

Cheers mate. I've listened to most of it now and there's a lot of other interesting bits as well. About Ancelotti - as brilliant a fella and manager as you'd imagine he is. Davide is meant to be great company as well. During their time here, Carlo's ex (Davide's mum) was very ill back in Italy...

£62.5m for Cunha. Yet the Big Rat says they'd have been bust by last Christmas had they not cut a couple of hundred minimum wage staff. Vile people.

Likely, he does remind me a lot of Cahill tbh. Moyes has preferred his no.10s to be tall and physical since the late 2000s, but if he's confident Alcaraz will chip in with goals he'll probably be a starter. Still think we'll get Soucek though.

Top half, I'd absolutely take that now. We have to be somewhat conservative, rarely do teams hit the ground running in new stadiums no matter how good it is. A slow start should't surprise anyone. 50+ points should be the aim.
