Like Beto, shown a massive improvement since Moyes come on. Looking forward to him continuing this next season.

Nice that he want's to play instead of just sitting on the bench. Hope he does well again wherever he goes.

One thing Moyes does really, really well when given the chance is galvanise a dressing room. He seems to have got the most out of this group in the majority of his games since he took over. The players seem to be playing and working hard for each...

By “these players,” I presume you mean “all players,” which suggests you think footballers have identikit personality and preference sets printed out for them. They are just people, and people have different priorities. A player who wants to...

….i doubt that will be the case if Moyes suggests we’re ‘behind the black ball’. I actually believe he’ll think we’re a viable option, although i’m not overly concerned if he comes here or not. I do think our public interest in Delap is a strong...

Guys stop the negativity please We are not getting smashed

The other side is an inexperienced young striker for £30mill who had a flash in the pan 1st season (countless examples of relegation sides having goalscorers, Bamford for Leeds scored 17 in his first season for example, Josh King etc) that...

Managers lie, especially in press conferences. I think it is pretty evident that he despises some of them and can't wait until they leave. Unfortunately because of PSR a massive turn around of 14/15 players is not possible unless you are one of...

I'd guess the first bit just means relatively speaking, like we're offering them all some sort of contract but whether it's the type of deal they're likely to accept is a different matter. I'm all for a big reset but the truth is we need way too...

That’s a belter he’s nearly 28, funny how no sod wanted him when he was playing in a crap Newcastle team and you could have got him cheaply and at a good age, when they got relegated. Now he’s a bit part in a good Newcastle side, he’s a very...

I think it's a reasonable approach from the club. They offer something useful at a certain wage level. If that can't be agreed on, fair enough. Onwards.

It's been said hundreds of times but any promising young player going to Utd wants their head checked. Can't believe they keep doing it. This was a really interesting one because it exposed so badly the gulf at the time between recruitment teams...

Why do people keep obsessing with Delap. He hasn't even been that good this season. His goal ratio to minutes is worse than Beto. He even has a worse goals to minutes than fellow Ipswich striker George Hirst who has 0.47, Beto has 0.5 and delap...
