Lucas Paqueta from West Ham linked. An attacking midfielder, I thought we had enough who can play that role but we shall see, personally I don't believe it's true. I would prefer a holding midfielder, protect the defence, a real hair pulling...

Nice work on the clips. Jack at it, best I've seen him for yonks. Final ball and passing in general were excellent. Got stuck in, too. Impressive, hoped he'd improve after Leeds, but didn't see that coming.

It’s a difference of opinion. But the talk after those early games was definitely how good he looked . And the discussion on here reflected that. He suffered an injury and has struggled to recover that early form. But I think he is well worth...

A season out on loan could do him the world of good, but we'll need another CM in next week for that to happen. Get him and Chermiti out on loan, if they impress give them opportunities next season, if not, sell in the summer.

I think most of the time he’s played in a team that isn’t set up well so it’s hard to judge him. You could argue he is part of that problem but I would like to see him play with our full team a few times when he actually has forward options to...

Fine athlete. Average footballer. Already had the obligatory loan in his career to play games. Not sure we can apply the “needs minutes” thing here. He is the player he is going to be. He’s not going to suddenly mature into Toure...

The problem with Gana is he wants the ball. So many players shirk from wanting it. The fella doesnt have an attacking bone in his body. Yet because he doesnt hix de, always ends up in those positions and its a waste. E.g. had the joint most...

I wanna believe this. What am I missing when I'm watching him. He doesn't control the middle, cross or pass particularly well. Gana's always been crap in front of goal and around the box, Tim seems the same to me... But I wanna give him a fair...

A player so in demand "we're" battling Leicester, Celtic and MLS.

Somewhere, Moyes smirks and says 'watch me'

You don’t have to worry about Spurs, there would be riots our end if we go in for him. Good player with the potential to become a top player, but we can’t be spending the best part of £50m on him, he is not ready to play Champions League football...

Entering my angsty pre-match 24hrs. Sent the family to in laws for lunch. I'm turning on the radio and doing gardening. Anything that distracts from our obvious lack of prep and readiness for this game, whilst simultaneously trying to ignore...

Let’s hope so 🤞

They'll not enjoy it today mate...but we will tomorrow with a barnstorming win with Barry and Beto bagging
