Gives everything every game & played very well again yesterday, hope he signs soon.

So good yesterday

Still only 24 this lad.
Probably our most important player now - makes us tick.
Must be close to getting recognition at national level.
But think Tuchel's picked his squad tbh - barring injuries.
Henderson deffo going for some reason.
Good to get new contract sorted asap.

Why haven’t we got him signed up yet?

Maybe because Moyes keeps making the contract up for Jimmy Gardener ?

we will sign him longer

Maybe lob in a bid in the summer when he’s sick of Dyche and/or that blert chairman needs scapegoats

He will have his choice of every team out there now, pretty much same as Wharton.
We have to spot these at the right time. Although Anderson was just a PSR sale by Newcastle..

In our squad the best trio is the one we saw today with Alcaraz at 10 ahead of KDH & Garner.

Just imagine how good a midfield we would have with Anderson or Wharton adding to the English duo.

Maybe Alcaraz can step up to that level but having a midfield base of KDH and Garner makes a huge difference.

Depends on whether you're incuding a fully fit Rohl in that squad.
KDH-Garner-Rohl with either Rohl or KDH in the advanced position.
Rohl adds more physicality and height, complimeting the other two.
If Rohl's up to it may be a very hard midfield to break through and rotation of KDH and Rohl would make for an interesting dynamic, and perhaps more potent attack than either Alcaraz or McNeil at 10.

Rohl hasn't proven anything yet. Lets see if he ever gets fit.

What is that? Never seen it.

We can only hope for this one
Can see him making a difference

He won’t, I’d be surprised if he gets any offers from better teams than us. He’s not a media favourite so will never get the recognition. I don’t think he’s anywhere near as good as Wharton or Anderson who could easily fit into the top teams. Garner is not like them, he is perfect for a more gritty team like us. I was always critical of him because he seemed too inconsistent and his versatility seemed to work against him. It’s no coincidence that he is improved under Moyes, him and KDH are classic Moyes players.

As much as I hope he stays as he is a key part of what we do he has been linked (yes its only paper talk) to teams that can offer more than what we can in terms of Euroball and wages.

They're doing ok when playing together.

The tricky part is adding the 3rd and then pace into the backline.

McNeil? Anderson will be going to a top 4 side along with Wharton you'd expect.

If we could bring in one of them though, it would be incredible.

Someone else suggested a cheeky bid. I was being facetious… not even zero chance we are getting him!
One will go to City, the other probably United or Strasbourg
