Vesty can put his feet up with Kjaer, Christensen and Andersen all ahead of him in the pecking order

He was a mainstay in the side which started the season so well, multiple clean sheets and a last minute equaliser against Chelsea. He also didnt play in the 9-0 debacle against United. You can argue it both ways, fact is Vestergaard like our other CBs is capable of throwing a few disasters in there, thats why hes at us. We can explore new CB options all we like, but there also needs to be recognition from Ralph that our defensive shape at times is shambolic. That rests with him and the style of play he employs

This forum is pathetic at times. Vestergaard has went from being 'worse than Hoedt' at the start of season, to being easily our best CB around xmas and now following a bad game today (which all players have) hes useless again and we need to get rid. Currently none of our current CBs are better than Vestergaard, its not even debatable. Bednarek has been particularly poor for large parts of this season, Salisu may be the future but hes still learning and Stephens is average. Im personally hoping he signs a new deal, but if he doesnt and we have to move him on, we need to get the replacement bang on as our other CB options are hardly inspiring

Yeah because whoever we replace Ralph with will work wonders with the likes of McCarthy, Bednarek, Stephens, Redmond, Walcott and Minamino. He deserves alot of criticism but christ the night Pep would struggle with these fuckwits

McCarthy has been dreadful the last few times hes played. Cant expect to compete at a decent level with pish keepers. Need to clear McCarthy, Gunn and Forster out and start again in the summer. Dave Watson can fuck off aswell

Move on Elyounnoussi and Djenepo, bring in Danjuma. Bournemouth will have to start cashing in on some of their best players as their parachute payments will be dropping

Jeez I thought the #oohdanishfriends maybe gave it away that I was joking. Still think Vesty signs a new contract regardless of any interest in Delaney

Most important for me was coming from 2 down to beat Burnley. Ended our terrible run, showed that we do have some fight in us at times and pretty much confirmed our safety. Favourite game of the season though was the home win vs Everton. They were flying high (top potentially), talk of CL football for them despite the season being young and we absolutely took them apart. Could have been 4 or 5-0. Very enjoyable

How do you know #oohdanishfriends

Hopefully Delaney signing would convince Vestergaard to extend his contract as well 🤞🏼

Ralph out!!

Cant see it. They have Cavani, Rashford, Greenwood and Martial all vying for positions. Would need to move Martial on before they can consider Ings. United will likely focus their efforts on Sancho again

To be honest, the quality of coaches around Ralph can only be blamed on Ralph. With the level of autonomy hes allowed at this club already, if he wasnt happy with the coaches around him he could click his fingers and changes would be made. He cant claim that hes been lumbered with these coaches and not able to do anything about it

Bye Bye McCarthy. Good luck in the championship 👋🏻

Fortune for it to be two. Luckily they had McCarthy to thank

Not convinced we'll be looking to spend any money on a keeper as we've other priorities. Although Vaclik will be available on a free and if the option is there we should look at it

Great job when hes been given about 200 million to build his team

You really wanted Leicester to win with cockheads like Vardy, Maddison and Schmeichel. Cant like them at all

Just think if we had have had a go in the semi final this could have been us leading in the cup final. Chelsea have been very average

Think we all know that hes inconsistent. I would refer to him as a 'second striker' because hes not as good as Ings and doesnt score as many, its as plain and simple as that. But as has been shown repeatedly on here, Che's goals/assists stats for a 'second striker' are easily better than most other second strikers in the league. Yet some on here think we should be doing better

Couldnt agree more. If we let him go in the summer and a replacement doesnt work out (a la Carrillo), we're relegated simple as that. There just isnt enough goals in the side outside of him at present. Yes we will miss out on a significant fee for Ings (£15-20m probably) if he doesnt sign a new contract, but at least we will have his services/goals for another season and have time to see how the replacement beds in. If they dont appear to meet the required levels, then we have further transfer windows to address that before Ings leaves on a free. Forgoing £20 million this summer will be nothing compared to losing our PL status and the financial hole that comes with that. Given our financial state however, there will be pressure from the hierarchy to move Ings on and receive a substantial fee.

No need. Many on here have seen a short snippet of him playing against England u21s and already decided he's the best player to come out of our academy in 10 years. It would be good to see more of the kid however

Good solid win. Could have been more if we had been more clinical with final passes in the final third, but then Forster saved our bacon too. After the first 15/20 mins which was passive at best, we were alot more direct at times which was pleasing to see. Good perfomances all over the pitch, particularly Armstrong, JWP, Forster, Ings and Adams. The JWP/Armstrong partnership in the middle is becoming more pleasing each game. Salisu very composed when he came on. Thought Redmond and Taki were very wasteful in possession but thats not surprising. Definitely think we could pick up another 6/7 points with our remaining fixtures and who knows 12th might still be achievable. Lets finish strong
