Tbf, half of the stadium isn't open...!

Going to Middlesbrough I think too.

Difficult to say he's failed at Boro, been an excellent signing for them and one of their best players...

If the club are that willing to get rid, then they'll accept the lower price. Not sure I'd be overly happy with us spending £13m on a 33year old centre back who is going to be on upwards of £80k per week.

Also pointless taking into account the Norwich game, where we were always going to rotate players. In addition, with so many games over the Christmas period, all clubs rotated. Between Everton and Liverpool we only had 3 changes, one of which was VVD who was banned for Everton replacing Fonte who is AWOL.... Not saying I am a fan of the rotation at all, but you can't go the whole season playing 11 players, especially not when we have played probably the most games out of anyone in the league this season? Our midfielders are also much of a muchness, there is not a huge amount between Clasie/JWP/Davis/Hojbjerg so choosing 2 of those alongside Romeu is likely dependant on opposition.

Fonte / Payet swap deal ?

He's so lazy, did absolutely nothing and is a diving b4stard too!

Wonder how he felt watching on last night, just another step for the clubs journey that he's been a part of for so long. Wonder if he wished he was out there on the pitch.

Jay is a far better footballer, and can score goals so it has to be Jay. Thought he was superb last night.

Certainly don't want Sturridge.

We did however score more goals and the most successful part of last season was between Feb and the end of the season. I dont think we have the quality to go on a similar run this season. We shall see.. Out of interest, do you have a goals per game average?

Lol, my hope for him has waned....he needs to leave for his sake.

Yeah agree, probably because he is such a fabulous manager and his teams are great to watch - and I hate Spurs.

If it's not this then there is something wrong. Forget about the academy for 1 game, and play our best side.

Signed him on FM, been a great signing for me. ?

My Boro supporting pal reckons they're getting Delofeu and Snodgrass this window...

I wouldn't expect them to be offered more than £10m bearing in mind his contract is up in the summer...why would you?

I think he will definitely go this summer, just not sure it'll be to who he hoped for....Man Utd/Everton. Might well find himself in a relegation battle.

Has he denied it? I've not seen anything from him since the news came out last week? I only saw his post on Instagram saying he wasn't being offered a new contract at the start of the season...?

Not being considered for Wednesday. Shame.

Yeah - heard about that one last week. Be interested to see how Batshuayi gets on there, might well score them the gals to keep them up.

At the start of the season I would have said top half and a really decent go in Europe. Europe has gone, so I would have expected top 8. (Too 6 already finalised). Only change is because of the drop in quality we have seen this year, I can't see us doing that. With this squad I still expect top half, and with a bit of investment in Jan it's possible...

Another game, just what we needed!!

2-2
