You mean a "matchwinner"....we don't have one, at the moment I'd probably say Graziano...

Sign a new contract? I think he'll see his current one out, and then leave next summer. Sure this will affect the players though, as the majority of them are his buys. Hopefully we'll show some real ambition this summer and get him to sign a new deal.

Pinch of salt I think. Should get mega bucks for him if he goes to Chelsea - and maybe a chance to do a swap for Begovic which wouldn't be the worst of deals.

Legend, what a special player he was. Would be worth a fortune in todays market, not sure where he'd play in a 4-2-3-1 mind...

Pretty certain that 8th doesn't get Europe whatever happens. I have full trust in Ronald. If we keep everyone, then we probably need a RB and maybe another attacking player. Possibly a backup keeper assuming Stekelenburg will go back to Fulham or go elsewhere. Baring in mind that Wanyama and Mane are 90% gone, I'd like to see us go and buy a top young wide player, and another CM (unless Romeu is the replacement and Reed steps up). At the end of the day, if we offer the money, then players will come. Would love to get Chamberlain back and we can help him rebuild his career.

How would it work, 44 people to play a half each?!

Mane and Wanyama are pretty much certainties, despite both having pretty poor seasons. VVD is the concern as he's been brilliant, but we've lost a CB every year, and replaced them with someone as good. Think he'll stay as long as Koeman does, for atleast another season. Clubs may be after Forster, however I can't see him going just yet. Liverpool would make the most sense.

Did a brilliant job in the NPC though, which was what he was bought for....

I'm not very good, but would be happy to get involved depending on price....Surely Steve could get us a deal

Got no problem with this.

Fair enough - I thought it was only a niggle. Stick JWP in there then, don't think we need a trio of Wanyama/Clasie/Romeu for Everton away.

Yes - would take him in a heartbeat.

There was something online about this today I read. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3535382/Ronald-Koeman-criticises-smartphone-obsession-modern-players.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

Should beat them on current form, however when a team is out of form, we're normally the team that gives them 3 points !

We always beat Newcastle at home....3 points.

Good player, bit of a shame about his limited playing time this year, but a victim of us signing an additional DM this season, and JWP playing in a deeper role. He has Wanyama, Romeu, Clasie and JWP all in front of him. Even Davis has played in that deeper role this season. Supposedly we wanted a big fee for clubs to let him out on loan.

http://www.mfc.co.uk/news/article/2016/middlesbrough-riverside-stadium-huddersfield-town-3045456.aspx? Clever turn from Gaston for the Pen, and nice free kick, second goal was very well finished after good work closing down....looks confident, good on him,

Think he is more than capable of doing a job for us, certainly not a lot between him and Tadic. His biggest problem was his wages, we can't afford to have a squad player on £65k/week. He's capable, he showed it in his first season with us, however it hasn't worked for him here. He didn't fit Pochettino's system. Given a chance I think he could do well for us, but he's not going to be so lets move on.

Great prices - should be a great night.
