Sounds like a top bloke and a great guy to have around the place. Also seems like the joker of the pack. Glad he didnt play much this season though, as I think he would have been terrorised.

If Butterfield and Harding play quite a few games for us next year then we will be relegated. Simples.

Yer not sure why though...bargaining power as a swap deal maybe so he didnt leave for free ? Odd decision on the face of it though.

Lee Dickson ?! ha Ryan Dickson you mean !! Wouldn't be surprised to see Puncheon gone either. Would say that one of Butterfield and Frazer will also be got rid of with us bringing in another RB.

Lallana/Davis or Schneiderlin. Think it's Lallana though.

Dont think he's leaving, he'll be part of the coaching set up no doubt.

Surely something must have happened behind the scenes.

Be surprised if we're interested in him, unless it's back up for Rickie....and I can't imagine him coming here for that.

He needs games. Could see him going to somewhere like Everton, Liverpool or Newcastle though.

Could Keith Andrews be worth a punt?

True but just cant see him going back there...Just like I couldnt see Hooiveld going back to Celtic.

Yer he was there, don't think they particularly liked him though. I know my mates were more than happy when he left.

I dont think he will stay at Everton. He basically said goodbye and thankyou on Twitter.

I'd probably rather have Ngog that Yakubu or Owen. Bolton to have a few decent players. Holden, Klasnic, M Davies, Petrov, for starters

As expected really!

Pretty sure this is just someone making up stuff, and has no links whatsoever.

Well we are a newly promoted team. If a club was to come in for him who was an established prem club with good funds I think he's have to think about it. We're hardly the biggest club in the world...

Almost worth a tenner to ease the pain if he did leave !

Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Newcastle, Arsenal, Villa, Everton for starters....

Where have you heard this ? Can't imagine it will happen but there could possibly be something in it.

Yer I do agree, Matt Phillips looks class. Wish we'd signed him from Wycombe when Blackpool did.

Still....lets not forget that we have to play Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle, Everton and Liverpool, twice, which is in total 16 games and a possible 48 points....We need to be able to compete and with those additions I think we would struggle.
