Excellent servant to the club. Eminently replaceable however, direct free-kicks aside. Good luck with the Hammers. With Moyes likely being sacked in the first 3 or 4 months of the season, its a massive gamble.

Agreed. There’ll be plenty of late suitors for him who will take him for his versatility.

Because we have 45 more league games this season. A cup run is really not needed this season.

With a 46 game league season ahead of us, best result we can hope for tonight is a loss. Last thing we need is a cup run.

He’s had all summer in training to do this and still can’t get a kick in a pre season friendly. He’s shite mate. Even his highlight real on YouTube is hilariously shit. Sooner he’s out the club, the better.

I’ll go for JWP. Full of running and an assist when others in his position would be trying to force through a move elsewhere.

Are you suggesting we stick Bezos and Obama in midfield for the forthcoming season?

Massive question marks over his temperament and overall bottle though for me. It’s a big gamble for anyone. Physically he’s got everything required but mentally I’m not so sure.

I think a more accurate summary is he's probably most clubs 4th, 5th or 6th choice and will only be moved for once all other avenues have been exhausted. As with most of our players who will be gone by the end of the window. Can't see many of them being a first choice pick.

Proper big time Charlie. Took his kids out of a local private school “due to security reasons” because a handful of kids asked for his autograph at an open day! Good riddance.

I think it’d be hilarious if we get to the end of the transfer window and Newcastle announce the loan signings of Benzema, Neves and Kante.

Most exciting/shrewd signing since SR took over in my opinion.

Lets hope he's got better vision than his great uncle, Ray.

I reckon Martin will want to bring his own in if JWP goes. There’s not really any natural replacement already in the squad other than potentially Stephens but he is currently probably our 4th choice centre back.

I enjoyed George Burley's Ipswich quite a bit too. Had some decent players. Bramble, Reuser, Finidi George, Magilton, Holland, the Bents, Marcus Stewart. Didn't they finish 5th around then?

Out of his depth from day 1 and should never have been given the job permanently when caretaker. Embarrassing that the ownership basically gave up on our Premier League status at such a relatively early stage of the season.

Everton. Don’t care who else just as long as them whiny c*nts go down.

They showed more fight, grit and urgency in their game today than we have in 36 games combined this season.

Arsenal home and away. He was brilliant in not turning up and I hope we see more of the same from him next season.

We showed some bottle and urgency in the last battle. Nothing of the sort in this one.

Cheerio for now Premier League. Inevitable now for a few seasons but it’s been a hell of a ride.

Why is this a massive game? Ship has well and truly sailed guys. We are down.

Fucking spineless bottle jobs. Bazunu is shite.

Sleep walk towards a boring goalless draw, creating next to nothing all game and then concede in the last 10 mins to lose 1-0.

Dean Richards on a free and selling 2/3 years later for £8m is pretty decent business I’d say. In todays money that’s probably be around £20m.
