Hold on could you expand on what you're saying here? Are you saying that a goalkeeper who is equally adept at other skills such as distribution, organising defence etc but worse at shot stopping will concede the same amount as another keeper who is better at it?

So is that the same the other way round too? Could someone rubbish replace Ederson and have conceded a similar amount?

So your contention is that we woukd have conceded roughly the same amount whoever was in goal and that the quality of goalkeeper makes no difference?

If we start tonight with a midfield of Lavia jwp Tella Alcaraz Is that the best midfield that's ever played in the championship? I'd like to see it just for that reason alone.

Probably ship him out on loan and pay the majority of his wages.

Apparently isn't a great shot stopper which is disheartening as that's the same as Bazunu.

So Martin has confirmed we won't be signing another cb unless one leaves. Really need Lyanco or ABK to leave then.

Agreed. Jwp clearly wants to go. I'm just pleased we get to see him at least one more time for saints. Would be great if he scored.

Agreed the players we really would like to keep are JWP, Tella, Sulemana, KWP, Lavia, Alcaraz So that's six players. I think we will do well to keep two of them so we would need four quality replacements imo.

Can't see us getting rid of Bree or Mara and no idea about Larios. Djenepo and McCarthy I'll grant you

Onuachu, kwp, ABK, Adams, Tella, Lavia, JWP, Perraud, Lyanco Not sure we can get to 10 without losing Alcaraz at well which really would be all of our half decent players from last year.

I can see them having a slow start again and binning Moyes.

I know it was a few years ago but we sold mane for 25. Tino has made us a huge profit that the vast majority of championship clubs would kill for and he's just had a serious injury and didn't look amazing in pre season. Personally I think it's a great deal if he had to go.

That's a little disrespectful. I'd love him to be great this year I just haven't seen much yet that gives me the impression he will be.

I think he will end up being a decent keeper. My problem is he isn't one at the moment and is too young to be first choice for a promotion chasing team. Hopefully I'm wrong but I haven't seen anything to give me any more confidence yet.

I'm not sure why you get that impression at all. The main difference between us and other championship clubs is that we have largely held fir on sales to get what we deserve in terms of value.

Not bizarre at all. In fact entirely normal.

Probably because we see Bazunu as first choice so need someone who is prepared to essentially be a backup keeper. Not saying I agree with it but that will be the thinking.

I think you need a bit of a reality check. We should count ourselves lucky that we aren't rolling over and getting players out. I read somewhere that Leeds lost three players that cost them many multiple millions and got a tiny amount for them. Getting 40 million in the championship is incredible business even if the player itself is a loss.

Max Aarons in please.

His source is obviously something to do with the first team because he knew when Manning was at the training ground and other things about attendance. I'd believe what he says personally.

What's kasey Keller doing nowadays?

Genius. Bring in a worse keeper so we are all gagging for Bazunu and he looks like Buffon by comparison.

Seems an odd thing for Martin to omit no? He seemed pretty candid in reference to other players. You'd think if he was going he would have just said as much in the press conference. It will become pretty obvious by tomorrow anyway.

That's what I mean. Other than the two mentioned he said no one else injured.
