Fascists 😛 The "diverse" picture of the "British Forces" reminds me of seeing Burnley's first team squad picture from last season.... it wasn't the most diverse squad I've ever seen.

A 2 or 3 year contract extension for Danny would be the best bit of business we could do this summer. Clubs I fear could be sniffing: City - Aguero is on his way out, Danny would fit straight in there. Spurs - if Kane goes. Utd - Danny is an upgrade on Martial

Sweet jeebus! This thread... I barely remember seeing a game these days where someone associated to a club has died and both teams, both sets of fans, match officials, staff, TV... stand for a minutes silence - EVERYONE does it and your diseased brains see that dropping to a knee to respect a world issue for 10 seconds by a worldwide recognised competition, live tv pictures to billions of people, educating some and respecting others, is now a "pressure". FCK ME! You don't know what pressure is.

Shhhhh or everyone will try to stop Ings scoring..

And if Valery had started today.... I wonder who would've been on here questioning whether he's fit enough to start a game.. Tedious.

No - simple

You judged him on one game, in a semi-trolling way, that game where 3/4 of the attacking players were dog dirt. I hate lazy comparisons too but can see the value Long brings to the team.

If that’s your argument then you can shift on Armstrong, Djenopo and Boufal. For whatever reason we were diabolical in the final 3rd today.

Hard as nails. Quality defender.

Stunning

What would you say if you were a dinlo?

The same Ralph who openly admitted he lost the plot for a large part of this season. A return to 4 at the back and a return to Shane playing his part of a 2 upfront had led to better results. He currently plays the role better than Che or Obefemi, hopefully Che and Obefemi will progress in the next season and a half.

"Dinlos" seeing sense in the likely deal... ok.

Because currently you would still pick him ahead of all our other strikers bar Ings. While we await Che or Obafemi to emerge and establish themselves a new contract for Shane makes good sense to me.

Good news, deserves it.

What is there to sign?

Have we answered the question set by the thread title?

Dog dirt

Worry away if you must... I think the appointment of Crocker is to correct the awful state the academy has got itself in to. All that money on facilities and opportunities and they forget the basics... Crocker will sort it out.

Vertongen. The most overrated player in an overrated team.... and that superman goal celebration, pr1ck.

Go ahead... name some strikers who will fit the system nicely and score more goals.

I'm not aware of Long's intentions but as he fits our current system so well and whilst we are waiting to see how Obafemi improves over the next couple of seasons we should be offering Shane a new contract.

The logic in this place suggests that Arsenal are about to embark on the same run of wins as we have... who'd have thunk Cedric was the key.

Ok, ignore the "better player" of my statement and you're spot on.. The clubs operating model was exactly to invest to make a profit, our investments the past 2 to 3 seasons have overall been dreadful and we are sitting on a bad hand following those trades.

Except that having better players on longer contracts increases the asset value of the club... apart from that you're spot on
