Slattery probably the most likely option from the academy. Davis or JWP if not.

That would be typical.

Good acoustics from the East Wing of Leitch Manor Tremendous listen as always, Ben.

I read it was a hamstring tweak. Pellegrini said that they will assess him & Balbuena before the game. (I didn't see the highlights so didn't see how serious it looked).

Watched the last 20 mins. It was fantastic.

Still can't believe Watford got Chalobah for £5m.

What price would you put on a young English midfielder who can't get a game in today's market?

They might just start Carroll. Hernandez went off injured against Watford.

Thanks for doing these, Bats.

Loves a goal against them.

Ah, he's a big loss for us. Looking at West Ham, Balbuena hurt his knee today. Unsure how bad it was. Arnautovic / Wilshere / Fredericks / Yarmolenko / Sanchez / Reid / Lanzini should all be out. Perez & Carroll will be back.

I'm old fashioned, but I want JWP to do well wherever he plays.

BIG game this one. They were on a 4 match run prior to losing to Watford (which is impressive given their injuries). A win would be amazing with City/Chelsea coming up after. Anderson the player to watch for them.

So happy with that. Incredible what Ralph has done with us so far.

Hope we are still looking at Sebastien Haller. Seems to have carried on scoring in Germany, tall, quick & mobile.

Yeah. Gabbi always seemed like one of the players most likely to have definitive interest in him too so no surprise he's linked (Again) with a move away.

What was the view on Butterfield? U18 results really picked up after he joined.

Probably a loan with an option to buy (for around the price you mentioned).
