I think the enforced break for injury has helped him recover from being a bit fatigued. Great to see some form from him today As for his contract, I think it’s clear he’ll see who comes in for him in the summer. If it’s someone good he’ll go, if not he’ll sign a new contract I expect.

Why aren’t you talking amount?? That’s the very definition of better in football terms. Would you rather a 10 goal a season striker who only scores screamers, or a 20 goal striker who only scores tap-ins???

Is JWP a £50m player? No Should we be selling someone like JWP for less than £50m? No! JWP is great for teams like us. He’s a very good Premier League player, but is not good enough to make the first team of the top 6/7. We should never sell for anything other than a stupid offer, as for the money we raise from his sale otherwise won’t be enough to effectively replace him.

I hope he paid the club the 5p bag tax...

You can play it via Xbox game pass ultimate, which will allow you to install and play the game on pc, albeit not on steam I believe. if you’ve not used game pass ultimate before you can get 3 months for £1. I would guess Save’s would then be compatible if you buy a steam copy later but don’t know for sure https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/xbox-game-pass-ultimate/cfq7ttc0khs0?activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab

Where’s the old lady going past on her mobility scooter??

I think we’re about Ralph’s level tbh, which suits us as long as he’s happy to stay. He’s shown in recent weeks he’s not particularly adaptable and cannot handle certain situations as a coach. However when it’s working we play great football and can punch above our weight.

Do you really believe ings is playing shite deliberately in order to lower his transfer price?? 😂 You do realise the Euros are this summer and this is arguably Ings last change to get to a international tournament? He’s not going to throw that chance away just so Spuds will sign him... Ings is out of form no question, but I’ve no doubt he’s trying his best to play well and bang in the goals. Whether he leaves in the summer or not.

Thanks for this. Do you know if this is likely to be the last update to the match engine? I’m thinking of starting a new game but want to wait until they’ve finished messing with it.

Where did you hear the £10m? Regardless if he did well we were never going to get him for that price and Liverpool never sell players cheap. That’s why it needed to be an option, and if he does well Liverpool will want to keep him anyway. Their fans are keen to see him have a proper run out for them

Seems a strange one given there’s no option to buy. If he does well we’ll likely be unable to afford him. Pool sold Brewster for £20+m so who knows what a good player is worth!

Or maybe they’ve realised they cannot just pluck most players direct from u23s into the premier league and that our youth need competitive football against experienced players to help make the grade?

Tbf he explains we won’t pay compensation for an appointment. The names mentioned would all have been in a role. I hope we’ve ditched the policy of not paying for managers. Recent years have shown its critical to have the right person in the role. Although hopefully we have Ralph for many years yet so don’t need to worry about it.

2-3 loss to spuds. I’ve just looked it up, apparently shearer scored and lineker scored twice! I remember nothing but the scoreline.

Don’t want to go all mlg on you but he left us at the end of his contract. He was still our player those final 6 months, even if we loaned him to the arse and got a fee for that

I thought we might be in for him, until I saw the offer was for £11m or so and therefore probably way out of our budget at the moment!

I cannot profess to understand the point you’re trying to make... but regardless ignoring people on a football forum is hardly comparable to anything the (former) POTUS does, unless of course he places people on ignore when on football forums??

The one thing this site does have is a good ignore user function! Works wonders for me 😂

It was a real shame how Keith’s forum ended. It was a prelude to the kind of trolling that is now rampant all over the internet

Most fans would probably jump ship as well if they were offered incentives to do so. If Liverpool came along and offered me £1m a year to support them I’d consider it! If ings leaves it doesn’t mean he doesn’t love the club any less, just that he wants to try his skills at a higher level and have a better chance of winning trophies. Nothing wrong with any of that, and as long as he doesn’t kick up a stink to get his way then we’ve no cause to complain

I see Targett’s starting to get some rave reviews from Villa fans! Great to see as his opportunities here would have been limited behind Bertrand so it’s a move that seems to have worked well for both parties. Also goes to show how much young footballers need an established run in the side in order to make the grade, which is incredibly difficult to give in the PL.

If he wants a good crack at the champions league he should go abroad. One of the Italian or German clubs would be good for him I would think. He’d be a bench warmer for an English CL team unfortunately.

What lack of loyalty? He’s signed a contract - he’s well within his right not to sign a new one if he doesn’t want too. As long as he doesn’t throw his toys out the pram ala vvd he’s shown all the loyalty we’re due
