It could backfire BUT if the club know they will only get 20 million for him this summer (no bidding war, just one club interested) do they take the gamble that his goals will earn them that with a much higher league placing next season? Its a gamble but when you keep hearing the line about him being here until his contract ends you would like to think it’s something they have given thought to.

Sky’s coverage of his sacking last night was ridiculous. Of all the experts/talking heads they’ve got who do they turn to ? Yep cousin Jamie and Uncle ‘arry for a nice balanced view of the decision. The highlight of which was `arry saying “I listened to Paul Merson earlier who as usual was talking sense” 🙄

Good old Charlie, whether true or not I bet VVD is delighted that’s come out. Mind you if it pisses off United fans then that’s a bonus. 😂

Oh joy 😱

Chelsea only pull the trigger when they have a replacement lined up. It will be Tuchel. Be interesting to see what happens with Lampard, that’s two English “bright young managers” out of work now with him and Mr Howe formerly of Boscombe.

You have forgotten Shane Long 😬🤣

Oh come on, they’ve only been against Arsenal, Liverp...... yeah fair enough 🤣

Should have beaten them in the league match. Not frightened of playing them that’s for sure.

It’s going to be tough on someone as Oriol, despite your summing up of his, in your view, lack of talent, has been immense this season. Best that’s not forgotten.

Totally agree, its just crap. Its not like "do you want a release clause Danny?" "oh no thats alright thanks" "well im having one put in anyway" "oh, ok then"

If he goes the only club I couldn’t stand him going to would be Spurs.

If we can have Son then fair enough 🤣

I think there’s a chance he may stay but only because I can’t think realistically where he would go given age, injury record and big clubs not really needing a striker....unless Kane does leave Spurs.

I hope he gives the full backs a break and goes with Valery and Vokins, esp given Jake will presumably play against Arsenal in the league. Theo might benefit from a rest as well but fuck knows who plays if him and Armstrong don’t.

We aren’t going to see him this season are we?

So safe to say the "slight calf strain" Romeu was reported to have picked up is in fact, wrong ?

Oh that's terrible, poor kid

Maybe it will but at least it will be well made.

If he doesn’t like the weather here it’s a bloody good job he didn’t end up in Manchester, Liverpool or worst of all Newcastle.

End of the over-priced UA merchandise. Thank goodness

I've been loathe to criticise Long as many others have done so frequently but last night was a bridge too far for me. Shane, at your age and with your experience why the hell are you caught offside so much ? I'm not talking the VAR fingernail offside, its blatant by a mile offsides. Why ? He used to come on and make a nuisance of himself, pulling defenders out of position etc. I'm not sure he even contributes that anymore. I know he signed a two year deal but I hope he isn't here next season.

Most squads in the league would be with 5 regulars out and I’m not even including Tella and Obafemi.

In my best Dave Merrington voice - what we don’t need is KWP getting booked and being without both first choice full backs for the same game.

Well Tchaptchet is a young centre back

I’m really hoping these injuries clear up before the next league match in 10 days time. That bench 😳
