They've just signed Buendia and Bailey, both players would immediately improve our starting 11.

Yes, if you actually read the thread properly.

He must've changed his mind quite recently then...

Very good display so far. Adams, Tella, Djenepo, Redmond and Armstrong all looking great. Shane Long still as poor as ever though. How this guy is still playing for us I'll never know.

His agent has already held "discussions" with Villa...

See my post earlier in the thread (think it was last month) It's come from a source who is close to his family. As I previously said, I do not think he would force a move. If he did go though he would increase his wages and improve his chances of an England call up for the World Cup, as well join an ambitious club looking to qualify for Europe this season. A fair few reasons to go, IMO.

He is interested in the move. I know this for sure.

Having seen him play here and there, his style of play is actually quite similar to Ings (obviously not at the same level).

I think it very much depends on what happens with Grealish. I don't think JWP would hand in a transfer request, however it seems like he does see them as a step up. No doubt that's in terms of their ambition as well as the wages they are prepared to offer. It's sad but shows where we are as a club under the current owner.

I have it on pretty good authority that JWP is keen on going to Villa and his agent has been in contact with them regarding a move. I've never been ITK before but this has come from a source that is close to his family. Whether they will stump up the cash for him is another matter I guess.

He's played very well for Denmark so far

I actually thought he had a good game today, barring that 1 on 1 miss.

I was behind Ralph before today but his team selection and subs were unforgivable to be honest. He won't get sacked but if we start poorly next season then who knows.

We need to bin him off immediately. He's abolutely dross.

McCarthy; KWP, Stephens, Vestergaard, Salisu; JWP, Armstrong; Djenepo, Tella; Adams, Ings. Subs: Forster, Bednarek, Ferry, Diallo, Romeu, Minamino, Redmond, Walcott, Obafemi.

Yeah I'd imagine this is the case

Very solid display today. Armstrong, JWP, KWP & Adams stood out and I thought the defence was ok, especially Stephens. Minamino and Redmond don't offer anywhere near enough for me. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Tella next season though. He looks like a real talent.

Forster; KWP, Stephens, Vestergaard, Salisu; JWP, Armstrong; Tella, Redmond; Adams, Ings. Subs: McCarthy, Ramsay, Ferry, Jankewitz, Diallo, Minamino, Djenepo, Walcott, Obafemi.

Would definitely like to see Salisu replace Bednarek for the last few games.

I agree. Obviously we would have to do our best to replace Ings with someone else who is a better finisher than Adams.

Terrible today. Send him back.

Thought Adams was quality tonight. Looks a lot better when Ings is playing.

Forster; KWP, Salisu, Vestergaard, Stephens; JWP, Jankewitz; Armstrong, Tella; Ings, Obafemi. Subs: McCarthy, Bednarek, Ramsay, Ferry, Diallo, Djenepo, Minamino, Redmond, Adams.

I'd agree with this. Ralph clearly has his faults and he seems to have lost the plot a little but if we're being honest the squad is very average.
