Totally agree, he is a brilliant player for a club at our level but clearly isn’t on the big boys radar or he would have been long gone. These media stories are just noise to fill pages and get clicks in reality JWP will go for mid to high 30’s to a decent but not stellar club like West Ham/Spurs. The absolute best he could hope for is a bit part player at Liverpool purely because they are in such dire need of midfielders this summer.

Totally agree I’m really not sure how people are managing to form an opinion on him given he basically didn’t play for the club!

Who’s going to buy him for anything like what we paid or are you suggesting we should give him away? Tall Paul has a chance of being a successful striker at championship level there are plenty of examples of outstanding championship strikers who have failed to make the step up (Armstrong, Adams, Billy Sharp, Jordan Rhodes etc). Buying someone proven at that level will cost a fortune top level championship strikers don’t come cheap just look at what we paid for Adams and Armstrong!

Swap deals haven’t really been a thing for years, there is always talk of it in the press but it just doesn’t happen even obvious ones you’d think were swaps were conducted as separate transfers like when we sold Bridge and got Le Saux and similarly when Kevin Davies went to Blackburn and we got Beattie.

You do realise the vaccine was fully out of your system in about 30 days and all it did was trigger a natural response from your immune system? There is zero chance of mass king term side effects from this. We have been mass vaccinating for 100 years in a similar way people need to pull their heads out of the conspiracy hole and actually think before posting stuff! The very idea that a UK government that couldn’t even keep a piss up in the PM’s home a secret could some how completely contain the fact that COVID vaccines are killing thousands of people 2 years on is utterly laughable on a par with those who say the moon landings were faked and the evidence successfully suppressed for a generation despite the 1000’s of people who would have been in on it!

It is certainly over if he is playing championship football. If he goes to a premiership side and plays at the top of his game he at least has a chance. I’m pretty certain he will go even if I hope he doesn’t!

I’d be looking for a couple of years in the MLS if I was Theo, easy money to live somewhere nice and wind down his career. Then retire into punditry, he’s always been well spoken and come across well in interviews etc and he still has the hint of star dust.

he was good enough as loan cover and better than both keepers who have features for us this season!

Nobody is about to give us half our money back on Tall Paul, he has done the square root of naff all since we signed him, our best hope is he turns out to be a mitrovic after a couple of seasons in the championship other wise we can kiss good bye to that transfer fee in it's entirety! Same goes for Orsic anyone thinking we are getting more than a nominal fee for him at the minute is dreaming the lad hasn't looked like a football player since we signed him.

I’d be telling them both they are staying put, assuming nothing was promised when we signed them.

He’s nowhere near Connolly good!

To be honest I’d be amazed if our under 13’s GK is any worse than GB or AM! Arguing over which is worse is like debating if it’s better to be punched or kicked in the balls, neither is a decent option! We’ve twice been burned signing young keepers from city let’s hope we’ve either learnt our lesson or the old third time lucky thing kicks in!

Currently I would say yes, Lavia has shown incredible potential this season and could go in to be a better player, could also fizzle out into nothing. JWP has been consistently good for years!

I don't think anyone here thinks he should be in England's starting 11 do they? I certainly don't! He should as he is be in and around the squad and I think he has been unlucky not to get more caps, if he put up similar numbers at a bigger club he would no doubt be selected more often.

Those in this thread saying they hope he leaves and trying to paint JWP as a poor player need to go stand in the corner for a bit and think about how dense they are being. I'm fully aware he is not KDB but he is a class above every other midfielder at the club and would be one of the very very top players in the Championship, if he is dumb/loyal enough to stay another season it will be the best piece of business we do this summer. Seriously look at his numbers he has been outstanding for us consistently for years, actually appears to give a damn about the club and would walk into the teams at at least 14/15 other clubs in the premier league let alone the championship. All he lacks is that extra 10% that would make him world class, if he has been blessed with a little pace and a trick or two we would have lost him within a season to one of the big four.

Everyone should be judged by their actions and words sadly it’s not hard to find huge swathes of the current government fail that judgement!

The man said there were actors pretending to be dying in the Italian hospitals we all saw on TV!?!?!?! He’s lost his mind and is lost to the conspiracy wormhole. Amazing footballer who I will forever remember lighting up my youth with his sensational goals but sadly not a man I could any longer admire off the pitch.

It’s bonkers surely they and the clubs know the risks it’s not like he is the first player to ruin a knee doing it. What’s wrong with the wheel away with your arm in the air celebration!

Can’t believe Bazunu doesn’t feature in more of these lists, the guy is absolutely stealing a living as a goal keeper let alone a first choice one at a top flight club! Lyanco is a shoe is as he is just utterly garbage and I don’t think has put in more than one decent game in his entire time here. The third spot is tricky as so so many could fill it but I’m going AA just because we bought him as a striker and he scores even less than che! Maybe he will find his level with us next season and boss the championship but I’m not convinced!

The entire point in sending him on loan to play at a lower level, lots of people seem to be missing that as well! Had we not totally arsed up this season he would have returned in the summer a much better more confident player perhaps ready to be a premier league player. Sadly we totaly arsed up the season and will be relegated so he is unlikely to want to return, this doesn’t mean he is good enough for us this season or that next season he will be a premier league star for Burnley the gap between the league is large and we have a couple of great examples in the squad of how difficult it is to turn championship form into premier league form! Well done to the lad for taking his chance now let’s move on Tella wouldn’t have kept us up no matter how much people like to pretend!

Dear god we are so awful that people are now listing Walcott as a starter when two weeks ago everyone was saying he should retire! The only thing that will really make a difference is if someone finally manages to light a fire under the players which I’m not sure the nice guy in charge is capable of! Every player involved in last night embarrassment should be doing shuttle runs until they like this morning they were out played and out fought by some league two cloggers ffs! The real shame is we were already down after the Leeds game so last night was the biggest game left this season for us and the team just couldn’t be bothered….

He maybe a 41 year old make weight but the current person who plays in goal is not even good enough to be called a goalkeeper, he looks further out of his depth than a toddler in a diving pool. The only possible reason for his continued selection is that it’s in his contract I’d rather see a youth team player between the sticks than GB who looks like an appalling piece of transfer business, he is Angus Gunn bad if not worse!

Because it’s the same end result of a move to Chelsea and he probably gets a double dip in bonuses and I bet his agent would make a packet! Money makes the world go round! I’ve never really worked out how these buy back clauses work if the player says no, it’s something that hasn’t really been tested I guess!

And it wilL need to be enough to stop them just buying him back for 40m and then selling him to Chelsea, for me he looks like a 50-60 million player.

Would be a dam sight better than Jones, he’d at least not make an utter prat out of himself on national media while telling everyone who will listen how amazing he is! On a serious note I doubt he has the coaching badges required or the desire!
