Each to their own, I see him as a pound shop Adama Traore at the moment.

What a result that would be with Downes, I was fearing at least rest of this month.

I hope so, that would be a mahoosive blow to WBA. Ideally before Friday.

Anyone else think this was referenced to our third?! I’m a plank.

Baz, KWP, Bednarek, THB, Manning, Charles, Smallbone, Rothwell, Brooks, Mara, AA. Lumley, Stephens, Meghoma, Bragg, Armstrong, Adams, Fraser, Edozie, Sulemana Time for the 8 figure transfer fee man to step up.

Leverkusen 3-0 Bayern Tella with an assist and looked an all round nuisance, good lad. Still makes me laugh Burnley offered £9m.

It would be a great shame to not go up this year, especially as if we carry on as we are the points would be good enough to go up most years. Appreciate everyone is different, but for me I didn’t expect us to be doing as well as we are (playoffs at best was what I thought) - and certainly didn’t think the atmosphere would have turned as positively as it has done. RM has to take credit for that. Let’s hope we can finish the job.

I think Niemi made him look better. Paul Jones, Blayney, Paul Smith very much in his mould.

Think that’s a bit harsh on his pace. Seemed to look just fine for the second goal last night. Plus I’d rather he was pacy with the ball at his feet

This thread has been great.

Hope nothing too serious, get well soon!

When does my COT membership come through?

The most rated underrated player of recent times. Good luck to him, brilliant servant and helped make us tick during our most successful period.

Thanks for sharing @S-Clarke Shows what a disjointed mess things were last season. I don’t get why SR persisted with keeping Ralph at the start when they clearly wanted to go in a different direction. If the higher powers don’t agree on anything then plain to see why we got relegated.

Agreed, think they will win still but they're not playing as well as we are.

The only times he’s looked capable in his career has been when he’s played regularly and had a consistent partner. Bringing him on mid game just doesn’t suit him at all, plus coming on mid game for a CB in general can’t be too easy. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but making him captain has turned out to be a poor choice.

I was thinking more from a financial perspective (appreciate my post did not say this!)

Maybe this is why the Benson deal has hit the buffers too? We want rid of Holgate first to free up a loan spot?

Christ, what a change it is to have someone who really wants to be here and play. Impossible not to like him. From the way he talks, I wouldn’t be surprised if him signing permanently is a done deal.

It doesn’t confirm which side he’s creating the chances for.

Rejected £9m, accepted £20m. And the poor bastard is now slumming it at the top of the bundesliga.

The Dale Stephens of our promotion charge.

Yeah, I reckon he’d have negotiated a world record fee for a defender.

Maybe Charlie is off, someone willing to offer sizeable cash and he doesn’t really play much anymore?
