  1. Leeds are definitely going down. They have to win, playing Spurs who still have the possibility of a Europa Conference League spot to play for, require Leicester to drop points, and with the worst GD would have to win by a 3 goal margin if Everton draw. Although West Ham will probably put out a weakened side as with nothing to play for I think they are probably focusing solely on the Europa Conference League final, Leicester still have to win but with the best GD just require Everton to drop points, although Everton are playing Bournemouth who also have nothing to play for

    To be honest I think really it’s probably 50/50 between Leicester and Everton

    If Tim was to leave I think he would be a great back up to Angus.  I wonder what he fancies doing next?

    Me too. Another free agent, and although he only has 57 Championship appearances I still think he would be good enough to be a Championship backup. It’s just we don’t have anyone ready to replace Krul (McGovern is out of contract and the likes of Barden/Mair/McCracken/Berry and co are all inexperienced)

    Just the experienced leader at the back that we need IMO - if we keep Omo he would learn a lot

    Totally agree. Plenty of us don’t like signing free agents, but as we failed to go straight back up and receive our final parachute payment this summer I’m afraid we’re probably going to see a summer similar to 2018

    Will probably want quite high wages but even if we signed him on a 3 year deal at £50k p/w he would only cost a total of £7.8m, as there’s no transfer fee involved

    47 starts over the past 4 seasons, aged 27-31, a prime age for a defender, one would think.

    He is either injury-prone….not very good…….or ‘raring to play football’…….

    He is very experienced - 119 PL appearances. Although Transfermarkt showed him as having quite a long injury history, he has been playing football for over a decade and never been out for more than 6 weeks. How long is Hanley out for? - Over 6 months

    They haven't said that they want to stop the current use of oil, they want to stop new fossil fuel licensing and production.

    Well then why are they obstructing road users? Is it really the road users that are giving new fossil fuel licenses? Surely it’s the government they should be targeting, not drivers


  6. I fully understand their reasons as I’m very keen on green energy myself and would love to see an end to the use of fossil fuels on our roads, but you just have to accept that we can’t stop the use of oil yet simply because we’re still not ready to (unless they really can afford to buy every petrol/diesel car owner in the UK an electric car and fund the production of all new wind/solar farms we need)


  7. We must avoid making too many new signings, as it will take time for the new team to gel, but here are my views on the squad:

    Gunn - Keep. I think the reason he was signed was also so we would already have someone ready for Krul’s departure, and he is now the 

    Krul - Sell. One year left and no longer first choice. If he does go though we will need to sign an experienced replacement because we don’t have anyone ready to be a Championship backup - Jed Steer’s out of contract at Villa this summer

    Aarons - Sell. One year left and I can’t see him signing a new contract, so best he goes whilst we can still get some money for him

    Mumba - Keep. The reason he was sent out on loan was to get some experience because we knew Aarons would have to go this summer

    McCallum - Still doesn’t seem quite ready for the Championship yet but he’s still young and could come good. However, he only has one year left so we need to offer him a new contract and if he doesn’t sign one then I think we will have to sell him 

    Giannoulis - Sell. Only one year left and very injury prone

    Hanley - Keep. Need him for experience, and with him out for the rest of the year no one would be interested in signing him anyway 

    Gibson - Only one year left but with Hanley out until Xmas I think we need to keep him for experience

    Omobamidele - If someone really does offer £15m+ for him then I would sell him, but otherwise I would keep him 

    Tomkinson - Loan. Needs game time and he’s not going to get much here and unfortunately didn’t get much at Stevenage either. Although with Hanley out until Xmas and Gibson out of contract next summer we will have to sign someone on loan with an option to buy. Send Hills and Warner out on loan too

    Sorenson - Keep. One year left with option of extension. Can also cover at FB as well

    Gibbs - Keep. Considering he was still yet to make a first team appearance last summer I think he’s done amazing, and is looking very promising

    McLean - Keep. Runner up POTS, and we need his experience

    Sara - Keep. Sara is vital for next season so anyone who thinks he should go now is crazy and I think he arrived with a sell on clause, although if someone did happen to come in with an offer of £40m+ I guess we may have no option but to accept it

    Nunez - Keep. Didn’t show much this season but he’s still young and has plenty of time to improve

    Placheta - Sell. One year left and always injured, so get rid

    Rowe - Loan. Only turned 20 last month, and although he has impressed in the few first team appearances he has made he needs regular game time

    Springett - Loan. Just like Rowe and Mumba he has impressed in the few first team appearances he has made, but needs regular game time

    Hernandez - Keep. Need his experience and just like McLean I think the reason he was offered a new contract was so we would have some experience in the squad for next season

    Tzolis - Keep. Only 21 and three years left, so can still come good

    Rashica - Sell. Doesn’t want to be here so get rid of him this summer

    Kamara - Loan. Another young player just coming through the youth academy, so just like Tomkinson, Rowe and Springett needs regular game time which he’s not going to get here

    Sargent - Keep. Strikers are the most expensive and we’re not going to have much money to spend which was the whole reason why we signed Barnes

    Idah - Lacks experience so really needs a loan. To send him out on loan though we would need to sign someone in on loan otherwise we would have to keep


  8. Leeds look like they will definitely go down. They have the worst GD and face Spurs who still have the possibility of a Europa Conference League spot to play for. I think Leicester will join them as although West Ham will probably put out a weakened side because they have nothing to play for and so are probably concentrating solely on Europe, Leicester have to win and rely on Everton to drop points against Bournemouth, who also have nothing to play for

    Grant Holt wasn't that cheap. £400k doesn't look much now, but then - and with our finances so bad at the time - it was a  big investment.....and what a good one it was!

    I think Holt actually cost us £750k, but like you've said although that looks an absolute bargain as now a striker of his quality would probably cost about £20m, considering we were a 3rd tier club on the brink of administration back then it was almost all our funds


  10. Don't have a clue. Who else are we signing this summer? Who's going? Who else has got relegated from the PL and who won the League One playoffs? In my opinion this poll is 2 months early, and I wouldn't make any predictions on how we'll do next season until late July, when we have a better idea of who will be in our squad and how they do in pre season
