Nyland is head and shoulders better than Joe Hart.

Suggesting anything else is a sham, poo.

Chester and/or Kodjia in a swap for Bowen? Throw Lansbury in too, just to carry the bags!

How quickly people forget Chester's quality and everything he did for us. I've no desire to see him leave, not sure why so many do.

He has earnt the right to sit on our bench and make his money. He has potentially given up his career for us as I dont think he will ever be the same again. I dont think people want him gone at all, more just assume he is eager to play first team football so will move. I've not read a single bad comment about him for over a year. Maybe I've just not noticed them I guess.

Oh for a quality midfielder that can supplant Nakamba and Hourihane from the team to the bench and Lansbury and Jota to anywhere away from the first team squad.

Aston Villa are being offered the chance to sign Emmanuel Adebayor as they look for a solution to their striker crisis.

Move forward. Different division. Age of the player, likelihood of getting game time, contract coming to an end, injuries etc. There is no loyalty in football.

This with bells on. Two very poor players, and two atrocious ones.

Hourihane is a very poor player? Wasn’t it you who said we should hound him out of the club to make sure he leaves, this time last year? Just before he helped fire us to promotion..

Alan Nixon is saying that Batshuayi is going to Palace when Chelsea secure a replacement. However it seems that Palace are signing Tosun on loan...

Assume that means Benteke is going, but even still Ayew has been in good form so Tosun, Batshuayi and Ayew seems a lot for Palace...

Maybe they are collecting strikers, like we do goalkeepers.

Interesting/worryingly Dean seems not to have ruled out Joe Hart

Whilst Jota is lightweight and not speedy. He does appear to enjoy setting up goals. Which I believe is an attractive attribute for a midfielder.
