Alternatively, a lesson for King is not to waste any more money

A once in a generation opportunity to spend money wasted

Before the game, losing 2-1 would have seemed realistic, if disappointing. Given what actually happened, it’s the manner of the defeat which hurts. The change of tactics and yet another first XI deviation is never to help the team. I can see Lampard was trying to adjust to cope with Norwich...

Agree, which is why Leeds might want him

I see someone has unconvincingly linked Cov with a loan move for Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea. Very speculative

Absolutely agree. Massive loss, even if neither of them have played to the fullest of their ability this season. Having said that, maybe that’s why they aren’t performing because they want out.

Going to have to differ. COH, in particular, had no intention of staying

Gyokeres, Hamer and COH wanted to leave. Not much King could do. If MVE and Sheaf want out, the club will have to sell.

To be fair to the club, they tried to sign midfielders. Bids were lodged for at least 3 players, probably a 4th. The attempts were rebuffed.

Intriguing, I am fairly sure the club said Torp wasn’t signed as a replacement for Hamer. Hm!

I think the answer is that we won’t get a permanent replacement. The club will more likely get a couple of loans to steady the ship and wait to spend in the summer.

If we leave it with 6 months to go, the sensible option for Sheaf is to run his contract down and leave for free

The issue here, as ever, is what Sheaf wants. Sheaf hasn’t looked too bothered at times this season and that might well be linked to the club turning down offers in the summer. If Sheaf wants out, then King will have to maximise income. £8 million sounds a lot, given his value will start to...

I suspect we haven’t finished paying for him yet

Thanks! I see some fans on Twitter think we would get £8-10 million for him. £5 million sounds pricey

MVE to a Turkish club in January apparently

Gives him more time. And less opportunity for him to be kicked as he takes possession

Anyone remember Chris Coleman’s City losing 2-1 against a team playing with 9 men? With City continuing to play nice and safe at the back.

20 seconds? How many bran flakes are you eating

The team are playing really well, Lampard in!
