Daily Telegraph reports that Bournemouth favoured Newcastle over Villa because they were prepared to pay full fee up front whereas Villa wanted to pay in instalments

Is it possible that the lad was reluctant to sign permanently and this deal is the only way he would come?

I'm not here to promote Max. I accept that he is never going to be a prolific goalscorer and at 29, he's not the future. He started football late in life, relatively speaking, and lost a season through injury. It just happens that , of the few goals he has scored, some were memorable and some...

You cant sorry, shouldn't, judge players too severely early season. Remember how many were writing off Walsh after two or three games. It's ok to have doubts but no need to panic

There were lots of pages earlier in the season about misuse of ballboys so we all know the rules

I wasn't impressed with him when we beat Stoke in the FA Cup, but I haven't seen him lately. Would prefer an improving GK rather than one who has seen better days ( Not our very own Better Days)
