    Transfer Rumours

    People do, however if they're deliberately misleading and show blatant bias, people will always criticise that argument. You could also argue that, or you could argue that he's far too good for L1 level (as he's proven on two occasions, statistically), and as the team performed dreadfully after...

    Transfer Rumours

    McNulty has never scored prolifically at L1 level though, he's done it in league 2. Additionally he's 4 and half years older. If you said a 1 in 2 championship striker was worth £15 million in the current market? At 21 years old, Armstrong is definitely worth £3 million, purely on risk alone...

    Transfer Rumours

    I'd also read that wrong, but that's a fairly misleading way of presenting goal scoring stats. You've just picked a period of time, and way of presenting the stats which suits your argument. Why not just look at his record for what it is; He was 18/19 and bagged 20 goals in League 1 with us -...

    Transfer Rumours

    Is that true, I think he's scored more than that, in league one at least? He had a difficult spell at Bolton, however he was played on the left wing, which is fairly well known. I wouldn't say that only a league one club would be interested. £3 million doesn't even buy you an average...

    Team v Scunthorpe

    If our main strength is in the wing back area, it seems like we could have 2 of the best in the division then we’ve got to play to that. I don’t see why 3 at the back is going to require real technicians at the back, I personally think it could work and if it gets Brown and Sterling flying...

    Transfer Rumours

    He’s definitely worth £3 million, he’s 21 years old and would almost certainly get you between 20-25 goals in league one. We’ve just sold McNulty who’s never scored regularly above the 4th tier and is 4 years older for £1.5 million.

    Ponti

    I tend to agree. If we sign another striker who's not particularly outstanding then are we just blocking Ponti's progression? If he played regularly I think he's absolutely got 15-20 goals in him. However it's a big risk, as it is when you give any young player a chance, so you just have to...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Trouble is if you buy a striker who’s a proven goalscorwr at League 1 level, how much does that cost? Arguably we’re not a viable option for that player, as they’re looking for a step up. Chaplin seems like a fairly calculated risk, only 21 and seemingly got lots of potential but is...

    In The Times today

    The thing is I’ve seen City 100s of times, and I’m used to the highs and lows, and if you have a low then you get another go midweek or the next weekend. As CJ said, the World Cup is once every four years and is the pinnacle of the the sport, so for me England’s success just feels a little more...

    What an apt reference given your name

    Ched Evans

    Yeah I understand the point you're making, and like Thorpe, Evans' career and life will always be tainted and shrouded in doubt because of this. This is the justice system though, and he was acquitted of earlier convictions, and found not guilty.

    Ched Evans

    He was retried, with new evidence and found not guilty. My personal stance is the same as yours, and I don't like it, however it is a fact.

    Ched Evans

    Agreed, which is why it's important to note the difference, as there was a large public response which blamed the potential victim for 'lying', which may not have been the case. He was not proven to be guilty, and therefore you must assume innocence, and he absolutely deserves his life and...

    Ched Evans

    The guy is replying to a post which says he was declared innocent, which is not true. There was a similar reaction when he was found ‘not guilty’; the dark fruits brigade slammed the woman for ‘lying’. Therefore in this instance I think it’s important to note the difference. Whilst he was found...

    Armstrong, Murphy, Maddison, Kent

    I think they’ll all play in the PL at some point. Murphy struggled last season but he’ll get going, whether at Newcastle or another club. Armstrong has the quality to and just needs to be at the right club, in the right moment playing in a style which works for him. Maddison obvious quality...

    Maddison

    I'd be surprised if that were the case, as we'd have been backing him to get the cap whilst playing for Norwich, which would be really stupid

    Would be delighted with this, he's really highly rated

    Summer Recruitment

    Dean Henderson will be nowhere near League 1 next season. Wouldn't be shocked to see another PL club come in for him, assuming DDG will be Utd's keeper for another 6-8 years.
