What difference does it make if you know or not?

I think the bigger question is why, as is rumoured, the club only knew his contract was ready to expire in the summer because Michael Beale told them.  Gross negligence if true.

We badly need a no nonsense centre half and two no nonsense full backs rather than the fanny merchants we have now .

Defenders that can't defend ffs .

There's no way that's true

You're so right. That's nine-tenths of the reason why we've won so little since returning to the premier league.

This is a weird one. Sites like Transfermarkt all had his contract expiring in 2024. I wonder if there was some lesser known clause or something that Beale knew of.

Agree but i think Beale was referring to the press not knowing or mentioning.

They say there’s no bargains at the Christmas window so let’s bleed the youngsters let’s see what they can do might get a surprise.

King, Lowry and Devine are all getting their chance.

If we could only make ONE transfer, which position would you want it to be?

I've always thought that we need an #8; someone to provide creativity and a goal-threat from deep. 

 

Recently, though, I've been thinking that a 'keeper (a sweeper 'keeper) would really solve a lot of defensive problems, while also helping us play out from the back.
