After selling McAteer were not so desperate for this one to go through. Wouldn't at all be surprised if he doesn't get his move

He's saying the right things: "It was a fantastic goal that summarises really clearly what Abdul means for us, extreme quality especially in the last third. "We played against a team that was very aggressive in the high press, very physical, it can create some frustration because everything is happening around our box. "For me today the most important thing is that we took a step forward in the identity and culture that I want to build at the club. "I saw a team that, despite there is 100 things we can do better, and that's on me, I saw a team that cared, that wanted to work hard for each other, we had to defend low and make a run with each other for it. "And for me that's the most important, that connection with the fans, the fans played their part, they were really strong throughout the game and that sets the foundation. "It was far from perfect. But what we can learn from this one is stronger than just having a fantastic game and winning 4-0."

FM is the best estimate of wages. They have more staff and analysts to give a best guess than any website can.

The amount of players we've moved on and we still have 2 players per position (whether they're any good or not is a different matter) and then some

If this means bilal has more chance of staying then I'm all for it

So 2 weeks after he signed for us then

We would still have Okoli, Nelson, Vestergaard, Faes, Souttar and Aluko which is frankly still too many.

He's had 1 season at PL level and struggled in the second half of it. His form since Christmas will have reduced his value, regardless whether he was carrying an injury or not.

That's what we did for Maguire.

Fits with my theory that we were basically stringing Dyche and Wilder along as backup options. I imagine the club are quite keen on keeping King around as well, who would have likely been sidelined

Spend whatever we've got on a striker. Snap up any offers for Vestergaard, Faes, Coady, Kristiansen, Soumare, Ndidi, Reid, Ayew, Daka Pad out the squad with youth players

Mavididi started as a striker at youth level. I agree with others there's definitely potential in McAteer through the middle, he has a bit of a poacher about him.

2 weeks being ran pretty much solely by the sports science staff with no manager meddling with sessions. I bet we are going to be very fit next season

Stowell insinuated on RL it would be 4x30 but then backtracked because he realized he's talking out his arse

I don't doubt it, it would be criminally stupid by the club to not have contingency plans. It's clear the club want Rohl otherwise we'd have appointed one of Dyche/O'Neil/Wilder by now.

Leaked by the club to the press to hurry along the Rohl situation. There's been zero leaks for months, then just when the Rohl deal is stalling, all of a sudden interviews with Wilder and O'Neil hits the press?

Rohl is still number 1 but Dyche and Wilder are being interviewed/strung along as a backup option if Rohl doesn't happen. Top is wary of stepping on Chanshiri's toes in regards to getting Rohl out of Sheff Weds.

5 weeks until the Fiorentina friendly, plenty of time to relay the pitch

Carsely is lined up for the England job in 2026

Everytime I've watched them Elliott Anderson has looked a level above the rest

Backup goalkeeper on a free then spend whatever we have on a striker. Centre back and centre mid on loan. Try and keep BEK and try and get a good price for Hermansen Also we have Hamza for midfield/right back cover.

Good luck to him

Nothing happening til 1st July. We all know it lets just close the forum down until then and all take a little break

Russell and Dyche actually got a team promoted though

How are people more in favour of Carrick than Russell or Dyche
