I was 12 when he joined. That just seems absolutely crazy to me now - I’ve quite literally grown up watching this man lead the line for us. I’m more than gutted. It’s going to be so, so strange not having him about. Thank you, you absolute hero.

One less starting position to worry about next season if he can keep this up for the last few games - didn’t think he had it in him, but fair play.

I’m thinking about it purely because I’m in the process of doing the 92 - refuse to go there in the home end but can never get tickets when we play there normally as they sell out, so see this as a chance to get it done. Sad that that’s my motivation for going really

Personally I’d be buzzing if we got £3/4m for him and his wages off the books. We need a proper reset, get the majority of the squad gone if possible.

On the whole “fans of other clubs will take the piss” etc. Why do we care what fans of OTHER clubs think? We’re protesting about OUR club - for me I couldn’t care less about outside perception as what we do really doesn’t affect them. For what it’s worth, I can see both sides of the debate in terms of exact message. However, I’m happy to back KP out as I’m almost entirely certain that it won’t cause them to leave, but will get under Top’s skin, something the other messaging wouldn’t do in the same way.

Thought the shape after Ricky came on with him inverting alongside Winks like last season looked solid. Whether that was more to do with Chelsea setting up to contain and see the game out I’m not sure, but it was promising for the short period of time we used it.

Horrible. Look at that manager, look at those players. Instead of Wasyl we have Faes, Coady instead of Wes, Winks instead of Kingy, Ayew and Reid instead of Albrighton. It’s depressing. That group of players was something else - even when we were losing constantly, they never stopped working.

Just got to the part where he’s geeing the fans up and head-butted the wall. Get. Him. Back.

Pure profit for PSR will be important in the summer - £20m wouldn’t be bad at all, might give us a fighting chance of keeping BEK if clubs come knocking, assuming we sell Hermansen for a large PSR profit too.

Sold Cannon for less book profit when we’ll need a striker next season

We will not get another offer like this for him, sell.

Not as horrendous as it first seems I think. Coady off the books for someone who (I hope) is on far less and maybe only on an 18-month deal. Squad player who can provide cover and experience in the championship for Nelson, Okoli and maybe Souttar.

Likewise, I agree. I think next season it’s just important to build a team of players we can really get behind. That’ll start with having some academy lads in the team, but will also be dependent on the recruitment of players potentially from a lower level who see us as a genuine step up for them. The likes of Ayew and Reid have been shambolic signings because not only are they quite limited as players, but they are literally only here for the money as we’ve offered them longer deals than they’d have got elsewhere. They don’t care at all. Get some players signed from league 1 or the lower half of the championship (if we don’t get a transfer ban) that want to play for us and do care. Back to this specific loan - good luck to Will and I hope he smashes it. It’s a great test for him and I hope it goes a similar way to KDH’s first loan at Blackpool which was also half a season.

The only glimmer of hope I have for next season in the championship is seeing some boys from the academy properly cement their places in our squad - the likes of Alves and Nelson in particular, but hopefully others such as Monga too.

Excellent loan for him if true and he gets good mins.
