Just had a little read around, apparently James Pearce has said that although there appears to be confusion about his contract, as he understands it it runs till 2020.

I just read this too. He’s with us until 2020 - so no worries there then! Totally missed those reports.....I’ve thought all year that he’s off in the summer <doh>

He could still go in the summer for a nominal fee, if Leeds come up and depending on who we sign. With a fit Ox will he get near the first team. He is a lot slower than last season.
 
I hope that whoever we sign, they are also a dead ball specialist. We rarely score direct from free kicks. I thought at one stage that TAA was going to be part of the solution but he hasn’t improved in this aspect of his game.

Tbf from the few I've seen, they're usually too far out. We need to be smarter in drawing fouls in TAA's range :)
 
Yep, he’s gone and won’t get anything like that money from anywhere. It also frees up decent money for a top signing! If Milner goes too (not that I think he should) - we’ll have £220k/month.

Add Moreno and then possibly Lovren, lallana and Clyne and that would be nearly £500k/week saving. That’s massive - we could get 4 players of bobby’s quality....2.5 Salah’s, over 3 vvd’s....


Or one Sanchez <laugh>

Can't see Lovren or Lallana going; they're both Klopp guys. Plus, if all five of those went, we'd be looking at five, six or seven coming in which I think is high unlikely.

Edit; just seen this as already been discussed
 
I'd not sell Milner, he's the complete utility player - great attitude and much needed experience in the dressing room. Don't care how much we'd save.

May not have a choice, he's out of contract

Edit: yep, seen the 2020 comments since posting this
 
Is that a joke or something you've read- not sure <laugh>

it's a well known fact mate.

Leeds are his home town club and he wants to finish there.

The fact is James Pearce said it was 2020 way back in September and his own paper said it was 2019 in November... after Pearce commented.

After that other sources pick up on these and comment.



he is out of contract so if thry go up.

Was just having a dig at Sanchez tbh....needed some earners to actually get to his wages <laugh> - he earns more per week than our entire front line <yikes> I doubt we’d lose that many of the squad in one go too

Utd were so desperate to deny city a player.... its hilarious they ended up 6th from 2nd as a result.

This is why nobody has any real faith in things turning round there. The same idiots af the top are still there
 
Fabinho is a pen taker
Salah fancies himself too.

There's no shortage of people who will queue up yo do it.

As I recall taa can take them.

Have any of them got history scoring from kicks regularly? Salah hasn’t with us has he? Really thought TAA would have had a few more by now. It’s probably the one part of our game that we need to improve on.

TBF, Sanchez looked a great player at Arsenal. Alexis got what he wanted out of the deal

Fabinho got something like 14 / 14 at his previous club.

Salah as a great record for Egypt. I reckon

Trent could take a penalty too but nothing to suggest this to be the case.
