You’re just annoyed you weren’t first to report this breaking news :emoticon-0105-wink:
There's sites/papers I tend to not bother mentioning, and teamTALK is so close to the bottom that its name may as well be in Turkish

Does beg the question why so many obvious muckrakers like teamTALK, Fichajes etc are getting oxygen these days, not just for any transfer rumours about us but pretty much every club in January had them making money off their names

You mention plenty of sites just as bad as teamtalk. Also pretty sure you’d mentioned fichajes lots too.

Just accept this definitely true rumour with grace my friend

Makes sense for all concerned regardless of relegation or not.

I’ve been on his case since early doors and will be glad to see him moved on as never felt he was good enough.

Agreed.

I'm not sure who we'd be able to bring in of significantly better quality though.

I've come to the conclusion that it's probably the only position where it's better to have someone who is 'good' in all areas albeit 'excellent' in none, rather than someone like Vicario who is 'excellent' in a few areas and 'poor' in the rest.

In a way, solid and steady is ideal, simply because every mistake in that position leads to a goal.

Could have done with a Cudicini or Friedel type of character this season and would certainly stabilise things in the run-in.

Yeah or even a Vorm type

Kinsky will be under massive scrutiny if he has to play.

If Tudor chooses Austin over Kinsky then Tudor will be accused of destroying Kinsky’s career again.
If it comes to it I’d be picking Austin if I were Tudor.

Kinsky has just been a disaster outside of his debut. Maybe there’s a decent keeper in there somewhere and we should’ve absolutely loaned him out if not in the summer then definitely the winter but in the few games Austin’s played he barely put a foot wrong, Kinsky’s played about 15 and made about 8 mistakes.

Of course you don't count the number of times the excellence stops a goal....
