    I think his wife having two babies in three weeks equates to final negotiations for a move

    He should think of a more amusing and obscure reason for his omission.

    Or, we could just take him as his word?

    She was close to giving birth 3 weeks ago, but didn't. Now she is.

    It’s code. Giving birth means signing contract, 2 babies means 2 club’s fighting.

    Test for what, our negotiating skills getting rid of all three before the window shuts?

    Id like to see the back of all three out the door.

    Why would they post these players? They must know these players are not popular with the fans.

    That may be your opinion but what evidence do you have to support this. You may not like them but others do.

    What evidence do you have that people like them?

    I like Lyanco for his passion and utter madness and watchaability (in a good and bad way)
    I like Djeneppo for his general likeability and desire to do well, against all odds
    I don't think my views are uncommon
    No need to be unkind to players who tried their best

    Aribo? No ldea, he started well, but hasn't continued that way, no idea why
    Is he lazy? Dunno, players of his ilk always look so when things don't go well for them
    I think he's just not that good

    They are all three likely to be leaving and I think that's sensible for us and them

    I'd go along with that. Lyanco is a nutter but he's our nutter and we love him for it.

    Maybe to wind up our more silly fanbase. I applaud them for having a bit of a giggle if so.

    Can’t watch the game, but assume they’ll be some nod to the team that we will play on Friday.
    I don’t think there is any serious point in playing Lavia for example or at least starting him.

    would prefer we play Stephens and Lyanco in centre defence and let Charles get minutes in midfield.

    I’m sorry I don’t have any independent studies showing approval ratings. Future research should be focused on this area.

    I don’t have a strong opinion about them, they wouldn’t make my starting 11 or bench these days. It’s just an observation on here that most don’t seem to rate these players (see above reply about getting rid of all 3).

    The only thing about Lyanco, Aribo and Moussa is that they shouldn’t be making any Premiership starting 11.
    We are now a Championship club and I am a lot more open to it. Those three won’t be awful in this league. They actually may be quite good.
