    Newcastle United and England full-back Kieran Trippier, 31, says he could have joined Manchester United last summer, before opting to leave Atletico Madrid for St James' Park in January.

    Chelsea have apparently agreed personal terms with Wesley Fofana... despite him being contracted until 2027 and the club saying he 's not for sale <doh>

    Does that seriously make sense to you?
    You came 8th last season, over taken by a poor Arsenal and spurs team. Both have strengthened you haven't. How are you stronger?

    Because we started last season without Evans, Fofana, Justin and Castagne, and didn't get the younger ones back until the last quarter of the season ... guess when our best run of form happened? ... these are arguably the first choice back 4 ... Harvey Barnes also started last season on the back of 2 knee ops and it took him some time to get back to his best ... we then lost Vardy to a hip op half way through ...

    If we can keep the squad fit, there is no reason that we can't replicate performances of the same level as we had in the last quarter I.e. games where we had the first choice XI not where we made 8 changes (or more) to accommodate the European campaign ... that good run included beating Rennes and PSV and more than holding our own against Roma ... so... reasons to be cheerful <cheers>

    Yes mate ... every other team started the season without the first choice back four too ... it was a FIFA directive to give us a chance <laugh>

    James Justin - left back - ACL
    Wesley Fofana - centre back - broken leg and damaged knee and ankle ligaments
    Jonny Evans - centre back - foot injury that left him unable to kick a football
    Timothy Castagne - right back - fractured skull and eye socket picked up in Euros...

    Now put your first choice back 4 up with the injuries that kept them out ... or swivel...

    Let's chat again once you've come to rest <cheers>

    according to that you had no RB's injured plus surely Soyuncu was first choice ahead of Evans

    <laugh> I know ... Fofana took a right clattering (unnecessary) tackle from behind in the game at Preston last weekend and stayed down a long time in obvious pain ... was thinking FFS!!!! ... but he eventually got back up, if a bit gingerly, and played the rest of the game, seemingly fine ...

    No mate ... Jonny always plays if fit ... Brenda trusts him... Cags form also fell off after the Euros ... and my bad ...Castagne can play both but is really a right back... have edited

    Come back to me when you have to have Harry ****ing Winks and Moussa Sissoko as your starting midfielders for two whole seasons because Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama’s bodies broke, then when they left we signed a fat lazy **** and an Argentinian made of glass.
