How many managers don’t vent on the touchline? If you judge him on that then pretty much every manager in the league is unprofessional. Nuno included…

He is but Silva has adapted better. Be interesting to see which of them is still here in 12 months.

Personally I think there’s a player in there when he adapts but if the club are prepared to cut their losses then as long as we have a replacement ready…

I do rate Chilwell but he picks up a lot of injuries and he is on big wages. Williams has stepped up massively this season too so unless we are sending Moreno back I think we are better looking for other positions.

Pep has always behaved and spoken with dignity regardless of whether Man City have done the same. Proper football man.

It’s more the statement of it. Francis for £1m was a statement signing. To do the same the amount would have to break the transfer record.

We would have to pay £200m plus on a player before we could be said to have eclipsed what we did with Francis.

We have 5 centre backs at the club for 2 positions, 3 at times. You can ‘what if’ your way into never selling players. Abbott at least is a centre back by trade who is training with the first team. Comparing him to Elanga as ‘a body’ is just disingenuous. Everyone knows Elanga is a moonlighting...

True but how long have the coaches had with him? Not saying he can’t come good but you don’t include a sell option if you think a player is worth keeping.

Loan with option suggests we aren’t convinced. Either way if he isn’t going to get anywhere near the first team then move him on.

Absolutely. It’s well known that one of the reasons he hates pressers is the inane questions. As you say, ask him something with a bit of depth and you get him interested which means a better response for everyone involved.

We are at the top end of the league. And in that time how many times has Omobamidele played? Been on the bench..? If he got a game people would be asking why. The same as if we didn’t let him leave. You can argue that Abbott and Toffolo aren’t good enough but is Omobamidele? Is there really...

We have Boly and Abbott with Toffolo also able to play in the centre so we should be ok.

And the wages they have to offer…

Wouldn’t Cunha be fighting for MGW’s position? He can play upfront but is better playing behind the main striker.

Still only 22 though. Can’t see us losing money even if we do sell him on.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Nuno wanted to see what Stamenic can do. He is only 22 so would be a waste to just sell him on…

1-1 please

I can’t see too many sides taking that sort of gamble knowing his reputation. Not unless they are desperate, which Wet Spam are. Villa know they have a top line talent on their hands but he believes he is the clear first choice striker and he has an attitude to match. If he moves and starts...

£65m is the asking price for Duran. Apparently behind the scenes he takes a lot of managing so they are prepared to let him go…
