Too early to say re Mateta 2. basically agree 3. agree 4. For me the priority buy is a box-to-box midfielder to replace Conor when he goes back to Chelsea. 5. I'll leave that one to PV and the other experts at the club 6. Why do you have to spoil it all by jumping on your hobby-horse at every opportunity?

I just cannot see any reason to let non regular first team players allowed to get to the their last season, it makes no financial sense, if we gave the two away on frees we would save about 10m pounds in wages “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Originally posted by Phil’s Barber I’m not saying Right Back is the ‘priority buy’ but it is certainly the priority position. Ward (for all his amazing service, loyalty, commitment, passion and leadership) is now an absolute liability game after game, gets skinned time and time again, offers us no outlet, has no pace, his distribution is shocking and unless it’s a sideways ball to Andersen he gives possession away. I do acknowledge his unbelievable run last night to set up our goal but that is a once in a 5 Season occurrence It doesn’t however make up for the countless times he was exposed last night or gave the ball to them on a plate or his lack of defending for the Neal Maupay cross that ultimately led to their equaliser. Perfect assessment for me PB. He’s a great guy, top pro, and deffo an asset to the club around the place, but he is getting found out week after week at this level and his lack of pace and poor positional discipline makes us really vulnerable down our right. We need to identify better options at RB and I’m hoping Ferguson is the answer - we need to be careful with him but he’s got to be a better option than Wardy.

Luka and Benteke should be sold ASAP, even for a minimal price i did think a good 15 minutes at Millwall disguised a poor performance. As you say Schlupp is definitely not a CM in a 433 and Eze proved that he is not yet ready to start after such a big injury. Was very surprised both started v the scum. Also thought Hughes was struggling to link with the defence when they tried to pass out and this was compounded against the scum, who are clearly a better side. We couldn't hold the ball up with our top 3 against Millwall so was surprised with the 3 he picked on Friday. Ward was poor on Friday with the exception of the goal but he does look better than Clyne and Fergie is getting his fitness and sharpness back - probably next season he will be competing. I would be tempted to play Luka and Hughes with Conor v Liverpool. Mateta and Tekkers are very similar - both can look good and the next game are shocking.
