I think him leaving was always on the cards. We are in a situation where we don't really want to play him as he is a backup for us but if we do use him much more we trigger the appearances required to trigger his transfer. I think the club feels that it is not worth the fee for a squad player.

Agree that the general feeling is that we are feeling confident of securing a deal for Nketiah but I wouldn't rule out us signing Borja Mayoral on loan from Real Madrid

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Birds of a feather

A cunning plan, get rid of all our strikers.

Mateta has been given zero chance whilst Benteke has been given more chances than anyone in the history of the game and still frustrates to put it kindly.
Of course this is all because Parish is desperate for him to have a run of form... in fact any form in the hope of selling him and getting back some money.
The tragedy is that the more ‘he’ plays him the more his value plummets.

Give Mateta a chance ffs.

The beatings will stop when morale improves.

Perfect summing up
