Kelly and Riedewald...

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

You do know that some international injuries are pretend and that the press love click bait?

Let's see what Roy says before people wet their knickers.

I disagree. Yes, he has the odd heart stopping moment but by and large he is one of the most cultured players we have with the ball. He always looks to play forward, usually on the floor and gets us moving forward unlike most of the rest of the team who prefer sideways and backwards

Would be interested to know if the rumors about him wanting Champions League football are indeed just rumours or whether he’s said something concrete to that end.

He’s a very good defender but is error prone, injury prone, presumably on very high wages and is a guaranteed starter here. If he can find a Champions League club willing to look past all that, give us our money back and cover his wages then good luck to him

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

i assume it is the case he will be out this weekend.

only option i can see is promoting a kid into the team alongside kelly, i have faith in kelly to do a good enough job, he will need somebody who actually plays CB by trade alongside him.

you never know, nobody knew AWB would be ready until joel got injured.

on the subject of him being sold, anything under £40m and we say no, he cost us £26m just over a year ago, since then he has more than proved himself as one of the best defenders outside the top 6, tightened up our defence and has worked his way back into the world champions squad.

the guys a rolles royce of a CB and i would be gutted if he left.

Sakho is a great player, and probably the highest calibre of centre back we could attract in our current position as a club.

However, can't help but feel the wages and transfer fee we get for him could be spent more wisely elsewhere.

Tomkins is close to being Sakho's equal, for a much lower fee and much lower wages.
