Tudders80 674 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 West Brom have offered 3mill for James tavernier. May be worth a cheeky bid. His brother being here would definitely be in our favour Link to post Share on other sites

His brother being here would definitely be in our favour I wouldn't mind him playing here .. He gets the odd goal in every 7th match (so far) .. That's ok for a full back. I have only seen him play a few times, but he looks quite alright Link to post Share on other sites
Lurker 2,118 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Sunderland chairmen said theirs costs up to 2m, why would ours cost double? No idea, thought there's was about £4m. Can't see where he's said it's £2m Link to post Share on other sites
Beamish 0 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I really hope we don't just spend for the sake of it. I'd like to see us give our young players a run. No point in having the academy. It costs a fortune to run so would be better off scrapping it like Huddersfield & Brentford then investing it in the first team. Wow, what a bizarre statement to make :omg: Not really, it costs £4-5m per year to run. If we bring the players through then great. If we don't then it's pointless. Yes really, as we do bring players through...... Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,853 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 And the lottery numbers if you wouldn't mind Raf? 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 Lost me..... Sawyer coming miles away Actually a good show back in the days .. I was glued to the screen, when it was on .. But that's for another thread ;;) Could we please sign some more players please.. with skills ofc, no panic plodders ;) I'd like to Eko these thoughts of signing some more players please.

Yes really, as we do bring players through...... In the past 6/7 years it's only really Gibson of note who we've brought through. We bring through a lot of players that go to League 1, League 2 & Conference teams and they all go for nothing. What I'm saying is I think the talent is there, we just don't use it. I'd like to see Fry keep his place and play 20+ games this season and give Chapman & Tavernier their chances. Link to post Share on other sites

However as a wing back he's a good option Link to post Share on other sites

Dan1234 1,056 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I find it interesting that we only seem to be limiting ourselves to the UK market. Surely looking for flair/attacking wingers from abroad is arguably the least risky as I'd say its an easier position to play than say Cb or Striker which can be considerably different in different countries. Pulis has been known to shop abroad, I'm personally out of touch with the other leagues but I would imagine our wage packets are better than the likes of the French/Portugese/Turkish leagues and probably higher than the bottom half of the German/Italian and Spanish.

Borodane 6,301 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I’d just like to know where the missing LEGO piece is for the house I’m building with my son. It's been pictured at Wolves having a medical :( Damn. I was sure I saw Steve Bruce steal it when I went to the toilet for a minute. That would explain the dinosaur footprint in the garden.
