Absolutely mental! It's not even like he's had a poor season!

I think folk have been a bit dramatic about the quality of his performances last season. He showed enough in the early part of the season when he had that purple patch to show he's worth keeping on, IMO. Fair play to the lad putting the hard yards in when most of the other players are away on their holidays.....

Probably because they don’t have the cash...Ask fans of Man City how they feel about foreign owners and see how you get on...

To be fair, Villa will have done this to plenty of other relegated teams over the years themselves....

To be fair, neither of his names are names you'd normally associate with Norway.....

Cypress Hill- Dr Greenthumb

Yet a quick Google search will tell you he's won twice as many promotions than Mick McCarthy as a manager.... It's a funny old game.

Villa were so poor, Fulham deserved winners.

S8 & Blue beat you to that joke yesterday young man.... Better luck next time!

Did you watch Conway much last season? He really struggled IMO and I don't think I'm alone in that. Just a question, but, if Mowbray had deemed Conway surplus to requirements, would you be upset or think that was wrong?? There is absolutely no room for sentiment in professional sport. Conway has been a great servant to the club, but if he struggled in league one and he's now a year older, the championship will be even tougher for him, that much stands to reason. If finances are tight, as they have been for the last few years, we need to have every single squad member earning a wage making a big contribution.

Being in contract talks with Conway should just about do it!

Madness- One step beyond

For goodness' sake, I don't think you're showing off, somebody else made that suggestion in a post some pages back, not me, I was merely covering all bases. I've never thought philanthropy was anything other than a good thing, personally.

I don't think it is, for what it's worth, someone else made that observation, I was just paraphrasing. You can spend your money on whatever you want, that's how life works..... You can also think as you please.

Is this a serious comment? The improvement in this lad the season just gone has been quite something. His most productive season in front of goal so far, his finishing could still be better, but then he's only 23 years old......

Glass houses and all that, Mercer. Incidentally, can any threats of wagers/charitable donations/people showing off that they can spare £100 (however you want to interpret it) be done via PM? Many thanks.

If you actually think our best player should start on the bench, then you're trolling. STOP IT.

I've got to agree on Martinez tbh, his teams never seem to be able to defend.....

Not sure if you saw it or not, but he went off injured the other night in the Europa League final, so I reckon that's got a lot to do with it tbh.

I think Gary Rowett is miles better than Garry Monk tbh. I really did never get the hype of the latter which he seems to believe far too much for me. Rowett is decent, but I think the problems at Derby run deep and they seem to bottle it when it matters. As someone else alluded to, maybe someone like a McCarthy would be a good bet for them....

Are you on the wind up JAL?? Rovers players aren’t the standard of Burnley as up until this season we were two divisions below. Surprised that needs to be clarified. Haven’t you been paying attention? It’s been awful, but as the song goes, ‘we’re in our way back’. (We live in hope).

Rovers not finding international players? Is this a joke? Last season we had 3 playing regularly for their national team and we were in the third division!! Outside the big time, it’s always going to be difficult to get these players...

Don't drink and type mate, you'll only mug yourself off....
