Think Mitoma is injured, but he'd be with the Japan squad of he wasn't

One of these funny little graphs they do to demonstrate stuff.. Defenders progressive passing v aerial ability. On these axes Webster is one of the best in the league. So is Burn, nestling next to VVD and Maguire. Right next to him is Kilman, described as the most 'underrated CB in the...

I think that's an argument you could make for Lewis Dunk, but for Dan Burn, he's got at much chance of being stuck on the bench for Brighton next season as he would for Newcastle.

There is some sense though. If their preferred target is only available at 20m, and they'd rather spend 10 for a CB, then they going to look around to see who else might be available for 10. If they ultimately decide to spend 20 then they'll spend it on their preferred target, not on Burn.

Have you read Collapse by Jared Diamond? (Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed). Its an excellent book, ostensibly looking at how environmental destruction led to societal collapse, with Easter Island the prime case study but as he looks further and at different examples (modern-day...

Of course not! It would be totally unique, House of Cards stuff. BUT, just playing with ideas, it could be the only way for him to keep some kind of control of the situation, if it becomes obvious he has misled the house. He would be honour bound to resign under the ministerial code and the...

I mean if he resigns first, before the letters go in. There will be a leadership contest which he can presumably stand in.

Possibility: the Gray report party much confirms that he 'misled' parliament, he doesn't agree but acknowledges the verdict and stands down, triggering a leadership election. This heads off any vote of no no confidence, the party rallies round, nobody serious stands against him and he wins the...

Part of the question is, 'how good is Dan Burn really'? Valuations of 10-15m are still factoring in the belief he isn't 'that' good, he's really a reserve CB and he's in a purple patch. But if he really is the player who has kept Lukaku quiet, dictating play from the back - then he's a 30m+ player.

Would be a shame if he went before we could get a decent 'Burn baby Burn' song to the Disco Inferno tune going...

I think we all know that we have to wait until March or even April for the good stuff now

And of course, bid rejected. So he's not coming anyway

Depends how he does now. If they storm the second half, he'll stay. If they stay up by the skin of their teeth, I think he'll go

On one hand you're right, this is no place for Brexit discussion, although it did speak to how this still influences our loyalties on any political issue. On the other hand, there is definitely not a 'perfectly good' Brexit thread elsewhere, i won't go near that cluster fxck!! :lolol:

Potter is going to be on the radar of all big clubs and surely will want to compete at the very highest level. If he wants to stay here forever then great, but I doubt it. He'll want to go somewhere with solid foundations, so if they employ Ashworth it ticks that box. We can say what we want...

Because identifying new manager candidates would be part of the DOF's remit

I dont. If they go for Ashworth, which has to be a very realistic possibility, then I'd be very surprised if he doesn't come for Potter in the summer, and then, well, it could be a whole house of cards.....

Labour didn't know what the **** they were doing then, they got totally tied in knots because they knew a large part of their electorate wanted Brexit. Didn't do them any good anyway as they lost all their red wall seats. Brexit wasnt an issue along party lines which is a large part of how...

Ah, was kind of hoping our Chris would get the gig, reckon he could do a job, rescued us and Forest in the championship, and kept us up twice - wouldn't have been the most popular choice of course but he'd sort out their defence. He won't have become a bad manager overnight. Roy probably a...
