Not sure anybody knows his true worth
Definitely. I think Norwich and Sheff Utd will be worse, but then who?
Won’t be Villa if they come up.

Remember what happened when CH got the players he needed. The football was fantastic and a joy to watch. TB needs to up the Budget to allow the shackles to come off enough to get us to mid table. If the budget stays the same we will go down, doesn’t matter who is in charge.

Andone was a bargain and hes a good player, and in a counter attacking or quick moving team, he'll do well. Who can forget that goal against Palace. Bissouma will be great, he's young and a bit raw, and to watch his videos at Lille, he was brilliant as an attacking mid scoring some great goals...... The Albion possibly dont allow him that freedom of expression. He's a talent and a good buy.
Locadia is dud, no better than Hemed and never worth 14 million. Ali J is looking increasingly similar.

Last 10 minutes?
Was also described as the worst performance by a PL team prior to that (presumably hadn’t watched us vs Bournemouth).
Cardiff will do well to draw with Palace and lose at Utd. I think we’ll upset the odds in one of our two games and get a point.

History says Palace will struggle without the diving cheat, assuming he's off

I hope you’re wrong. Our luck will run out otherwise. We’ve been outplayed in circa 30 PL games this season, even our Alamo defence has been rumbled. If not, relegation beckons. So many players lack pace, mobility, creativity, the ability to beat a man, ball control under pressure.
So maybe just try for a sensible guess?
Newcastle if Rafa goes and Ashley stays. But I don't really want to have to start each season in the Prem working out which three teams are worse than us.

I am not as confident as you, I fear CH and most of the squad will be with us next season
To see this same snails-pace and uncreative squad again, would be sole destroying. Groundhog Day for the 28,000 regulars.
Sheffield United will be ok
I think CH has been let down by the recruitment team. He is a good manager and I hope we continue with him but he needs some better players. I'd like to see Giroud here next season along with a few good experienced Premier League players. Jahanback, Licadia, Isheaqueerdo have all flopped and some of our better players are getting slower by the week.
CH has survived a second PL season with the team that came up 2 years ago.
I give him a lot of credit for that and hope he gets all the support he needs from the backroom team and the supporters.

He was talking out of hisarse. Bloom is worth considerably more than one billion. I'm not telling you or anyone how I know but I do.
He has paid for all the Albion stuff without the need to borrow a single thing. No one has that sort of wealth hanging about or be prepared to pour it into a bottomless pit unless they have much more invested elsewhere.
Can't see many players going, tbh. The ones we wouldn't mind off-loading just won't have very much value at the moment. How would you rate our chances of getting our money back on Locadia or Jahanbakhsh for example?
I can't be sure. Tony is a supreme gambler. He'll work out he odds. That's all I'm sure about.
Did you write 'CH' because you weren't sure whether Hughton has an 'o' in it?
On a brighter note, we do have Marsh, Konkheart and Bonando

If TB doesn’t do it, we will shirley stink the PL out with Norwich next season and drop.
I reckon we’ll bring in quality players this summer, to protect TB’s investment by staying in the cash cow PL. Several new entrants = several departees.
Does anyone here know if Ashworth’s role includes assessing our current first team squad?
