Amps has faded a bit recently I think.

But I suspect that much of the cohesion in the squad emanates from him, and his value to the club transcends the simple money aspect. Give him what he wants contract-wise and it may be easier to hold on to the players we don’t want to sell.

Just my take.

BBC gossip suggests Arsenal are looking to sell Nwaneri in the summer with Chelsea interested - who are somewhat of a graveyard for young players. Depends how much he likes London. Palace getting into the Europa league may also be attractive, albeit Glasner leaving would not help their case.

I think he would be a cracking signing for us, it could be considered a risky move on his part, but at the same time a move where he could get his career back on track and to the level that was present when he burst onto the scene.

There is no doubt that Dowman’s emergence has effectively nullified any hopes he had of breaking into the Arsenal first team. Fingers crossed from my perspective.

Gaby Agbonlahor said on talk sport that Leeds should try to progress in the summer and get rid of the dead wood like Dan James and Willy Gnonto. Not something I'd like to see.

Although he did say last summer that they should get rid of Daniel Farke.

I wouldnt call either of them dead wood. Dan James needs to get over his fitness problems and get up to a batter standard, Premiership wise. He works hard for the team but his quality at times isnt good enough. Willy is a player i would like to see us keep, but he may feel he wont get enough game time with us and want away.
Both are good squad players.

Why would anyone put any store in what Gaby Agbonlahor says or does? The man is a complete idiot.

I wouldn't. Plus he is very anti Leeds and likes to wind people up.

If Farke wants to continue playing out from the back then a goalie who can play such a game is necessary.
On last night's evidence Darlow can't do that and such as Nick Pope who has been mentioned would be probably worse.

I really would love to know who these anti Leeds people are. I keep hearing them mentioned, even in jest, but I see no anti Leeds posts ...

My comment was more on the wind up part of Marie’s post. We have been plenty of those.

And my own dream transfer target for us next season.

Probably too expensive wages, probably have better offers than us as well.

But if Spuds go down please just ask the question LUFC and offer him as many mirrors as he wants.

Well Farke knows him well, and was chatting to him afterwards, perhaps with an offer 😁.

Joking aside, like Bowen, I’d have him in a heartbeat but I suspect there will be bigger suitors than us.

Forgot they worked together briefly at Norwich.

He probably would but never know, he's nearly 30 now may be a bit old for the richer clubs

He's a supremely talented biscuit.

We've taken risks on far less gifted ones so in this case no.

He's a match winner on his own which negates his biscuit status

Can't win a match if he is unavailable to play. Like you say though probably worth a punt if Spurs became panic sellers. Would give our medical department something to do other than deliberately trying to end Pascal's career......
