The amount of chances we make for strikers we need a CF who can take them .
That takes the weight off Salah and Diaz.

I’m sure a quality goalscorer will fill his boots in this side.

I agree! Realistically you'd struggle to replace Salah with another RW only - it'll have to be goals across the front line in total that does it.

Couple of years to go with Salah now too so more trophies could be in sight if you get the right guy.

We still score goals outside Salah - he is the big scorer but we are still the top scorers in the league

Three players in double figures

Add a CF and it helps a bit more

I know you do, but titles are won by sides that have a guy getting 25ish normally.

Obviously the team needs to contribute too and having another 2/3 guys in double figures is ideal, but your best chance is having a main man in there.

Its not a pressing issue - you have great players currently, its just one you could address with a young talent now with 2 years to develop into the main man.

Arsenal need a main man now, they don't have the luxury of time like you do! Very interested to see who they go for.

Think that’s why they should at the young lad ar Frankfurt

Wouldn’t also mind if they looked at Delap if they thought it was time for Jota to move on

With the right coaching and setup, Delap could do very well! Ive seen him linked to United - hope he doesn't make that move if I'm honest!

Yeah I think he has a bright future ahead - powerful , quick and can finish

Who hasn't been linked to Utd? Not their fault, it's paper talk. I'd be surprised if Delap went there. Who knows, he might be rocking up at Bramley Moore Dock next August .

The poor bloke has already suffered a relegation battle - he won’t want another

We are safe next year, guaranteed. Having seen the play off games, one of those will go straight back down. I don't think Burnley will score enough to stay up and that leaves Man Utd for the third spot, just below Leeds

 

[Lord Tyrion]

New ground, Moyes will be buying half a new team over the summer. Tell Delap the team will be built around him and if he wants a transfer in two years, assuming he scores lots of goals, we won't stand in his way. Better than getting splinters at one of the other teams that might be in for him. We did this with players in the past, we offer them regular games and they are in the shop window with no funny business when it comes to them going. He could do worse.

In all seriousness Delap for £40mil wlll be a good signing for anyone

Everton will be solid next year and expect them to be in amongst the likes of Fulham , Bournemouth etc fighting for Euro spots

Playing for the opposition I’m sure he will be.

Yes Goodson is a cracking football stadium.
A bit dated but the atmosphere is second to none.

Spent half my childhood there the other half in Anfield.
My dad just loved footy

Footballer Morgan Gibbs-White banned from driving for speeding

The Nottingham Forest and England midfielder admitted breaking the speed limit six times.

www.bbc.co.uk

Oh dear. Now he won’t be able to drive to Manchester to take part in any contract negotiations. Bad luck Pep!

In his defence, everybody speeds on that road. There are loads of incidences of it.

They all want to get away from Derby as quick as possible!

They have some good young strikers, Ben Doak and Jayden Danns for starters. What worries is not giving them game time means they could go and make it good elsewhere.

Danns needs a full season out on loan at a prem club , same with Koumas before we see how they do

Doak I think will go this summer , quick player but not sure at the top level

But not eally given the chance..

 

[nickjdavis]

Wouldn’t take either of Newcastle or City owners

Sadly the vast majority of supporters get no choice in the matter.

It’s going to be tough for Doak with Mo in front of him

Sadly the vast majority of supporters get no choice in the matter.

Very true mate - it’s why I wouldn’t have loved to seen the German model put in place everywhere
