Comment #2Oldgit1,
You’re calling lesh a lap dog. What does that make you, Jib’s guard dog? The bloke now looks as though he’s had two lifetime bans and gawd k ows how many moderations, there’s a reason for that. There’s also a reason hexhamtoon hasn’t made any other comments other than copied quotes or links because the first time he did make a comment was to use an offensive comment about disabled people. Copied and pasted or not he knew exactly that it should not be repeated. You’re still in denial he posted as Jeff from Benwell.

Comment #4Yeah get Aarons, another forward and a midfielder would be a massive bonus

Comment #5A logical deal would to offer Murphy back with some money and take Aaron’s.
Him and Lewis would be amazing full backs for us, not in Robertson and Trent alexander class but potentially they could!

Comment #6Were Norwich worst or second worst defence last season? Their were mitigating factors, but I am unsure how many plaudits he or Lewis got for their defensive attributes.
Aarons is good, but possibly not what we need this window if we are limited by cash and space.
I’m more than happy with Manquillo currently, and Krafth/Yedlin as back ups, I think an attacking right back is low on the priority list.

Comment #7The goal Brighton conceded is how to get at them let their defence mess about with it and press them into mistakes
Almiron needs to start ahead of Carroll to pressure their midfield

Comment #20Toonbrother,
I was a fan of Murphy when he joined, and would have no qualms about giving him more time, but I think if you are balancing a squad selection of 25, Murphy is competing with Almiron and ASM. Hendrick and Ritchie offer alternative options, and while can play the same positions, offer more across the park.
I would be waiting till late on to decide on him, and it all depends on other departures and arrivals for me.

Comment #23Jail,
Making saves relies on shots on target, Dubs was the only one not to face Joe and Almiron!!

Comment #28Jail for Ashley: thought you would come back with regards to me and Jib. I find him a lot more entertaining than you. Your obsession knows no bounds, Jeff I’m sure is just your imagination, even so, you have said things about me which if I had my way would have had you banned, but you appear to have a charmed life, or perhaps you butter up to the wife. You are full of it. Stick to football related. Which you have been good at recently and I was coming round to your way of thinking.
My thing in life is I give everybody a second or third chance, there’s nothing wrong with that.
To constantly have a go at the man regardless of his post being innocent and then turning it into a barrage of hate. Not because of the content but because of the pure hatred inside you.
When you get to my age you will mellow. You become more forgiving.
It’s very noticeable that you, toon 22 and Lesh always back up each other against Jib, Of course I will side with Jib not because he needs it as he is quite capable of talking for himself but it’s to do with fairness, your onslaughts on other posters are shameful but if anyone says out about the veg, you back him to the hilt.
Now play nice.
