DJMortimer Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Given our financial position, I imagine we would have been receptive to bids for just about anybody. It was not so much a case for who we wanted to get rid of, but who there was interest in. Ideally, we'd keep Westwood, but if we can get a decent fee for him then I'm afraid it's an easy decision.

How do you know we haven't been trying to sell him already? It takes someone willing to buy at the right price not just a story in the press. Not every club knows whats going on in every position.... Simply announcing to the BBC reporters would get them talking on twitter and get interest moving..... Jos has probably been told Westwood's wages are too high weeks ago. So he has known all pre-season really.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree re Hutch RCB. If playing a pair I prefer these two... But Fernando must play... Still think we'll have enough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bothered either way to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Proof of the pudding and all that.... Jos has set his stall out now, we’ll find out if he got it right in a couple of hours or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB has to show he is not overrated. Usually he has played much too far back and rarely runs up to a level with the strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy logics Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 As good as it gets nearly that... Looking forward to seeing Hutch a bit further forward, maybe Jos has brought out his inner box to box? UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garth Southgate showed the importance of set pieces to win you games with England in the world cup almost all our goals came from them, if your not good at defending them either it costs you as well.

That’s not opinion it’s fact. And one of them has already made a string of mistakes although enjoying a good Press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
