I saw quotes from it, sounds like a done deal with Zaha being loaned back to us, doesn't it?

[TheChipPrince]

There was no mention of that, but I did miss the 1st 10 minutes.

Stuck up for him as you would expect and spoke very well.

I most probably owe you £100 Aaron and if he is sold its the most mug punter thing I have done and that is saying something! Seems likely now.

We have brought in Alex Nimely on loan, anyone got any views on him? Seems like he is of the Bolassie/Zaha ilk?

He isn't bad on Football Manager 2013 if that counts for anything

He's is definitely upset Zaha couldn't show enough steel to maintain focus and maintain form through the added attention the England call up brought. You know I think it is a partial hissy fit on Zaha's front and I think that will be proved right as soon as he leaves us and is on blistering form elsewhere.

Or maybe when he has signed for a prem club and can go back to his normal self for us, when on loan for the rest of the season.

I think its more likely, and he said so, that so many agents and people are ringing him all the time, 'we can get you this deal', 'fancy playing for these, great deal, x amount a week', 'I'll make you a star, come on board with me' etc

That will have far more effect on him than an Eng call up 2 months ago.

I sort of meant exactly that as a result of the Eng call up, it wasn't just the 10 mins in and of itself he played that effected him, for sure. I think if you saw personally what he was doing on the wing before his head got turned and what he is doing now, they are just simply not the same player, never mind a player not in form, or experiencing a dip.

Leonardo Ulloa deal moving closer, looks like could be signing by mid next week. Exactly what we need, a powerhouse upfront.

Cya later CMS.

And of the best players to have ever played in the championship is back in the squad for first time since August tomorrow

Probably get injured during the warm-up though lol.

[Chompy]

Holloway is an absolute legend, has you hooked on every word.

Pretty much what he said, that Zaha will be going to one of the big clubs and hopefully getting loaned back for the rest of the season.

Don't see him playing much tbh, pretty sure his time at the Amex is done

Another immense away win for the Hornets.  The 3-5-2 works so well on the counter.  Just need to figure out a plan B for when we are struggling to break down teams at home.  Vydra is incredible.  Quick possibly the best striker I've ever seen at Vicarage Road.

Too young to remember George Reilly obv.

Huge day for Leicester

Cardiff drew, Hull, Palace, Middlesboro lose

2 points off 2nd with a much better goal diff and Chris Wood looking a hugely significant signing. We have a lot of flair creative players, now with a second goalscorer up with Nugent we are firing the chances in, which we weren't converting consistently two months ago

Next, Middlesborough at home, a big one


Huge day for Barnsley and Sheff Wed at the other end, too

Wednesday were great value for the win at Hull just now, were robbed of a second goal at 1-0 and a Hull sending off by eccentric refereeing and produced a terrific away performance you wouldn't have thought they had in them

Massive win and puts US big up there.

Wiiiiii

You're right about Wednesday - and we play Wolves on Saturday.

It just wouldn't be the Wednesday way to make life easy and win on Saturday.
