Exactly we need to look out BEHIND YOU
This is nonsense.
We are EIGHT points above the bottom three. Newcastle win two games, and Saints and Burnley keep up their recent good form, and we could soon be dragged very much into the mix.
He is just not ready yeat Chris has said he is VERY promising but would only ever be behind Kayal as a sub for that game. So seems he thinks as I do that he isnt at that level yet. I am sure Chris will give him his chance when he is.
Agreed we are ahead of where we need to be but cant be complacent. We play Man U next and after that we will need to get some more points in the bag to feel so confident.

All of those clubs need to win 3 games MORE than we do to overtake us.

Yes, when did I ever say he was ahead of Kayal - or any of our other CMs? I didn't - but if we are hit by multiple injuries or suspensions we might have to give him a game - paying £10M to get in another 5th.choice to make sure we didn't have to put him in would be stupid.
Did you fail maths?
Burnley are 5 points behind us. They only need to win 2 more than us to pass us. That's hardly impossible with 16 games to go.

Doesn't quite rule out buying Mac Allister and then loaning him out.

Maths not a strength for you either, then, BG?
Next you'll be telling us Dunk is worth £10M again! LoL!

Hmmm... maybe the proposed new guy brings something we haven't got at the moment?

I wouldn't let any of our Development Squad players anywhere near the 1st team until, if they are considered good enough, they have had a good season or two out on loan to another Football League club first. That is exactly what the likes of Christian Walton, and the two Ben's White and Barclay, amongst others, are doing at the moment.
To my mind throwing them straight into the 1st team squad equates to utter madness.

8 points above the 3rd bottom with a superior GD so 9 points extra required which is 3 wins more than we get = 9 points.
12 months ago Dunk would have been valued at about £10m, Fulham apparently oiffered £5m, but as I have said many times he has improved beyond recognition this season and as such his value will have risen.

With football prices going crazy and Dunk's improvement over the last 2 years I would want 40 million for him. Worth every penny too.

It doesn't mean that CH was referring in general, he might be thinking of the 25 man squad.
Moving the goalposts as always. I mentioned 'Newcastle, Saints and Burnley', and you responded that 'ALL those clubs need to win three more games than us to catch us'.
They don't.
Utter drivel. Not even worthy of a response.

10m for a Premier League CB who is an ever-present ? Seriously ?? 12 months ago we would not even have bothered answering a £10m enquiry for Dunk, so I very much doubt Fulham came forward with a timewasting £5m bid. Where did you hear that ?
And he hasn't improved "beyond recognition" this season at all. He was immense the season we just missed out on promotion, even better when we went up, and has since proved that he can more than handle the step-up to the PL. Thats not a sudden improvement over the space of a year, its been a gradual process. He's been a lynchpin of the team for 3+ years now.
£10m was a bonkers valuation at the time you announced it.
