Re: Joe Ralls.

Yet you manage to hear things.

I have never claimed to be ITK. What I've heard is very,very little but first hand and presumably of interest, that's all. What is your problem, you're a very argumentative sod? 🤣

Not being argumentative, just pointing out what I notice. You've never claimed to be and I'd never calkl you ITK, but to laugh at one set of people and say there are no leaks and then leak something yourself...that's not me being argumentative mate, I also don't have a problem I'm just pointing something out, which seems is a problem for you because you've been called out

Re: Joe Ralls.

I was told that he's asked for a lot of money to stay, loads more money than we're prepared to pay so he's likely to be off in the summer. He has been injured a lot over the last few years, I guess the medical staff will always be consulted prior to contracts being discussed with any player as there's no point signing up a player again who's got an on-going problem

Not having a go at all, but Welshlad, more than anyone else who posts on here, has a history of getting “in the know” type posts right - in fact, I’m struggling to think of a time he’s been wrong. So, for now, I’ll believe him over you although I believe that you, more or less, got the Keiffer Moore situation right.

Very simply, he's asked for a more than we are prepared to pay. It may be that we end up persuading him to stay for less but who knows It mirrors the Joe Bennett situation, other than Joe was injured and ended up at Wigan on bugger all a week. There will be a lot of younger, decent players available in the summer as clubs tighten their belts, although I don't blame any player in their late twenties asking for a well-paid contract, it's a short career

Joe Ralls is a fine player, but he's only come to the top in recent years as our overall midfield options have shrunk dramatically in terms of quality. Yes, he's currently our most influential midfielder, but if the club has a wages ceiling then I wouldn't be breaking it for him.

Re: Joe Ralls.

Absolutely spot on. compared to the others he's brilliant and dynamic, although 29 this year. I reckon we could get a better, younger version for the same wages, who'd also have some residual value in the future. The way we are playing under Morison means that pace has a place as well, what I'd give to have young (and fit) Jordan Mutch driving through the midfield at the moment

Jordon Mutch is only a year older than Ralls and has never recaptured what he had with us. now plays in the A league in Australia

I meant a Jordan Mutch when he was at his (very short) peak.......
