    Sam Johnstone

    I’m still a fan of his as, on balance, his occasional outstanding shot saving has saved us points. Agreed many shortcomings and clearly uncomfortable with the “playing out from the back” nonsense…as I am, it that’s another story !
    Presumably he will go during this window in order to secure a transfer fee (rather than leave on a free)
    If so, I would say good luck buddy and thanks Johnno.

    I think that we do need to sell him in the January window otherwise we lose him in the summer for nothing. Hopefully, we can utilise the money to strengthen other areas. I haven't really seen enough of Button or Palmer to make any real judgement on them but I have heard good reports regarding Palmer.

    Never been a fan Prando as his command of the box is shocking. The mistake ( another ) against Derby and the pathetic sending off will have done little for his reputation.

    In my opinion he’s not a patch on Ben Foster!

    Hope he goes as any money would be better invested in a midfielder as Livermore had his day - two years ago! Pointless having Dike without the calibre of a Okay in the centre who unlike Livermore can pass, tackle and be mobile.

    Not sure there will be any interest at this stage. No one is desperate for a keeper at the moment....so most will wait till the season end then take the free......Very much neutral about him.....but good luck to him what ever way it goes...

    I might be wrong but I get the impression that you don't rate Livermore.

    I rate talent and midfield is the engine of any team! Gallagher was always going to be a great player - Okay was brilliant and remember the days of Mulumbu - sheer work rate!

    Livermore was past it two years ago and whilst I don’t like Fat Sam he rarely gets a player wrong and he too thought Livermore was past it! No creativity - can’t pass - can’t tackle and not mobile! That’s the sad truth!

    PS - he’s a nice chap though like the old guy in our warehouse who was fab ten years ago but packs the wrong items now so it’s sad to say - addios mi amigo! He will get a hamper though😭
