Please Parish, Freedman and co - cut all losses and let go. Never to come back playing for the Eagles!

I think he will leave today. He apparently had said he wants to stay but the signing of Mateta might well have changed his mind. If he stands any chance of retaining his place in the Belgium squad and making the next world cup, which would be his last real opportunity, he needs to be playing. Sam wants him and he would definitely play at West Brom where a fresh start could benefit him.

If he stays then whilst he will get some game time it's much more likely to be off the bench. I actually think his form this season has improved a lot, even if his goal return hasn't so much. He has been more involved, his wall passes very useful as indeed is his defensive heading ability.

The shape looked good on Saturday and that may well be enough for us to decide that now is the right moment.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.
