Smug little t***, how would he know? yes there’s a obviously a chance he could leave, but it’s not definite like he said, he’s under contract and one thing we know about Parish after the Wilf will he or won’t he every transfer window, is he won’t let Eze or Olise go without someone making us a silly offer we can’t refuse.

Agreed - we could have won 10-0 and we still would've been at the end of the show. We're not part of the title race or the relegation battle (anymore) so it doesn't make good TV to show us. If anything we're lucky the producers decided to put the Coventry/United game at the end of the show otherwise we would have been a mere footnote on the programme.

Don't care.

Danny Murphy is usually good, but if he thinks Eze will go I guess he's just reflecting all our concerns. I hope Eze stays, of course, but it really doesn't bother me what anyone on MoTD thinks.

Of course it could happen, but I think it’s the smug cockshore way he said it, like it’s definitely going to happen that bugged people. Thinks he knows it all

When it is top 6 like all pundits they know their onions.

When it is anyone else, they revert to broad-sweep cliche and blog-speak.

Thus, the sales of our players. We are not a selling club. None since AWB 5 years ago. Only a player adamant to leave and/or financial regs will force a sale. Thus...

Blog - Manure may be looking elsewhere other than Olise for X reasons. Thus, the deal was in an advanced stage and now Manure have diverted attention elsewhere, perhaps to force down the price.

"Reality" - Olise wants to stay, the club want him to stay, Manure have not even made an approach.

Now, I don't know if this is true. Problem is, neither do the bloggers. They just want traction for their blogs to earn cash. Bigger problem, that traction feeds into the rumour mill and is repeated by people who should know better.

I think Eze will sign a new contract this summer.

That’s a brilliant point, the times I’ve said to someone or myself while watching these pundits “how the bloody hell would he know?” You just know they don’t sit and watch every single minute of every single game, maybe Murphy would watch every Liverpool game or Shearer would watch every Newcastle game, but when they make bold statements about the likes of us, Luton, Burnley or as you say anyone outside their clubs or the big 6, you think ‘really, how would you possibly know that?’
