I can see Carvalho going to Olympiakos on a season long loan in the summer.

That is based on opinon not fact (at the moment).

^ This rumour is gaining momentum.

It may be the best solution with Oly' covering his 'per season' balance as a loan fee?

He could be a sound player for them, he'd stand out in their league and he'd have Dias for company.  They could even send Gonz' there as well.   And if he develops into the next Ronaldo then he's still on our books.

I think that's a good solution.  A creative one.  Just like sending Worrall on loan to Rangers.

If they return better players.  Great.  

SA.

I wouldn't bet on that SA.

The jury is out on him. He started off well and done bogger all since.

Sound familiar?

At the very least, Carvalho needs to be in shop window-starting today!!

An 8 hour round trip for me and Garibaldigirl today. Had been hoping for a raucous full house roaring us on to playoffs when we got tickets. Now, just hope to see a win and some decent football along the way. Whilst I back MON, I would like to see Carvalho, Appiah and Lolley on pitch, probably Byram too. Garibaldigirl would like to add Cash to that for non footballing reasons. Other than that, not fussed. 

Game is definition of an end of season dead rubber, so maybe entertaining as both teams have little pressure. I remember a 5-3 v Oxford backend of 88 season after fixture backlog due to Cup runs. More of the same......if only.

It's almost as if he's massively overrated, and basically fell lucky playing half the season with a 17 goal striker in front of him making him look good.........

How about all the other players that played badly today who had 90 mins? Cash? Lolley? Grabban? Nah let’s criticise the kid that played 15 mins again. I get he’s a divisive issue and it’s become less about him now but can still be rational about it

For someone who cost 13m yep.

PVH could do it, Collymore could do it. Hell McGugan could do it, he got 5 goals from 6 games from the bench under Billy.

He's got quality, but I think it's fair to say if he's as good as he's hyped up to be - and thus "undroppable" - he'd be grabbing those 15min by the scruff of the neck and doing something occasionally.

I blame Martin for this, this could easily have been avoided.

And Keane surely, or is Keane exempt from criticism?

15 mins, especially as game was Petering out Definitely not enough. Cash played really well yesterday didn't he? Skinned his full back all afternoon, put in alot of dangerous balls, worked his nuts off, granted his header should have tested keeper, but I thought he was out MOTM. (Garibaldigirl also thought he played well and she watches his every move ?).
