So West Brom are bidding to take him on loan with a view to buy? Why are they wasting their time? Or is this all made up. Either way, he ain't going anywhere

So what if you give an opinion and someone laughs? Get over it. It is so harmless on the grand scheme of things. I used to get regular laughs for some of my opinions To remove laughter from the options in case someones feelings get hurt is over the top I think Anyways, has Chapman signed yet?

Are Villa and Boro just targeting the exact same players? Tick tock, 3 hours to go. Will Chapman have to do a medical I wonder? I am sure our medical staff know him well at this stage

Of course we did. We had to pay him ,I would estimate, 30-50% of the last year of his contract. It's in his interest to try and play football for the next 5 years or more. He is only 30

Do players get brought for medicals in limos? Genuine question

It's a very gray area you are getting into moderating whats a joke and what isn't, what someone finds funny or doesn't. I think people need to relax and if someone laughs at their post, just not let it bother them. FAR bigger things going on in the world

For once United get a relatively tricky group. I think they may end up in the Europa league Liverpool will top that group I reckon I fancy city to do well this year, Semis at least

Just looked on his twitter there. What a strange and cryptic development!

Hope you are right

Thats Chapman off to Milwall I fear What are people saying that he posted?

At least ye got a trip up north

Paul Ca(fu)ddis was becoming a bit of a cult figure here I think. best of luck to him

The gap between our best 11 and theirs has drastically closed in 18 months. I would love it if we got them next round of the cup, at Ewood.

Different things wind people up differently. I don't know if you can pander to everyone really. Removing laughter emojis for fear of people getting wound up is completely over the the top I think. To say its trolling, I dunno... "Oh Mr Mod please remove the laughter emoji because it winds me up when someone laughs at me" I used it one day because I genuinely found what the poster wrote to be funny. He then got annoyed because he hadn't intended to be funny. Ye mods don't have an easy job..

On Caddis, the guy ran rampant against the team leading League 2. An assist and almost scored a beauty. Letting him play was Mowbray being a decent man and giving him a little shop window.

To see a mod writing that a laughing emoji was being "abused" is so funny. We have reached peak snowflake. Oh no, someone laughed at my post on a message board. I think I am going to go for a little cry Bring it back

On a free Washington would be decent. A direct, no frills, old fashioned striker. Not as good as Graham, but quicker for sure

He looked decent enough against Lincoln! Ruthless Tony strikes again

Reading between the lines on Travis. I think Mowbray will only let him go if he is guaranteed to play. As he is so close to breaking through for us, this would make sense. Although I would imagine even without a clause he would be god enough to make all but maybe 3-4 League 1 teams. Then again maybe Mowbray only wants him to go to a top 6 side. I can see him going to Portsmouth or Fleetwood, although I would prefer Portsmouth instead of a team managed by that plank Barton

Very unfortunate for the lad. Felt like he needed a breakthrough season this year, or a few goals at least. Tough on him

Nutshell

Embarrassingly, I have never heard of any of them

I don't know how much actually game time the kids are involved in. Looks like all drills to me

Gareth McAuley about to join Ipswich on a free. We could do worse I reckon.
