we need to get rid of VAR
No. Need to get better at implementing it though.
Can’t go back to relying on the bloke on the pitch having one go to get it right. That would be a massive step backwards.

The problem with VAR is how it is being used. It is supposed to be "clear and obvious error!"
A player's knee being 3 inches in front is not "clear and obvious" and anyway it should be the position of the feet. If it needs more than a minute to look at the original decision should stay as it's not "clear and obvious."

WBA need a new manager
They need an entire shake up at the top. New owners, new board. A manager can only do so much for a club. Albion have had several managers and the situation hasn't improved. Time for someone to come buy the club and restore it to being the old and great club it once was. (I'm a Villa fan, but we've been there so I know what it's like).
Arsenal need to play Ozil or loan him out
I'd take him on loan at St James' Park.
Potentially Wilshire on a "Pay as You Play" deal.

We can't loan him - no one will pay his wages. If it was up to me I would cut our losses and terminate his contract immediately

give each team limited appeals, you appeal for a decision that is clearly wrong you loose an option to appeal. you start with 2 appeals? you keep your right to appeal if the decision is clearly a good call
Newcastle need to get Scharr playing as good as he can (or someone as good as when at his best to come in).
The last couple of match nights have been pretty bad nights for Newcastle given their run of games.

Zero hours contracts are illegal in football. Must be at least 2 years on full pay regardless of performance ????????
These spoiled brats have had too good for too long. Imagine the money they want.

Pointless article!
We all know what our clubs need. All he’s done is rewritten the gossip column from the last couple of months.
Lazy journalism!!

With a points gap between the top 6 and bottom 6 of of 9 points its quiet a tight league, some luck will go along way get some of that in?
Sack McNaulty?
Never heard of him.
ABANDON THE SEASON! It is understandable that Sam Allardyce is calling for a circuit breaker and maybe that is what is required. Having said that there are still 22 Premier League games to be played. This isn't like last season, where clubs completed the fixture schedule. There were fewer games! Furthermore, there are cup games and the Euros to be played. The season should be abandoned!
Furthermore, if clubs like Manchester City who have bigger squads can't field a team then what chance do other clubs. CALL THE SEASON OFF!
i know its hard to believe but i think sam is a better manager than a scientist , mind you its a close run thing

The season has been called off before, it was called off during World War Two. The world is at war again, but fighting a different kind of war. Stadiums are empty to protect the fans, so maybe stadiums need to be shut and the season abandoned to protect everybody including the players and staff. It is not just about getting the virus, it's the long term effects afterwards. ABANDON THE SEASON!
So nobody is buying anyone then. Good. Nice quiet January without ridiculous speculation articles
They can’t move between tiers!! ????
I think Man Utd should sign every professional footballer, both past and present.
There'll be no players to sign soon, they're all catching this horrible virus!
I think you could say the same about, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City and Tottenham.
They've TRIED, - but, Saint Alki Fungusson keeps DRINKING the TRANSFER BUDGET!!!
If premiership clubs continue to spend money at the same rate they did in summer, with continued empty stadiums, then it just shows the lack of respect for fans.
Time for all teams to look at the cost of a ticket - it’s clear they don’t need fans money, so time to reduce the cost. £20 max per ticket would be a good starting point.

Absolutely spot on. The clubs however only ever look to screw every £ they can out of us fans so they are unlikely to change. We are an irrelevance to them as it's the armchair masses who help keep their troughs full to the brim
Silly post. In football they have to constantly improve, more than any other sport. Standing still is not an option, see Sheffield United. So they look to boost their squads wherever they can. TV rights, sponsorships and merchandise sales help, with the supporters money being a nice to have to boost coffers. They will still spending, they have to, no spending no success
Stadiums are not empty currently because of the ticket prices..
Agreed; wasn’t there an article on BBC that showed which clubs made money without the inclusion of ticket sales? Everything is geared up to fleece the fans; sickening when you see the wages these players are on, even young reserve players. The sad fact is the standard of football is actually dire compared to 10-20 years ago and beyond. Football is just self aggrandisement to mask mediocrity.
Clubs want to win, fans want to win.
Clubs want to play in the EPL, as do fans.
If they don't spend fans will flood radio call-ins accusing the board of lacking ambition, and when fans return the terraces will be awash with chants 'sack the board' and chairman/owners out.

I believe this is the model in Germany, and let's face it...that league is far stronger than the Premier League at the moment
The ticket prices go towards making players multi-millionaires, which wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t allowed to underpay their taxes by way of ‘image rights’ limited companies. Top players save £600,000 per year by doing this, including Marcus Rashford.
They tried to get '20 is plenty' through for all away matches a couple of seasons ago, instead they agreed on a max of £30, which just meant teams who charged less than £30 for an away ticket just put their prices up to £30! Fans screwed as usual.
Just a reminder, The league is called The Premier League and it has been for quite a while!!
A secret deal between British media and Mr Nasser Al-Khelaifi to sack Tuchel and bring Pochettino and Dele Alli to PSG (Tuchel will not buy Alli) On the return: the British media will stop attacking Mr Al-Khelaifi and Qatar world cup.
Would you apply this logic to every industry post pandemic and we move to universal income?
Respect doesn't come into it. As long as customers sorry I mean fans keep turning up on matchdays they'll charge as much as they can.
No such thing as the premiership, unless you’re Scottish or into rugby. It’s been the premier league for decades now.
Supply and demand. Only way clubs will reduce ticket prices is if they’re struggling to sell every ticket every week.
20 pounds? How about a fiver across the board and children under 14 get in FREE. Is football a grassroots sport or not?
Sam needs Circuit van Breaker on a free from Ajax. His only hope.

Why would Rice want to go to an amateur outfit like Chelsea? Lampard hasn't got a clue, a pure vanity appointment.
Who needs what? West Brom, Fulham, Sheff Utd and Burnley need a Mira le as all of them will be relegated.
What everybody needs is for you to get a new hobby.
I take it your PhD is not in counting past two.
They appear to have upset you. Your 2-0 win v FFC assisted by home town officiating bigtime 2 years ago. Mitro goal chalked off. Same bloke allowed moving ball goal kick. Your mob aside from that were not better. FFC 3.
Liverpool haven't replace Lovren and VVD and Gomez will be lucky to play again this season. Matip is good but injury prone and injured again now. That leaves Fabinho who is playing out of position, 19 year old Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips to play the PL, CL and FA Cup between them. That is not enough and whether they sign a replacement for Lovren in Jan will probably define their season.
I am looking forward to us getting Thiago finally back after that horrendous tackle by Richarlison.
If they've got squad numbers then Klopp rates them.
All teams get injuries but with Liverpool it's like a national disaster!! Their fans really know how to whinge.

All this talk about {mostly} which foreign player is going where, Clubs need to start looking at their academys.
Look at Leeds subs bench..
Give the youngsters more of a chance now....

Agreed and add in “play more homegrown British talent before they become a thing of the past in the so called English premier league “! Happy new year and most important of all be safe in these uncertain times for all .
Hopefully that will be s positive impact of Brexit
When some clubs spend a billion on an academy and only have 1 player to show for it I think it tells you how interested they are in actually using the players it produces on the pitch, they seem much happier hoarding then flogging them in order to fund another superstar.
Poor article Mr McNulty, just more stupid speculation to fill the column inches. Not sure what the point of the BBC 'Gossip Column' is, ridiculous moves touted (why are Arsenal always linked with top players?!) yet no serious football fan will read it as it's poor journalism. Why not have more features on grass roots or lower league football, lots of fans in the UK don't follow the Premier League.
How do you know arsenal are continually linked to top players if you don't read the gossip column?Or are you saying that because you're not a serious football fan you do read it?
More likely to get more women’s premier league than EFL. That’s the way the wind’s blowing.
Come on AB, you don't have to read the gossip if you are not interested?
The BBC Gossip column just quotes other sources. If you want to take issue with ridiculous speculative journalism, then take it up with the source.
You have obviously read it so I take it you are not a serious football fan! ??
Why should the fact it's not true bother you? Football is not based on truth- look at Harry Kane any time he gets in the penalty box and hears someone nearby. Presumably you steer clear of the post-match interviews, too?
Without stating the obvious, the Blades need a miracle and people that can score goals, an average of half a goal per game aint gonna keep anyone up.
I like Chris Wilder too
Ya know what I mean ?

10 outfield players might help?
Relatively pointless article. McNulty has just rehashed the last few days gossip columns. No insight, no thought and no actual journalism. Fans know what their teams need and they know that the 'key players' for their teams are highly unlikely to depart this window. The bottom 5 are in the most need, but they are in the worst position to attract anybody unless stupid money is on the table
May be a pointless article, but this is something all football sites do when the transfer window opens.
Besides what is the alternative to filling this space, another Man Utd article?
Besides what is the alternative to filling this space, another Man Utd article?
pointless and the BBC.........But we are forced to buy a TV licence.
Yes and no. If you were a young talented English guy who wants to play first team football and show what you've got where should you go? Top six club where you'll sit on the bench all season while overpaid foreigners play your position? Or do you go further down the table, perhaps to a struggling club but with first team games a certainty. I know what I'd pick.
Biggest change needed by all clubs is amongst the officiating. It is atrocious and seriously effecting results. Referees don't understand the rules, VAR is a joke.
Diving by the likes of Salah, Mane, Rashford, Fernandes, Sterling etc. must be punished and eliminated.
It does not matter how many good players you have if you get decisions that stink.

Diving is only going to stop once refs start booking more players, but that will never happen as they haven't the balls to do it and the Premier league won't allow it
Diving will only stop when officials give fouls
Look at the examples where players stay on their feet and get nothing - the Ref misses it but VAR state there wasn’t an obvious error
So players fall over under minimal contact to make it obvious

Spurs need to find a bus driver in case the current one is injured.
Doesn't really need a proper driver, just someone who can park it and stick the handbrake on.....
They could share the goodness bus and driver!
Blakey.
So Arsenal need an ageing ex-Spurs player and a Norwich player?
Understatement of the year I think, though perhaps accurate given Arsenal's level at the moment?

Apparently Man U are looking to replace Howard Webb.
There seems to be a lot of candidates.
With those chips on your shoulder you wanna be more worried about whether they've replaced fergie.
Rent free
I remember the time Howard Webb overlooked Balotelli stamping on Scott Parker's head in a game against Spurs. It was 2-2 at the time, Balotelli stayed on, won a penalty and scored it. City won the league on goal difference.
Howard Webb NOT sending off Balotelli won City the league.

Either that or an effective covid vaccine.
So someone help me please. Oxford vaccine is 90% effective IF given as a half does, followed by a full dose. 90% is the figure we are being indoctrinated with by the media.
2 full doses is only 62% effective.
So WHY is it, that only the 62% course is given regulatory approval in the UK? Removed

I agree and more certainly at international level. There is zero point in international friendlies given the situation everyone faces. Too risky all round.

Time for all teams to look at the cost of a ticket - it’s clear they don’t need fans money, so time to reduce the cost. £20 max per ticket would be a good starting point.

I’m not a scientist, Sammy, but as I read it, as a layman, the 90 per cent finding for the two different doses was found by mistake and only involved a comparatively small number of people, possibly not enough to be statistically significant. It may be that that element requires further research?

Will Liverpool will need a replacement for Salah?
If a millionaire decides he 'doesn't like the weather' he moves!
When you combine that with the eye watering pay rise he'll be offered to move 'closer to home', in Spain (Barca or Real) and be warm...it's a done deal!

Hopefully. Should cash in the 150m+ and buy Haaland and a defender with the rest. Too greedy now only interested in boosting his goal scoring tally
He has been a terrific player and is just the right age now to sell on for a decent fee and invest in youth.
Not sure Villa need much...perhaps some stabilizers for Grealish?
Villa are the surprise package of the season, they weren't really good enough to stay up, but they did and to Smith's credit are now playing excellent football; off-load Mings and they could be in Europe next year.

Apparently Man U are looking to replace Howard Webb.
Villa need to boost the squad with a left-back, central defender, holding midfielder, and a central striker. This would give us the strength in depth we currently lack.
We also need to make Barkley's move permanent and buy out the buy back clause on Douglas Luiz.
I doubt much of that will get done in January though.

Villa have spent north of 200 m in last 3 windows, surely squad must be sufficient now or can Dean Smith not manage unless another 100m is spent. And what has happened to ffp
Wouldn’t be surprised to see City activate the buy back clause on Luiz and then try and flog him on for extra profit like they did with Angelino
Is Milner on his way back?
Not sure if Chelsea will get a new striker?
Perhaps Frank should have 'barn doors' printed on the seat covers at each end, apart from immediately behind the goals, to help Werner?
Because he couldn't hit them!

As a Chelsea supporter, unfortunately I can only agree with you?
Germany had been the most successful European international side, they have terrific players scoring lots of goals in their national leagues but it does seem to be the case that very few, if any of the top players from the German league ever make it in this country. Klinsman did but that was thirty years ago.

Silly post. Spurs spent zero for two years and finished 2nd in the PL and reached the CL final, improving no end along the way. Get a decent manager and you don't need to spend. Relatively speaking the players brought in are often no better than those they replace. It's a license to print money for agents.

No it isn't, you are incorrect on this - 62% is for 2 (TWO) full doses. 90% is for 1.5 doses. Look it up.
Season will be postponed soon and maybe abandoned later, so clubs should not buy overpriced targets in January. Wait for the summer when the same players might become much cheaper or the club's priorities become different....
Highly unlikely the League is postponed. The infection rate amongst Premier league teams is far lower than the lowest rates in the UK.
Why will it be postponed?
We're not even half way through the fixture list in The Premier League yet. If there is a circuit breaker that will increase the pile up of fixtures. Then there are cup games to be played and European games to be played. If Man City who have a massive squad can't field a team, then what chance have other clubs got. THE SEASON SHOULD BE ABANDONED!

When football locked down in late March last season , it should have stayed that way until April 2021 . At that point we could have played the remaining 10/12 games of the season off . No teams would have missed out on anything other than what they deserved .

Expected to maybe see some actual discussion on who might come and go for any of the 20 teams only to find it's mostly the same attempted smart a**e jabs at the usual suspects as always even after only 70 comments.
I don't know when we became such a childish nation of fans.

2 full doses is only 62% effective.

Expected to maybe see some actual discussion on who might come and go for any of the 20 teams only to find it's mostly the same attempted smart a**e jabs at the usual suspects as always even after only 70 comments.
I don't know when we became such a childish nation of fans.

So Arsenal need an ageing ex-Spurs player and a Norwich player?
Understatement of the year I think, though perhaps accurate given Arsenal's level at the moment?

Cut and paste article pulled together with minimal effort and zero insight. Come on BBC, when will you finally bite the bullet and appoint a decent football writer?
Given the previously disappointing articles Phil usually posts just before the transfer window I don't know why I expected this to be any different. Rather than being true to the headline and actually analysing who needs a defender, winger, striker, holding midfielder etc, he's simply regurgitated the gossip columns.
To begin with, all the clubs in this division are short on players that can stay on their feet long enough to actually play the game.
Getting some men in men's football would be a good place to start.

Spurs need to find a bus driver in case the current one is injured.
True. In which case Maureen can park the bus, he's clearly an expert.
Ashamed to say I wanted Ollie sacked, like many others I have been proved wrong, hope Ollie is with us for many more years, Come on United !
At chelsea I'd like costa back, as scared the living daylights out of defenders when they won the league. Rice will be a great asset, he'll definitely come as his mates are here, and the lad in germany banging in the goals. He won't come until the summer though
I agree, I think Costa, with his "win at any cost" attitude, would be a great asset for the immediate future - and Erling Braut Haaland would be a phenomenal signing for many years to come.
Costa comes with a lot of baggage though and never an easy personality to handle.
I thought you signed "the lad in germany banging in the goals" last summer?
Reading the 'Gossip' bit each day, it seems Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea (and Real Madrid) are 'interested in taking' every player out there
You mean, all that gossip stuff is actually just... erm... gossip...?
Unfortunately most football fans appear to interpret gossip as fact and are then left bitterly disappointed.
Tell that to Walker, Grealish, Foden, Greenwood and all the other Covidiots
It’s time for this debacle to stop. Transfers should either be one window June to Sept or for the whole season. Preferably the latter to stop this deadline inflation of player values which have frankly got to a point of fantasy land.
I have loved football since I was 3 and 52 years later I am aghast at its greed and have turned further to Rugby Union where sportsmanship is at its heart

WBA dont need any more players. Just 11 rockets. Stuffed up 11 backsides!
Help me please, someone? Oxford vaccine is 90% effective IF given as a half dose, followed by a full dose. 62% effective for 2 full doses..

We also need Fat Sam to spend less time talking to the press and more time talking to his players. I've seen more comments from him in the last week that I saw from Bilic in the whole time he was at The Hawthorns.
Sort out the problems first and then start chatting to everyone who wants to listen.....until then, keep it shut and get the job done.

What players at the clubs need is an effective covid vaccine.

Poor article Mr McNulty, just more stupid speculation to fill the column inches. Not sure what the point of the BBC 'Gossip Column' is, ridiculous moves touted (why are Arsenal always linked with top players?!) yet no serious football fan will read it as it's poor journalism. Why not have more features on grass roots or lower league football, lots of fans in the UK don't follow the Premier League.
Arsenal & Chelsea need a new manager, Brighton & Wolves need a striker, Man City need Messi, Liverpool, Leicester & ManU need a new CB, Burnley, WBA and Newcastle Utd needs new owners and the rest can (or should) wait until summer.
