Plus he had to have surgery in the summer as well.

The way Pope’s shoulder went during a routine save for the 2nd time, I’ve got my doubts about his durability going forward.

Well they've never been one to sell their major assets in any venture. Also this club bluffs a lot these days, so saying we need to sell to buy could just be a negotiating tactic.

WBA should've scored 5 by now. The amount of chances they're missing is insane.

Don't worry. We won't compete. We've got fans who don't want to even consider moving a few hundred yards into Castle Leazes for a new stadium because SJP is our spiritual home. We're going to keep the dinosaur-age East Stand for the forseeable future.

WBA should have equalised. Just missed an absolute sitter.

When you can't sign Bruno or Isak, just join the club they're already at as DOF.

9 Competitive games until this Italian maestro can play again.

Yeah totally, and I'm optimistic. Just, we've not really seen them in that kind of dilemma yet. Most of the original talk was about how the club needs to sell to finance other signings, so it's just interesting how lately the conversation has moved on to release clauses and 'can we keep him happy here?'. Like I said, hopefully what I was saying ends up being totally irrelevant, but it's always worth keeping in mind.

That makes sense

They are doing it in response to an Arsenal account asking who their fans would prefer out of Isak or Bruno.

Where's the Twitter bullshit thread?

Well the issue is you have to sell high. Selling Yohan Kebabs for pennies wasn't the one.

1-1 HT. Looked like a pen for Aberdeen just before the break. Think I reluctantly need anybody but Aberdeen to win the cup so my Scottish team, St Mirren have a chance of Europe. Currently 5th going into the post split fixtures.

"Hello? Yes we need as much money as we can get for the Premier League. Saudi billions? No that's too much."

This club, but not this regime (so far).

I was thinking the same.

Paying much attention to this kind of chat gives no benefit whatsoever. The club probably has made a gentlemen's agreement with Bruno, because we're (apparently) run by gentlemen and Bruno's a gentleman. He probably doesn't want to feel trapped here and is more likely to want to voluntarily stay if we don't set ourselves up to look like a prison which would hang his career out to dry even if we're finishing bottom half. All the same it doesn't mean any particular outcome is inevitable. On a separate note - and I hope this warning never ends up being necessary - people would be wise to remember our club has a rich history of anonymously trashing a player's character when it wants to sell them but doesn't want to be held responsible by the fans for their departure. "Greedy cunts" etc. Don't let yourselves be taken for mugs, think about who benefits from stories.

Who can afford to pay decent money for ESR though? The clubs who will be interested can't splash out because of FFP.

90 Min, must be true.

Don’t like that

1-0 Leicester

Leicester look dire. WBA could be 0-3 up already.
