Fair point.

Nah. Nah?

Honestly fucking hate this bloke. I know he has restrictions to work with, I know Ashley is the 'main problem' but he spouts utter bullshit and Ashley has given him a team that should be pushing for 10th and at least outplaying shit teams like West Brom and Brighton.

Whilst the article is correct in a sense, Ashley's the problem, not Bruce. Who would be happy with slightly better football, but still no intention to compete or improve? This club is so fucked. Ashley is the is the main problem at the club, but we have the players now to at least give it a go. Overall I think our squad is fairly solid and should be pushing for 10th. Saying Ashley is the problem is just giving Bruce a free pass.

This tackle ruined us, we were never the same after this and its what got Robson sacked. Not even exaggerating.

Just wait till the 19th of December where they will look like Bayern.

Villa look a lot better than us now. Going back, would you have wanted Villa to go down and we don't get Fraser and Wilson?

Agent favour

Kante replacement

I'd like to see Hendrick along side Hayden. I know its not great but it could be a bit more solid. I'd even try a 4-3-3 with Slongstaff, Hayden and Hendrick. Ideally a new CM but I think we have such a backlog of shit CMs we wont get one this season.

Fabrizio Romano said he has agreed terms with Leeds, so never mind on that one.

Leeds also want him, so we cant compete.

I'm really annoyed by the pod on the tyne. Waugh sounds like he is trying to give the insight you expect from The Athletic talking about how he used scouting software and Taylor Payne starts laughing about it. This should be a premium podcast with these kind of breakdowns, not some fan chatting shit.

Didnt he go out on loan?

So they will run with Zouma and Thiago Silva at cb?

The 5th place season he and Tiote regularly controlled games over a 3 man midfield In the latter half of that season yeah. A lot of the 5th season we had really jammy wins where we barely deserved it until Cisse came in.

Who is this Fabrizio Romano? Seems to be breaking every deal at this point. Feels like he's the Woj of football.

I feel he didnt control a midfield as much as he should have. Whether thats on him or Pardew is another thing though.

Werner has the potential to bang in 25+ this season. I'm not sure what to do about Ziyech and Havertz or how Chelsea are going to line up.

It looks decent but I can see Bruce not playing that line up for some odd reason.

I bet he turns out to be fucking class if he doesnt sign.

I'd rather he stayed tbh.

Glad we have another England international to complain about when he doesn't get selected.

Better goal to game ratio as Joey and is a CM

Just sign Deeney on a free and loan the lad out.
