Wijnaldum was our 15/16 season equivalent of Michael Owen. I passionately despise him

Lee Ryder just sued you for plagiarism

Im not worried about that, I think Howe will have evolved us further by the time the season starts. think we’ll be a bit like Leicester catch everyone by surprise - although this time don’t have the fortune of Spurs being the second best team that year.

perhaps I’m being bullish, but those that are saying things like 9-13 are for some reason weirdly concluding that Howe and the squad are going to somehow become much worse.

4 to 8 we are only a couple of signings away from being able to challenge for 3rd if we have a fair wind behind us

Burnley have 3 goalkeepers and only 16 players so they won’t go there

obviously Haaland who they got for about half his real value

I feel like we’ve never really signed a first choice goalkeeper since the mid-90s. obviously we have signed goalkeepers but the way they have ended up in the team has been a bit drawn out.

It’s not the suit, I would just want someone really boring looking handling my contracts and not somebody who looks so vain and self obsessed

If I was a footballer I’d want my agent to look more like Chris Mort and less like the flashy type Ekitike has, does that type of agent even exist?

Completely not bothered if he stays or goes. he wouldn’t survive this season as our first choice

Me

Maybe send Joe Kinnear to confuse everyone about € and £

Would mean we have only signed one player, manager, or coach since takeover who hasn’t been employed by BURNley or got the letters B U R N in their name.

I’d put Man Utd as an outside bet for relegation presently

Burnley fan at work says they have 4 keepers in a 17 man squad so they won’t want Darlow

I heard we are looking at Iranmon as an alternative

I think this thread has now reached the shark jumping point with bad puns and discussion about Scottish politics. only a matter of time before someone suggests we lock this thread.

August could go very well or very badly with away games at Brighton and Wolves at a time of the season where if I recall right from previous years they have been in their best form.

first time that has happened for a while
