  1. Schar and Fernandez out Jones and Cahill in. Sorted.
  2. Mackems taking Daniel Jebbison on loan from Sheffield United. He looked decent in his debut games. Shame.
  3. Wouldn't be surprised they were all over him, Ashley and the premier league on the "stream" I watched a bit of. Deserved extension after taking down Burton.
  4. Considing the youth and experience the tournament has been a huge success for the US. Might have been ugly at times but it's a win culture and the team has found its way to the win one way or another irrespective of whether they were the better team. The investment in the MLS and production of youth is paying off. Large depth now that is only growing and only a matter of time until real world class game changers un-earthed dominate the team to a point players can be picked on form, not just talent and injuries are less of an issue. Likewise Canada with 8-10 first teasers missing. The program is two decades behind with the CPL but it will only continue to improve. WCQ will be tasty.
  5. Makes zero sense like everything else at this club under Ashley. Can't wait for the "reluctant to sack Bruce after handing him a new contract" excuses come November when we are bottom and Bruce is flailing around on the touch line like a fish on the pavement.
  6. Only in Concacaf can you punish Mexico for repeated homaphobic chants by their fans by giving them a 5 minute break to recover after they were against the ropes. Tough loss for Canada who were the better team in the second half. WCQ in September is going to be fun. Back to the chants. Until they dock points or forfeit games it won't stop. They got a warning in the first half and then the stoppage of the game in the second. They have already been warned and fined. Closed doors games with fans banned means nothing coming out of lock down. There has to be zero tolerance. Nothing will happen. *another plug for this guy. He is going to be a steal for someone
  7. Totally agree on the need of an upgrade on Carroll and Gayle plus Joelinton can't be relied on. However if above they are more likely to promote Tom Allan.
  8. That's optimistic. We will be lucky to get Danny Drinkwater. Hasn't he been terrible the last two seasons? Not convinced he is any better than Gayle.
  9. Targeting. Our accuracy.
  10. Lets be honest take Newcastle away and any other shit excuses like the above. He is a shit Steve McClaren. It's far more an insult to Schtevie than it is Steve. A career as good as McClarens is the stuff of dreams for Brucie.

    Joe Willock

    Hendrick is in scoring form now. We will be just fine.
  12. It is like the Rose signing. They are name enough and "British" enough to placate and abate lots of our fanbase that remembers them being good.
  13. Not cool but hopefully getting oxygen and being treated will help avoid him getting long covid and worse than it could be. All the best to him. Looks like Woodman will start the season.
  14. Add 2 decent new central midfielders, an upgrade at LB and RB and a new manager..we might even be alright.
  15. He wasn't heavily linked and chased by Liverpool for no reason. It is just no surprise he has gone backwards under a regime that gleefully throws players in the deep end with zero direction, tactics or support to actually grow or improve.
  16. While this is garbage.. I...want..to...believe...
  17. So.. - Lemina turns us down for Nice - Cameron Vickers turns us down for Celtic. - Ajer goes to Bournemouth - We wont spend on willock and Arsenal will wait until the window closes. - We wont spend on random swedish players. Summer is going well as normal. Did see us linked to Barkley again. He has more sense though.
  18. Probably coming in because we are flogging Hayden.
  19. He looked dodgy after the major injury but that is hardly surprising given the layoff. He clearly had class and good vision. Certainly no less of a liability than Clark or to be fair any of our backline that all have their brainfart moments. Literally zero need to get rid of him other than the fact he isn't a Brucee grafting acolyte.
  20. Literally no idea. Can he be worse than what we have?
  21. Qatar are basically Brazil's D side arent they? Jamaica will be a tough challenge especially if the states play the same way they did against Canada. Jamaica had a good start and have been downhill but they have some strong dangerous players. Canada vs Costa rica will be a good test for both probably a step too far for Canada with all the injuries. Mexico will stroll to the cup as usual. Unfortunatley, yet again Concacaf leads the way with the worst officiating in FIFA. Even the VAR is. Doesn't matter how good the teams might get with picking up repats (it is definitely improving), it will always be hamstrung and a joke with the standard of officiating. It has to change.
  22. I doubt it, they were prepared to press through whether we were relegated or not this year. Don't think they will change course.
