The dirty, dirty nonce.

Hope said he had been back but picked up a knock.

Paqueta and a winger who can cover ST would be some end to the window, like. We’d be looking at Bellamy/Robert levels of attacking transformation.

Back on the pitch today, season only four weeks away. We’ll be starting a campaign at peak fitness, with a stronger squad, and an actual tactical plan for the first time in years. The improvements to the training ground won’t be too long in coming thereafter, you’d imagine. Generally loads to be happy and positive about. Howay the fucking lads.

I loved Dubs when he first came, but he has tailed off a fair bit in terms of everything that made him so impactful in his early days. There aren't too many positions I'd have been looking to upgrade before GK this summer, and I do think Pope will be a noticeable improvement in a lot of key areas. Suppose only time will tell, but £10M for a current England squad member who's still relatively "young" in his position surely can't be seen as a bad deal/a waste because it might move Dubravka to the exit door?

People just casually ignoring that we switched to 4-2-3-1 mid-game more than once at the back end of last season.

You're all making me like Adam P, please stop.

...but what if he's an improvement on Dubravka?

You got shares in this lot, or something?

Think "we should be all over that" is my new favourite transfer saying.

I'd love a little rat like that in our team, but seems like no dice. Think someone else said it best, but I think it's clear we're full steam ahead with getting a winger in and have put plenty of enquiries out this week. Howe's had one look at Miggy, Fraser, and Murphy and thought "fuck that". (Not really)

That’s two.

People are fucking mental.

At least you're not bitter about it, eh?

Think he'd be loved here, mind.

Still gutted we strengthened them so much, tbh.

In-person, I meant.

Canny queue at the box office this morning, fair fucks.

Aye, too steep that like.

Broja surely only plays if Wilson is injured or out of form, doesn’t he? Would he/Chelsea go for that after a season where he played almost every game?

Get to fuck.

He is as much of an un-athletic slug as Bruno tbf.

Aye, Dan King is proper decent these days. Whoever that kid is, not at all decent. I groan every time it's him doing the interviews
