Some may have had the “ a team that tries” mantra but for most when PIF came in with massive resources the expectations adjusted and why shouldn’t they based on what the Chairman has said in interviews to Saudi media about a team challenging for the biggest honours.

Gordon looks a great addition but what we needed was a ball playing CM which we don’t have aside from Bruno. Appreciate opportunism came into my play with his situation at Everton. Without Bruno we didn’t move the ball around well and not bringing someone in who can do similar may cost us and it obvious to everyone that we needed another cm even before Bruno’s suspension.

Gotta admit we’ve gone off the boil lately and had an opportunity to strengthen for a push for a champions league place but didn’t take it. Gain that CL place makes us attractive to elite players, sign those players then success follows. Being conservative, being afraid of FFP implications may cost us in the long run.

Got to beat Bournemouth.

Bollocks Kane scores.

Need City to do us a favour.

That Danilo for Forest looks pretty rubbish, though he was highly rated. Stray passes etc.

Thought Wilson would score there.

The mistake wasn’t getting rid of him, it was not replacing him.

Team needed freshening up window just gone, aside from Bruno G the rest aren’t brilliant passers. I can’t believe on loan with a significant loan fee there wasn’t a midfielder sat on some CL clubs bench that wouldn’t have joined us.

Big Joes done the same a few times as well.

Bollocks been shit for the last 10-15 mins.

Wilson

9 points clear of Chelsea with game in hand. If we beat West Ham and City beat spurs we’ll be 6 points clear with game in hand on the fifth placed team.

Good result.

What do I know about value of anything, paid top whack for my house just before the market turned?

Fulham signed for £20m, reckon £35m as he’ll be 28 in a few months.

Wouldn’t mind if we went for Joao Palinha in the summer.

Moved on players who don’t have long term futures I.e. Wood, Shelvey, Darlow. Gordon can play attacking midfielder so could be argued he covers Shelvey and as he can play wing allows ASM to play as a third choice striker if needed but would have to be really unlucky for Wilson and Isak to be injured at the same time. Ashby for the future. Overall squad improvement but could have been better. 5/10.

If we get champions league then we’ll have more pull with quality out of contract players. We need to pad out the squad as a number of current players contracts are expiring. Would take Tielemans, Thurman, N’dika, Kamada, and Grimaldi from this list. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/statistik/endendevertraege edit: Would take Laimer as well.

Bruno needs to calm down.

Prime Barca esq.

He’s waiting to the summer and will weigh up his options not realistic right now. We need a squad and Gordon would push Murphy down the pecking order. An overall squad improvement.

Lol Murphy

Fucknoff fenton moment.
