Would have taken 4 points from Watford and Leeds.

Where are those "we will get beat 4-0", lads now? Keep faith with Eddie's mags.

I think you are a kid if you are deliberately being overly negative to get a rise out of people. I wasn't referring to you either. For example; "Shelvey starts, oh wey thats us getting beat 8-0!" It's like a creche at times. In no world were Shelvey and Lascelles not starting. If anyone wants an analytical conversation about team, tactics, howe etc, go for it but if you come on and make one liners which serve no purpose than to show everyone what a negative attitude you may have, don't expect me to keep quiet.

Willock is a much better bet to support Wood FWIW.

Pretty much the team I expected. We need Willock to show up.

You can tell its a Saturday. Kids off school.

Everton are in massive trouble. Can't buy a win. Bad attitude. Losing their better players. They actually have a terrible squad too. DCL is needed, if he can find his way from the cat walk. They are massively lucky to have points on the board.

Like the look of this guy. Also with one eye on the championship, hopefully he's the sort of age where he will be prepared to take a year down there.

Wonder how much we are getting for this.

Dubravka Schar Lascelles Dummett Trippier Lewis Shelvey Wllock Joelinton ASM Wood Get someone playing next to wood. Cut off all space in the centre. Rely on either a counter with ASM or set piece/cross for Wood.

Seems strange that Staveley is going. Surely it will make completing transfers even harder? I know its a team effort but it's just another hindrance having her a few thousand miles away.

The Zapata link just doesn't feel right.

The last week is going to be absolute carnage. I'm certain we will get at least 3 more in, of what standard I'm not sure. Combine that with news of outgoings and near misses... its going to be fun, or disastrous depending on your viewpoint.

It's actually a really great shout. Both our keepers have been shite. Would be easy to ship out a keeper or two. Reckon Leno would be up for the championship if needs be.

Leno would be a great signing.

I reckon a 6m loan deal would probably do the job. Once he is here, we can dangle whatever carrot we want, for a permanent summer move.

Mind you, it's very hard to remind yourself of this when week after week we are getting poor results.

I keep finding myself getting frustrated with transfers, the ups and downs of the Carlos deal for example. Then I give myself a step back and look at the bigger picture. We have our club back, we have ambition back. Worst case scenario is that we drop down to the championship, whereby we assemble the most expensive and best squad the championship has ever seen and we (hopefully) come straight back up. It's annoying, it's frustrating and there are short term circumstances which are holding us back but it's temporary.

FM2022 not out yet?

His Instagram post pretty much confirms to me that he has asked to leave. The question is whether Sevilla would rather have a good player who is unhappy or a gap in their defence but with a wallet full of money.

He clearly wants the move. Just wish Sevilla weren't such cunts.

What a shit show. Not bothered about losing out on good players but I will be annoyed if we don't have other negotiations running concurrently. Surely, at this stage, 25m on Tarkowski would be a smart move? Burnley couldn't turn that down and we would instantly improve.

Kaveh saying we have put in another bid for him. Assuming what I was watching was live and not a re run.

Reckon this Bakker could be the other signing they were close on?
