Talk of Arsenal selling Turner to Forest so guess Raya to compete with Ramsdale/be number two.

Understand the reasons for the sale and didn’t ever feel like a fit for an Eddie Howe team but still sad to see him go. Loved him. Fully embraced the region and was one of those players I love to watch, you can sense the expectation and electricity around the ground when he has the ball, always had people on the edge of their seats, wish him all the best and hope he flourishes.

They have signed some decent players but think they will really miss the impact and leadership (not so much the football ability these days) on the group that Henderson, Milner and even Fabinho have.

Aye, got the same about an hour ago. All seems a bit last minute, having already renewed existing seats.

Would be a good signing and think Eddie would take him to another level which is exciting. Also, with the allowance of five subs and the intensity we play at, having great quality on the bench is huge, we can change almost half the side and ramp up the press and intensity even more and play that way for the full 90.

This years relegation kit.

Was about to say the same!

Unless you are wearing the super hyped Tiffany & Co collabs!

As a club PSG are all over the place, winning the league is a given and the least they expect. His failings came in Europe and they struggled at times in the League. They seem to be trying to abandon their galactico policy and want to move to a squad filled with young French players, but have already sold or moved on some of the best young French players. All a bit of a mess really and lots of confused ideas and thinking. Galtier had his playing ideas which wasn't helped by having to accommodate Mbappe, Messi and Neymar, when fit. And aye, he's also supposedly a massive racist.

The Pomegranate & Orange is next level!

On the subject of DH Gate, has anybody bought a retro/Asics shirt from there with Asics logo on it, and was it any good, any recommended sellers?

50m, Hahahaha. We don’t want to buy the club, just the promising full back who hasnt played in a year because of serious injury. So greedy!

The journos have been given a look at Ashworths FM save and wonderkids shortlist!

I hate how Arsenal go on, they make everything public, we want to buy Rice, the selling club are very clear, 100m is the price, then Arsenal bid 70m, then 80m, then 90m, so so tiring. They would always do it during the Wenger years too, player is 25m, Arsenal bid 4m. Zzzzzzzzz.

To the outsiders the O'Neill sacking seems harsh but dig a little deeper and most Bournemouth fans have been less than convinced by him for sometime. The owner seems to be putting money in. and making signings and fair play if he has bigger ambitions than Gary O'Neill. The other story, doesn't seem worded like it's a Manager, more a club owner, and the still living dildo brother was seen leaving a police station with his lawyer recently, and historically (as is suggested) owned a Midlands club.

The saving on Alba and Busquets wages, I read Alba was supposedly on 291k per week. And of course, those levers!

So much to unpack with stuff like this, the window isn't officially open, much of the noise will be journalists or wannabe itk's trying to get clicks and attention, and whilst I've never been overly impressed with McTominay, I can see past that and see how he fits the system we have, how his skillset fits with what we have and how we play, we can't just fill the team with flair and creation, there needs to be industry and graft too. In relation to Eddie spunking 30-40 million, I think he, his staff and the scouting team probably have better judgement and understanding of whats needed to progress than Bazro136.

Agree, super-talented, have seen a lot of him, I always get the feeling he is just slightly off the pace of the English game, playing at his own pace, coupled with him being shoe horned into unsuitable roles, as in, they keep trying him as a 9 which he really isn't, or a wide forward, again, not really his game. Think Spain would really suit his game, with the caveat that he isn't thrown in as a 9, and used more as a 10/link player. He doesn't seem to like to receive the ball with his back to goal and looks awkward doing so, and looks most comfortable running from deeper and ghosting in. Top player though.

Player of the Season: Joelinton Most Improved Player of the Season: Longstaff, Miggy and Murphy so close too. Most Disappointing Player: Fraser, showed glimpses last season of being useful, also thought Shelvey might contribute positively this season (some might say he did by leaving!) Signing of the Season: Isak, with Botman super close. Goal of the Season: Miggy vs Fulham, just outrageous. Assist of the season: Willock vs Spurs for Isak, pure filth, and Isak vs Everton, oh my word. Game of the Season: Spurs (H) / Man Utd (H) / Brighton (H) as we looked and felt so dominant despite the added pressure. Also, Leicester away after the restart, straight back to business as usual, and West Ham away, pumping them in their own stadium is always fun. Moment of the Season: Walking along Wembley Way, been too long! Manager rating out of 10: 9.5, might be harsh, but some of the draws should and could have been wins and the League Cup Final. But, love Eddie and his team, feels the perfect fit, at the perfect time, Keegan vibes but with a more steely and serious edge, going to be an absolute legend. Season rating out of 10: 9.5, same reason as above.

Gargle tcp (dilute with warm water), its rank and you’ll smell super medical but works!

I find the most grating thing about the DJ, the ridiculous amount of time he takes with the birthday shouts at half-time, one recent game, he went on and on and on, was actually quite funny, as if he was never going to stop and might continue whilst the second-half continued!

Understandable, all had that feeling!

I watched him very closely and he showed plenty of promise, some nice touches, good pace, and eager to drive forward, I think a work in progress and a player that 12 months from now will be of real value to the side once Eddie has really had time to develop him. His decision making seemed to be the thing letting him down, a few times Isak and Willock were less than impressed by his choices but this is something that will improve with elite coaching. One thing I was watching, was his body language and general demeanour, he didn't seem happy and often looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. I think as fans we often take it for granted that a player arrives and should instantly be perfect, that's how it works on FM! We overlook the other factors that contribute to a player, such as moving away (yes, not a million miles from home), but still, a young lad moving away, to new surroundings having left his home town in slightly acrimonious circumstances must have an effect mentally, the hefty price tag, the eagerness to impress, there are many factors to this beyond just the obvious footballing ability. He needs some time, a full pre-season and once he is fully settled and more comfortable in his surroundings he will begin to flourish.

I lived in Brentford for a short while, this view isn't limited to the football team!

Been decent the past few seasons in Spain, deserved call-up.
