They’ve got a patched up defence, a centre midfielder playing at CB and a full back on a booking and we managed 3 fucking goal attempts. This midfield needs a drastic overhaul.

Tielemans is an annoying cunt tbh.

Maddison has bought that but Lascelles let’s him.

Hayden in for Willock ASAP for me.

So what, we have Hendrick.

Willock is fucking shite.

Rafa for me lyk.

I’d rather we didn’t sign him tbh. Smacks of a Nicky Butt/Joe Willock combo I.e: Man Utd reject and a bit vein of form last year masking what he’ll actually end up being for us, week in/week out. Definitely a no for me.

He wasn't even getting games by the time Rafa was ending his reign though was he? I got the distinct impression that he'd have been binned off in that pre-season along with Ritchie if Rafa had of stayed.

'It was an international break, what was I supposed to do?' Said Bruce.....

Fuck him. Hope they fire the cunt out of a rocket off the tyne bridge tbh.

If there's no talk of purples then, in all honesty, I'm probably out.

If he didn't interupt the interviewer midway through every question, we should just fuck him off now tbh.

Shame they didn't get smacked with a pair of sixes. Might've sorted their hideous beaks out.

Urgh. Not Martinez man FFS.

Hope he gets sunburnt on his feet.

Ah thanks - that wasn't the original article but is along similar lines.

I read an article last year (can't remember where, I was sure it was the Athletic but can't find it now so perhaps the Times) where he explained the Burnley 'failure' thing and it wasn't actual homesickness that caused his issues, his mother was seriously ill and eventually passed away. He was commuting between the two places and couldn't cope with the mental torment without his family around him. He said in the same article that he doesn't see this as an issue for him going forwards (working away from the south coast).

Speaks far better than the cabbage.

He'd also bring that annoying little runt Jody Morris with him so that's another tick in the 'No' column imho.

I wouldn't want Lampard at all. The uplift when Tuchel arrived and used the exact same players would frighten the life out of me if I owned a club and was considering appointing Lampard. When a proper top manager arrives, he essentially increases the output by like 200%. That alone should kill Lampards managerial career or, as a minimum, fire him all the way down to L1/L2 to learn the trade properly and not get roles based upon his surname/playing career.

Yeah, get fucked Allan.

'Here Luke, I've not had me payoot just yet, any chance yer can stick oot an article saying that things are tekking a turrrn for the worse like Son?'

Strange that the other 19 clubs didn't have any issues with the Burnley takeover which was leveraged to fuck and completely innappropriate. Then again, they're no threat....................................How strange indeed.

My strong preference would be that we buy 3/4 'proven' PL Players such as JWP etc and then augment that with lots of players with potential such as Bellingham before he went to BVB.
