Had that yer Arsenal c*nts Delighted with that tbh. Can we have an early season Arteta and fan meltdown as well?

Palace for 8-10th Or not. But that seems to be the mood, and where the press and other fans seem to have us now.

Utter shite. It's not so much that I reckon we'll finish around 7-9th that troubles me, but that our ineptness risks the loss of some wonderful players next year who'll view this season as not just standing still, but regressing relative to the competition. Lack of progress on stadium and training ground are also deeply concerning.

Think they'll do us over unfortunately.

There's probably four players we can discount from being much use this season - Botman, Lascelles, Wilson and Willock. If we lose Isak, Schar, Gordon or Pope for any sustained period, we're deeply in the shit.

So judge the last few weeks in 2031.

Chalohab will probably want to stay in London to be fair, and Chelsea will see us as a potential rival for a European spot.

Honestly what's the point in us low balling. Wasting our time and Forest's. Complete shambles.

Total bollocks. More chance of Gordon being helicoptered to Liverpool tonight.

Doubt both Botman and Lascelles will be effective at any point this season due to severity of injuries. Gonna be disastrous if we start leaking goals again - never mind struggling to play from the back.

Buy Sancho for £15m, sell him to a Chelsea group club for £30m in January window, then sister club loans him back to Chelsea and covers half his salary.,

If we don't reach a cup final and/or finish top 6, they deserver to be playing elsewhere.

Almost as annoying as not signing anyone, is that I've wasted countless hours at work checking this forum, Sky Sports or any other sources constantly.

Registering for that. So small time

Don't think those are unreasonable questions. As hard as it is to accept, to rules that are essentially designed to stifle growing clubs will likely leave us on the fringes of Europa League season after season, not Champions League. Maybe the owners heave realised that too - thus infrastructure (ground, training) spending has been suspended.

Can't say I'm reassured. If his thigh muscle can almost pop after only a couple of sprints, his body isn't really cut out for the top level game.

I'm comparing relative to the same point in the season last year.

In reality we're weakened in defence, with no Botman or his backup, Lascelles.

8 game just to progress to last 16? Jesus. Sounds like the bigger clubs are going to earn an extra £20-30m each as well.

We've just lost Willock again for what's likely to be many weeks, Miley picked up a freak injury prior to the season even starting and is still some way off returning, our two CBs remain long-term wounded, and then there's Wilson... We're arguably already experiencing a minor injury crisis. Just takes one or two more to drop and we'll have big problems.

Can we rename this thread NUFC Transfer Farce?

Could possibly add Lascelles and Willock to that as well

Let's just see what January brings eh
