Ronaldo

Get him signed. Those stats since 2019 are outrageous, mind.

What a guy.

I give my respect to you.

How do you know all this?

Where the fuck would he fit in? Not even taking into account the fact he’s basically been shit since leaving us 4 years ago and is 30 next month. We’re bigger than submitting to nostalgia now.

Butt, Geremi, Colback, Smith in that order.

Replaced the utterly shit liability Alan Smith which we can all be eternally grateful for.

True. A mediocre keeper like Dubravka at number 2 is winning when you look at the rubbish the likes of Chelsea have there.

That was absurd. I don’t think it was half the forum, mind. And it’s worth saying Dubravka was overrated on here, as goalkeepers often are because your typical fan doesn’t appreciate that the difference between an average / decent keeper and a very good one at PL level isn’t making flashy saves that keep the scoreline down. Darlow is a great case in point. A mess of a keeper who makes Hollywood saves in amongst being an utter liability with decision making.

Think Burnley want to play football now.

Am I the only who gets a bit pissed off with the ‘top 10 would’ve been a good season’ tripe? We finished 11th last season purely on the basis of a top 4 (38 points I think) second half of the campaign, and strengthened the squad significantly in 2022. 9th or 10th would’ve represented regression.

Yeah. He plays 2 roles in one for us. Very difficult to replace that. Our best CB and clearly not going anywhere.

Gnonto is a real talent.

Great season. Go get that LB, RW and Maddison.

Nah. I love him and appreciate his fantastic efforts but this is him. He had an unbelievable first half of the season and can be very proud but it’s over for him as a regular starter here.

Karius maybe. The others no.

Eh? The general media overrate him if anything. He’s been very good for his first season admittedly.

A genuinely sensible / intelligent post.

4 games of Isak and Wilson together in the starting Xl and 1 goal from open play between them. It really doesn’t work starting them both, namely because one of them can’t come off the bench. We need to build them team around Isak centrally. Callum will get plenty of game time next season but he absolutely cannot be the main man.

Incredible achievement. There’s a lot of work to be done to evolve into a squad capable of competing in Europe as well as the PL but hopefully this is the trajectory turner.

Schar. Pope and Jo with honourable mentions.

Just need to keep our shape and keep testing them.

Kanji from here met him in Florida and said he was a very sound bloke too. It’s a pass or fail mentality with Souness. You’re either, at face value, worthy of his respect, trust and support or you’re not. Which obviously isn’t the way to manage anyone, let alone millionaire footballers. A big reason he failed - in addition to being tactically only marginally ahead of Steve Bruce.

I highly doubt we’ll see Gordon, Anderson and Miley.
