Norwich, Wednesday, and Leeds all in the league next, Hull in September as well. Ah, remember when we were in that league. Nice at first and horrific once you realised there were still 30 games left of it in may.

In Wales where they have put fucking Rugby on instead, guessing Steele doesn't have the metal for this ?

How's readytomelt looking ?

Easy league tbh

Yip, mine turned up as well, renewal

Maddening. I can't remember the last time we tried to outplay the opposition, or attack for that matter prior to Rafa. We just did nothing. Have these people not even watched any of our games. We literally just made up the numbers for years and years. As for attacking football, I am happy to just be balanced and not get hammered all the time

Watching today it's clear a decent attacking midfielder and striker would lift is a few levels. We can create chances and have decent passing players with good pace on wings but need that link up man and a alternative to Gayle if we don't want a relegation battle. I think we look a lot more balanced than the last time we were up and certainly stronger on wings and in defence, we are a lot more physical and actually have height within the team compared to our previous midfield and centre halves. I would love a left back as well, because Dummet is looking shocking

Na, we will sign at least 3 with a Keeper and Striker.

For some unknown reason I am reasonably confident we will sign a few decent players and the new lads will turn out decent. I'm even thinking we may have a reasonable and respectable season.

It'll cost someone a lot of blowies that's for sure #daretocream

You mean babies? I was thinking that when I saw it [emoji3]

I mean wow, they are really going for it. Mid table at best for these

Aye the likes of Riviere, Good and Haidara we should just let them go for free if necessary as long as we don't have to pay them off as obviously that would clear a big chunk off the wage bill. The example given was Colback above but I doubt we have even put him up for sale, I think Rafa likes him in his squad, or serves a purpose in his mind at this time.

Colback features in say 15 league games (as part of a rotation, or due to injury/s) that will cost us points. I prefer to look at the prizemoney situation for where the team finishes how much £ is lost with each position the team slips - due to the Colback Factor. Always maintained that the immediate blow to Ashley's precious balance sheets, by paying off Colback's contract and releasing him, would be offset & partially absorbed by a higher league placing and associated increase in prize money. But Rafa could just banish them to the academy / farm out on loan rather than pay them all up in one big chunk. Paying them off does not help us but players, we need them off the wage bill and I guess it reduces opex costs but I don't know how it's spread if we agree to pay up or if it's all out of capex which is probably an issue for us at the moment

Is this the new SNWOAT thread ? Being offered blowies for players signing, women's deodorant and sticky pages it's gone very modern all of a sudden

Is he better that Mitrovic, Riviere and Murphy?

They tried to ask Darren/Darron but he was still p*ssed as a fart like He just said "do what ya like pal"

Seen enough to realise he will never improve, will be better out there for the money we fetch for him

Aye, I do think that challenge knocked him but don't think he ever looked like he would be good enough anyway. More hope than anything.

No spitting Of all the caveats, you'd have to go for no teeth first surely. Bit of grating is acceptable http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/11500000/Blackadder-the-Third-hugh-laurie-11589570-305-244.gif I think this will be my favourite transfer since my wife gave up on me. Can't wait, hope they don't drag it out too long

Rafa clearly wants De Jong given he's played every game ?

Players no longer dictate and he just ruthlessly changes it when required. Been needed for a long time and all the players know they have to step it up to stay at the club, no free rides anymore
