I don’t think we gave up, we just couldn’t recover as much as we wanted.

Looks better on than hanging as usual. Long sleeve on Barnes is interesting.

There’s been a dramatic decline in fan quality over this season

But that would be nonsense. And even it was true, it would be football and absolutely no reason to leave the club.

Exactly, that's the reason we paid the big money, we were buying guaranteed goals and assists (lol).

I'm in favour of cheaper and smarter singings of course, we've just always said that the south coast spreadsheet clubs have a league position ceiling that we have higher ambitions than. So we either need some of these signings to really blow up or we need to also shop in a higher bracket at the same time. Or (again) we need to be patient with our progress up the table.

There’s no way he’s for sale.

Yeah, as much as I like these signings, we would potentially be looking at a clear downgrade of our ambitions in the short term. I'd hope we can have a baseline of these signings and still add a couple of players who will lift the quality as well.

Which leg do you get for £50m? Not the left.

I mean, obviously he's unhappy at the end of the season, it was rubbish for him and he didn't make the World Cup. It's not surprising.

I think we just need to be technically better rather than necessarily have higher possession percentage. So that we don't make so many errors, invite so much pressure on ourselves and waste so many good opportunities.

Yeah, it's parallel universe stuff TBH. He was taken out for a couple of games, there's no sense in which Burn has "overtaken him" at LB. There's a 100% chance he will start the new season at LB.

I don't want Munoz just because he looks like a cross between Anthony Gordon and Jack Colback.

Do we want a player from the PL?

I mean, the whole business of transfer rumours is just pick a player then list 3-5 random clubs who might want to buy them.

Fairwell, sweet prince. Brownie points for Wilson/Howe for not buying this lad.

Well that cheered me up.

I hope he’s having a week or two like. He needs it.

I struggle to understand how we’re a sinking ship. Aren’t we just a normal sailing ship that has hit a bit of bad weather?

How good is Jonathan David? Always sounds like someone people have just signed on FIFA for the last 7 years.

Not sure a true or false thing can be wide of mark, it either happened or it’s made up

I was thinking equal spending limits that aren't based on income.

Every club having the same budget is really the only fair way. Along with some measures to make sure they aren’t risking the future of the club, like proven funds to back up spending or funds being put in a certain account etc. It’s basing it on current income at an arbitrary point in time that locks in the advantage of the existing top clubs. I mean, not sure there really is a good solution since even a budget gap disadvantages the teams that can’t/won’t spend up to the cap. Guess it depends if we’re looking at financial sustainability or just pure sporting fairness.

Yeah, absolutely can’t happen. Hall and Bruno must be retained at all costs.
