Rafa begs the board for a striker, they compromise by getting a League One striker whose contract ends in June. I can totally see us going for that.

I'm even less optimistic after that 'letter'. Such an obviously concocted PR strategy that will oh-so-coincidentally have a Feb 1st twist. What a shock.

And he'll be back up to Wilson and King? So strange.

And it's right up Ashley's street, what with his contract expiring....

While we're losing at Chelsea, there's also Burnley v Fulham and Cardiff v Huddersfield. So it won't be long until we're in the bottom three.

The sad thing is that our squad probably can't handle reaching the 4th round.

ANOTHER Wan-Bissaka clean sheet benched.... backed the wrong defence in that game

That's the hope. I say 'hope', even if he does sanction a couple of loans it just delays the inevitable and prolongs the misery.

Just a gut feeling that we'll go down, like. We're solid and generally defend well but we still lose. The results of the past few days have killed us, the only potential positive is that it may panic the club into some transfers. But of course not, what a silly suggestion :lol:

Not bad so far, but you'd still expect Man United to find a way through. We peaked with that short blitz earlier on.

Been wanting a left back for years but, right now, we shouldn't bother. The midfield/forward issues are massive and we know that only one or two players will come in.

Not only is he not very good, he really doesn't want to sign for Cardiff

Garry Cook just been spotted at Greggs, Northumberland Street.

He's off to France for either Nantes or Nancy.

Following on from Pogba's haul, in came Aubameyang and Jimenez for Rashford and Mitrovic. Good start for the captain.

Hello to 2019, Mike Ashley is still the biggest piece of shit. Scum.

I'd say hopefully that keeps them away from Almiron but we're clearly very capable of messing it up ourselves.

Funny until Ashley finds out and sacks the poor bloke. Happy New Year, you're fired

Pogba and Rashford!!! Mo who?

And about to face Chelsea, Man Utd, Spurs and Man City.

6 isn't an overreaction and the situation has changed a lot.

In 24hrs it's gone from a comfortable gap to congestion - horrific scenario when we're about to have this run of games. 75th min yesterday - 3 Now - 6

Oh fuck, we're in trouble after this weekend. A world apart from 80 mins yesterday.

Yeah, the theory makes sense to us but 'speculate to accumulate' also makes sense. If Ashley committed £100-200m to signings, we'd be a Champions League cash cow that's worth far far more money and would be attractrive to prospective buyers. But he doesn't see that.

We shouldn't trust The S*n, of course, but you can just feel where this is heading. It's inevitable.
