Doctor Zaius

Was that when Carver offered you out?

Decent test of where we're at this is. Three games and three good results so far, albeit some relatively unconvincing performances. A well rested side with Schar returning. Wolves havent started well and I think will struggle this season. A win would be big. Would take four points from this and away to Fulham with some tough fixtures coming up after that.

I have 0 recollection of him at WBA after he left us like.

Really Really don't understand this. 0 apps for Chelsea, did fuck all at Strasbourg. Okay, the likes of Koulibally and Mendy etc that Chelsea managed to offload to Saudi for good money at least had big reputations. This one has done nothing, nobody knows who he is yet a PIF club are buying him for to the same amount Chelsea bought him. Something's not right and it's dodgy as fuck.

I know this is with the Oasis version in mind but the original is Gary Glitter like, not sure if itll take off

Does John Anderson not do the commentary any longer?

Turns out he's been a centre half all along.

Aside from kicking the ball into his own net I thought he was brilliant today. Tackle on Werner was class

Howler from Pope

13m we paid. Has to be one of our worst ever

They didn't just rock up yesterday. Eales has been here long enough. Mitchell has been here since July and will have been involved since the get go. Even if that isn't enough time, why wasn't he and other members of the recruitment team appointed earlier. We've finished the summer weaker than we started it and for me, Howe now faces an uphill battle to qualify for Europe, the ramifications of failing to do so on our ability to keep our best players is clear. Plenty of the criticism is completely valid.

I'm still whinging and bitching on in the football forum!

Dunno how anyone can say this window hasn't been mismanaged like. The thing is the money is there. We just waited on Guehi too long and now we're trying to panic buy Elanga on deadline day. Should have set a deadline on Guehi giving us enough time to bring in other targets. Piss poor man, no two ways about it.

Toney has clearly thought fuck it, and gone to maximise his earnings. Funny that no PL club has signed him despite begging for it for months to the point where he was downright disrespectful to Brentford. Look a bit daft now. 3 PL seasons, 36 goals, 0 European appearances and no impact at international level. Will be forgotten about in 10 years. He'll be rich as fuck mind.

Which why it never made sense to put all of our eggs in one basket for the entirety of the window.

So now we're into the 'Guehi is the only player in the entire world we could have signed and made a positive impact' territory.

If we had 70m to spend, you cant just say we have one target and one target only. Spend it right of course, but there needs to be other options instead of one player who is clearly out of reach. Unless of course, they've all made a decision whereby they're happy with the squad and Guehi was the only player that'd improve it, but its clear as day we're weak in several areas. Palace have played the club for absolute fools tbh

Fuck PSR in its entirety. Anti competitive bullshit to keep the 'bigger' clubs at the top and prevent any challenge. Game is rigged.

Disgraceful window being honest. A season after being in the CL and we've went a winter and then a summer window without making any improvements to the first XI. PSR constraints aside, there is clearly money there.

We never look comfortable on the ball. Hall so disappointing.

Notice him and his lass went their separate ways, hopefully it doesn't unsettle him.

Excellent bait in all fairness

Having one target for the entire summer is absolutely mental. What if the selling club wants us to pay over the odds for him? What do we do then? Well that's what's happened. Why has our summer consisted of Guehi or bust?

I really don't think being 4 days away from going through two transfer windows without improving the first XI is bedwetting like.

Chelsea in for Toney.
