Wout Weghorst any good then? State from the Bundesliga look good mind. Signing Burnley's striker who's scored 3 goals all season allowing them to spend half of the 20/25m fee on a Dutch international who scored 20 league goals last season might turn out to be spectacularly poor judgement

Always makes me laugh when folk come on an internet forum and whinge at other folk for daring to have an opinion that isnt the same as theirs.

On or off? Whats gan on?

A deal is clearly there to be done. Be another sickner if they can't get it over this line.

Thats one take, not sure I see it that way. They had from October until December to get some senior recruitment staff in but here we are with Stavely, Reuben, Howe and Nickson scratching around unable to sign anyone. They had plenty of time to identify targets too. I dont buy into the 'sale took them by surpise' argument. Football moves fast and a couple of months is enough time. There are mitigating factors. The window is difficult but not impossible. We're not looking to improve on good players here, we just need some competent bodies through the door. 'Trying their best' doesn't really cut it when we're staring down the barrel.

I dont think its down to misogyny like. Id say its probably down to the fact that the manager search/DOF search and now the January window has been a bit of a shambles.

Why are we even bothering here. He's not going to pick us ahead of Arsenal like. Wasting yet more time seemingly.

Really cant see this happening like.

6 days left of the window in which they've identified and signed one pre window transfer target. Wouldn't be posting that if I was him.

That can't be true like. Fuck me if it is like. Aye, fuck Coutinho, we'll just stick with the dross we have incase it unsettles a dressing room that's managed one win all season before this weekend. Can't upset the apple cart now, not while everything is going so swimmingly.

Fucked if so then. Would be incredibly naïve not to see this coming.

Really hope we've been working on other targets aside from this like.

Howay man, just pay it like.

Ahh. I wasn't aware that it was only that stupid bald sad act that was reporting it.

Anyone know why the Bakker deal collapsed?

Why does that include a Bournemouth scout who just so happens to be Howe's nephew? I can understand him wanting his own man within recruitment. That would be fine, if he was one amongst many but we've yet to appoint any other senior staff like.

Its the Mail so take it with a healthy dose of salt but if thats the case then they really dont have a clue what they're doing like.

This week really is massive like. We've failed to nail our first choice targets clearly. Fine - its a difficult window to do business in and bringing in top level players to a side in the bottom three is a big ask. However, you'd hope there are backups. There are plenty of players out there who would improve this side and keep us up. Yes we'll have to overpay, but thats the fact of the matter. We're so weak at left back, centre half and centre midfield that there is a plethora of players that would improve us. The fact that Dummett is looking like first choice left back tells you all you need to know, its not like we're trying to improve on good players here - we just need players who are somewhat competent. We're trying to improve on players who aren't close to PL quality - not make a jump from good players to world class players. We can hope that they've identified targets and have a viable plan B. There really is no excuses for not getting a few through the door like, given how weak we are in certain areas.

The fact that he's got 3 goals this season in a Burnley side that play to his every strength says it all. Stop gap job like but sooner Wilson is back the better.

Couple of additions and we stay up like. Don't even think they have to be world class like. Get it done.

THANK FUCK

Waste of time VAR, absolute joke

Please please do not concede

Willock is absolutely fucking shit. An abomination. Can't pass and his control is laughable for a PL footballer
