The Prophet

Using Hurst as a voice of the fans

Worth baring in mind Mokbel is a Parish mouthpiece when discussing these things.

Can't understand why people can't hold out another five days to see how it pans out instead of melting down. I'll be as gutted as anyone if we sign no one, but I doubt that'll be the case.

It is bizarre that so many think success and failure is defined by the transfer market. More important to PIF, their investment has trebled in value in just a couple of years.

I find the forum is better than most in terms of a middle ground, but it's getting worse

I don't think so, but hard questions will have to be asked. PIF never settle for second best and they'll give Eales the dressing down he deserves.

Don't think we'll ever find out how much he truly cost. We're briefing Forest would only take Anderson if he was included in the deal. It's almost certainly so they could bank an inflated amount of profit to help with PSR. Either way he was swapped for Anderson and cash, so didn't cost anything.

Hall for £28 million Osula for £10 million Missed any?

We haven't needed to. Last time I can recall is Bruno, Burn and Targett signing late in Jan 2022.

Worth giving this a read.

Thought a point was about right in the end. We started well, but lost our way. Without Schar, we struggle to play out from the back and I wouldn't be adverse to us being a bit more direct, particularly against another high-pressing team. It also looked like we fell into a 4-4-2, particularly off the ball which is new and wasn't particularly effective. After the subs we went back into our normal shape and looked a lot better. Barnes and Hall looked very lively down the left and I thought we were the better team from that point. The handball was the correct decision, bit it's a ridiculous rule that needs changing.

What we thinking. Three in, half a dozen out this week?

The deal being reported for Trafford is a loan with an obligation.

Feels anything but given we first bid for him over a month ago mind. What it does tell us is that we're still focusing on pre-Mitchell targets as has been reported.
