The Prophet

...rest assured, if he does take a bit of time to settle, we can write him off as we did with Gordon, Hall and Tonali.

I may score high on the cuntometer, but with Barnes and Willock benched, who else will I roll my eyes and sigh audibly at?

Am I adding him to the "hound him out O-meter" or not?

He definitely seems more of a playmaker type than someone who'll spearhead the attack. Our wingers should love him though.

Been watching him more closely of late and still not sure how good he is

Just been professional innit. Isak disrespected the club, the fans, along with his team mates and manager. He's a cunt.

Couldn't put my finger on who he reminded me of. Saul Goodman.

He'll be buzzing at the sighing and collective eye rolling during his first game.

You can tell he's from sales.

Hound. Him. Out.

Always dubious when this sort of stuff is stated after the fact.

Meh, we only secured Trippier because he wanted to move up North in the UK.

Aye, but we had buy in from the off. If Pedro wanted to return to London and Chelsea had expressed an interest (which it was reported they had), chances are it would have always played out the way it did, with his agent sounding them out before committing to a move up here.

I find that hard to believe, but he'll know better.

Some much needed leadership and strategic direction at the top of the club.

I think it was the Athletic who reported they have an option to make it permanent, but that option contains a buy back clause.

Has that been confirmed as the reason why?

Apparently so, but it could have been for any number of reasons.

Sounds like we tried. At least we know there's a market for him now.

Gave the new format a go to see if it changed. Narrator: "It hadn't"

Just reading another thread and never really thought about it before, but this lads legacy at the club is going to be massive isn't it? Joined in relegation battle, League Cup winner, soon to be Champions League winner, multiple European qualifications, captain, mad cunt, all round good egg. Has to be one of our very best.

PotT talking like the CEO appointment is due over the international break, potentially this week.

I'm getting there. I attended my first game when I was a boy, I spent much of my teenage years in and around SJP. To this day it's still a means of connecting with family. It's not as straightforward as dropping it and picking another club, if I jack it in I'll not bother with the game full stop. So I'd say you're trying to force something that's pretty grey and subjective into neat black and white (excuse the pun) objectivity.
