Super Duper Branko Strupar

I dont see us singing more than 1 wide player. That'd give us new singing, Gordon, Maxi and Miggy. Murphy will stay to be 5th choice for there I think.

Dont think anyone said it'd be "better", more that it was "understandable". He obviously expected more game time, I think that's clear. The fact he hasnt had it will be disappointing clearly, but maybe its his fault. Maybe its not, I dont watch PSG to know. You cant knock his ambition, but it hasnt worked out this year. Doubt it's going to have cost him much career wise. He'll get a move somewhere and from the confidence I have in our scouting he'll be good.

You'd imagine we'd only be after 1 front 3 forward, and that being a wider forward. So it'd be one of Ekitike if he's even a consideration, Maddison or Pedro. Unless we're also looking at Maddison covering more than 1 position. But if we're after a Ugarte type we'd probably not be after more forward CM. Ekitike was also considered a 2 position player from what I read pre PSG move. Primarily a RF but also able to cover CF. GK, LB, CB, DCM, WF I think will be what we're looking for.

Get him in.

I saw a programme about that street not so long ago. It's like the worst street in Philadelphia.

Jade Thirlwall will be proud.

I remember posting in here during that time at Liverpool he was the future of English football. He was clinical af and absolutely unplayable for a while. Mad his decline.

Why would you do this?

Kenedy had some decent games but his performance overall wasn't particularly good. And it definitely felt at the time it was the best he'd performed in any season since he first joined Chelsea. He was hardly some amazing asset that was poorly done by. He was afforded many chances. The fact we're even talking about Kenedy kind of proves the point to me. Some distinctly average loanee with no proven history. We spent what we'd gained in sales, of course we absolutely couldnt dream of spending more, and there was one flop in Muto but what kind of striker would you expect for 9.5m even back then. Rondon was a great loan. The second half of that season we were mint and ripe for kicking on, but of course that was never going to be entertained by Fat cunt. Rafa wasn't asking for much and he was offered even less, any kind of manager worth their salt would have walked away from the situation. Frustrating as fuck too because in 19/20 so many other PL teams were bang average and had we continued on the path we'd ended the previous season we'd have looked really good. But instead we completely under performed with a league position gifted to us. To deny Rafa the praise he rightly deserves for his time here is mental to me and any argument to the counter is completely ignoring vast swathes of context.

Howay, man.

Im guessing Kamara will still be injured for this?

Rob Earnshaw is 5 years older than Charlie Adam

Ashley apologists already. Wow.

Aye saw that, at Carlisle.

3rd on GD, bumping Carlisle out. Be huge to be promoted in their first season back in professional football after 10 years out.

Have you heard Luton fans talk?

Urgh absolutely not. Absolutely fucking grim place and bunch of people.

Preston are 1-0 and be nice to get a Norwich goal. Cant see them getting playoffs unless a couple of teams fall off. Be nice for Millwall to miss out on playoffs too. Be nice if it was Luton, Boro, Blackburn and Preston who get playoffs.

Stockport County making a real push for automatic promotion after a slow start to the season. Seem to remember @Optimistic Nut putting a bet on for them to win it at the beginning of the season.

It was absolutely hilarious

Bargain then.

Wasn't Isak's minimum fee release clause higher than the 63m we paid?

Leicester need to nail this appointment, like. If they do end up staying up I think next year will be very tough for them.

Halcyon days

Text a Leeds mate just now. His reply? "I'm watching the golf". Classic Leeds.
