Adam Armstrong The bloke has scored a handful of goals in the championship. He's not as good as Dwight Gayle, let's be honest. Gayle has scored 20 odd goals twice in two championship seasons, including 10 MotM performances compared to Armstrong's 6, 1, 5 and 16 goal seasons with 1 MotM performance. I know who I'd rather have in my Premier League side.

That shit ain’t funny He should really hold on to his info and tell everyone that he knew about it after it's happened.

Part of me thinks that this is great news. The other part of me thinks that we'll end up seeing them replaced with people who are less competent and don't have the rapport. It's Botham and Gower all over again.

Based on what

You tease

Not thick at all. Looking at the situation with critical eyes Nothing to stop him doing some actual journalism and checking to see if what he's been told is actually based in any kind of factual world. Unless it was just an interview and reported as one, rather than taking a single source as gospel That's fine in most scenarios, but with one source (we are assuming) involved in a highly confidential process, I'm not sure how feasible that is. In that case a decent journalist wouldn't report as fact, and would write as an opinion piece. Probably not feasible to report with checks, but that should have been made clear. You are literally spouting complete and utter gibberish like. I don't know how thick people have to be to see it the way you do, but George has made it abundantly clear every time he's shared his bits of info that "the buyer's believe...", "it's from the buyer's", "the buyer's have been told there are no red flags". All of those things are true, or were true at the time of reporting. As far as I'm aware, as someone who knows George a little bit, he hasn't once said that "THE TAKEOVER WILL BE APPROVED ON DAY XYZ". Saying news should have confirmed and verified sources is hardly gibberish. George may have had a confirmed source, but was never verified. Reading his pieces he only hints at this but does present it as fact even though technically he doesn't. His reports convinced a lot of people that he actually had an insight into what was going on, which over the last few weeks has been revealed as to be not the case. His source is literally Amanda Staveley. How much closer to the deal do you want him to be?

Grealish been given the Shelvey treatment?

Good luck in finding one for £10m - which is probably about as optimistic as you can get when it comes to budget for a striker. Realistically there's no way we can buy a decent striker for anything less than £30m unless he's about 34, and that would be red flagged for lack of resale value. Bruce is just coming out with that whitewash because that is literally his job now. To rubber stamp our beggars budget. Don’t need to spend a penny. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/statistik/vertragslosespieler Any unattached striker would be better than having just those 3. To be fair, some of those unattached strikers are better than them too It's surprising just how many of the worst strikers in the world we always seem to have in our team in any given season. I've seen foaming rage at us fielding the likes of Shola, DeJong, Tomasson, Riviere, Guivarch, Andersson, Joselu and now Joelinton. Every time, whichever striker is wearing the current number 9 shirt, he's the absolute worst we've ever had. So without spending big money, don't be shocked if whichever dud comes in next is equally as bad. Although from Bruce's quotes it seems he realises it as well and so is giving up the fight before he's even taken his coat off. Especially when the likes of Bournemouth and Southampton have 2 or 3 that would walk into our side.

And so it begins

Any way of disabling the crowd noise on the Youtube stream?

He'd be losing it if he did the exact opposite of what you accused him of losing it for.

3-1 in the end, the game looked every bit the amateur sspectacle it was meant to.

Nah, they'll be nowhere near relegation man

Are we going down the route of picking centre backs at full back?

I thought Dawson chucked it?

Always looked like a good player. Now proving it. Reminds me of this http://www.quickmeme.com/img/93/9391c70ea269ae8019def37c304cb990df598646bf9cdc1d0a129ebce87c6f5d.jpg

Embarassing

So you'd prefer him not to communicate with any potential buyers and report what they're telling him? Lee Ryder etc get stick for not doing enough digging. We can't have it both ways.

The use of the term 'pedigree'.

The fuck has this got to do with anything? Robert Lee and Gary Speed weren't exactly born on Northumberland Street.

I know what you mean, but it would have to be one hell of a turnaround. Decent Championship player, but he's not got the flair to be a PL winger. All I can remember him doing is running straight forward nearly every time with little to no imagination and often very poor end product.

Honestly? He's absolute trash and does not appear to have the mental toughness for the PL. Absolutely nothing about him says that he'll ever be a half decent Premier League player one day.

It's Brentford not Barcelona.
