We are atrocious, he hasn’t got a scooby man

Agreed

Could do with this coming to an end and a new sporting director installed

Totally. RW is going to eat up most of our budget. In an ideal world we’d strengthen all areas of the team but that’s fantasy land with PSR. Club is having to box clever wiht signings.

Olise is nailed on for Chelsea.

Exactly, Pope allows the defence to push up which was one of the major issues when Dubravka was in goal. They must rate Trafford pretty highly anyway and it sounds like the structure of the deal is the only issue.

I’m just not convinced this summer we’ll shell out the money for a starting keeper when you consider the other areas that need filling particularly now as we missed out on Tosin. Pope’s shoulder aside the defence function pretty solidly when he’s playing. Botman will also be back later this season and Kelly provides more recovery pace. I can see why they’re going for Trafford that’s all. We desperately need a new RW, R CB, probably a new striker. I think they’ll opt fo those areas above spending 35-40 or whatever it costs on a new keeper.

I agree to an extent but im not sure they have the funds to get a new starter at RW and keeper and potentially R CB. Something is going to have to give somewhere.

Oh and the absolute knackers that are his “followers” 🤦‍♂️

Yeah awful little cretin who’s been rightfully found guilty for being the absolute cunt that he is. Hopefully he winds his neck in now but as you say he can’t help himself. Hopefully that leads to him being done over again in court by others. Act like a cunt, you get what you deserve.

I think they’re good fixtures really, can’t complain.

Stuck in Dobbies 😂😂👏

I imagine everything will properly kick off for most teams in a few weeks at the start of the new financial 3 years and as players start returning from the euros. There’s probably deals lined up which won’t be announced until July for some teams.

Decisions on st James and the potential new training ground site moving at glacial levels of speed

I can’t actually see where you buy one on the site, woeful 🤷‍♂️ Edit, bought

Can match most strikers for pace which we need

That was Henry Winters point too FWIW

Good young talent, solid back up, plenty to learn still obviously but can develop under Pope. Potentially a really good signing if it happens.

😂

Money and locality talks and good luck to him I guess. He didn’t want to come here, others will. It is a recruitment blow however as they were obviously keen on him.

How much is the new top likely to cost?

There was discussion on talksport yesterday morning as I was driving to the lakes about the new rules that were brought in - all 3 agreed in issuing the (Stefan someone) that they’ve been out in place as barrier to us. Interestingly I didn’t realise that any new sponsorahip deal not only has to be ratified be an independent body but the potential sponsor itself has to argue reasons for the sponsorship and why it’s fair market value. Like wtf?? Even the guy Stefan someone who was on the show to talk about the regulations said this was ridiculous.

Seems like everything is going to go nuts in terms of premier league transfers from July 1st

He’ll be absolutely raging 😂

Yeah it’s a farce then isn’t it, the top six cartel have it locked down. I don’t think the club banked on hard line rule changes like this when the takeover happened.
