Tiresias

Well works for me as I was going to watch a film and slightly disappointed I was going to miss that.

That and I think DoFs dont want the reputation of jumping ship mid season on them for future jobs I suspect so are much more likely to see out seasons than players are.

not exactly the most exciting signing and kinda crazy to spending £20m on him but if he can be revived probably useful for remainder of season

There is very little value in the January window and especially considering our obvious desperation and money this is absolutely inevitable. Honestly teh thing that is most annoying really is that it does feel like our club leaks like a sieve. I appreciate most comes from agents etc far from the control of our club but i do think th eclub wants to keep journos friendly so talk a lot and it just means all the missed targets are very obvious

This is way too harsh. However it is absolutely clear the squad is dire and it will take a huge amount to turn us around. I am concerned about Howe but perfectly willing to give him more of a chance but I am disappointed we are still look aimless in attack.

I dunno feel if he wasnt there noone would be trying anything at all. Still disappointing lack of end product, desperately needs a player who can hold up the ball alongside him mind.

Very poor, we were unfortunate not to get a goal at times but as time wore on was clear we weren't beating their stoic defence and they got a goal with a bit of luck. Well done them. Our players should be embarrassed.

Well deserved by cambridge this, we are just totally clueless in attack, loose with passes, lots of crosses to nobody nothing particularly incisive

Willock fucking useless

ffs dubs

All set up for an upset lol they have a goal in them and we cant score... I dont think we've been that bad just blunt and our shocking midfield cant hold the ball so always giving them chances to run at us

shockingly without our only natural finisher we are a bit blunt.

Starting to really push, a goal should come

I respect rafa tho

Am i alone in being put off with him falling out with rafa? I think does have question mark on mentality

I mean i see some logic it is a stroke of luck for us but do you extend it to players who were injured can't now play? What about if a player wasn't in form but now is do you tell them not to score?

Sad how weird it is to see a manager and club behave so graciously considering they're probably well within their rights to be miffed he hasn't stayed longer. It will pay dividends later mind as will make other players want to join knowing they will be treated reasonably. I do totally understand their fans being frustrated at losing players and seemingly not fighting it too hard, and equally understand clubs wanting to keep players often, but think it will probably be long term sensible for them.

I dunno heard a lot of hype about balogun so will probably sink never to be seen again

Guardiola right now

What a hit

The timing stinks looks like a call for clubs to come in for him but if you look at what he said it was not that bad really at all. Very likely terribly advised. Partially it's one of these infantilising things where in normal adult world it would be a quick apology for something fairly minor gets blown out of proportion because it may insult a load of fans who really should know better than to care

On loan fine but no obligation to buy, not worth it

I mean anyone celebrating before pen is to paper is mad in transfer dealings. This seems likely but not done deal. Hope it happens but hope club are actively pursuing alternatives as well right up until the contract is signed. This is normal transfer window stuff and gets blown up by media who are of course briefed by agents every inch of the way so as to maximize the drama. Do not presume anything has happened before it has happened.

leaked legal documents (so not 100% credible i guess just on word that legit) say he admitted the woman told him to stop multiple times. Grim stuff.

Disgraceful how Afcon is treated, imagine if a club in some way prevented a player playing in euros or world cup.
