Always amazes me how business people who claim to love the free market absolutely abhors competition.

I know we’re all laughing but once again the winner from all of this is Steve Bruce who is likely on his way to Portugal right now. His ability to steal a living is absolutely top notch

One of the most exciting elements for me is his relationship with Bruno, they are on the same wavelength and know exactly when to release the ball so space is created for the receiver.

Indeed, welcome to the premier league where every successful club buys it.

Great performance energy levels were fantastic from the off. Entire team played exceptionally well and boy is Botman ice cold another hugely impressive display from him.

Surprised it was even 4 knowing Ashley.

Fair enough, injuries permitting of course

Salary in line with our top earners tells me his first choice.

How long did he have left?

He was good, to suggest otherwise is likely someone who is extremely bias. As some others have said, his willingness to attack space and create overloads is invaluable and really speaks of his stamina and willingness to contribute.

Cracking first half performance love how we controlled the game.

Our lack of investment in the wide areas has really hurt us. Ah well; transitional season and all that.

Douglas spin here as a bit weird mind. Everything club in the league buys young players with the hope of either them breaking into the first team and or selling them for a profit.

I wonder if it’s because he let slip the deal is 4 years.

Can only assume it was a reward for Burn who did well standing in at full back. To be frank if he isn’t starting it wasn’t the time to but buy him though as we evidently need attacking players.

i thought Targett was poor as well. Didn’t offer enough going forwards.

Yeah that’s the part which makes no sense. Spent an absolute fortune and binned before they could even gel

Me either but if Chelsea coming knocking for him he would likely jump at the opportunity. I wouldn’t blame them for going for a big name either mind, they need success and quickly. Unfortunately for Chelsea the go to managers you would want are taken (Ancelotti and Pep) so I expect it will be Poch.

Eh? if he has ambitions to win trophies he has to go to Chelsea.

If Harrison or Maddison don’t sign new contracts I’d expect we will definitely be in for them. Pedro possibly especially if Watford falter in the promotion attempt.

Caulkin: Basically spended more on Isak than we wanted to at this stage. He knows we are making calls, Midfielder seems to be what they want.

Caulkin on now.

I’m tempering my expectations and wouldn’t be surprised if we were done. hope I’m wrong though.

Aye definitely nothing to do with new processes post brexit a backlog due to covid and likely high amounts of staff absence. not to mention not getting a pay rise for donkey years. damn those feckless British workers.
