I don't wish harm on him, but if Joselu could just have a tiny little knock that forces him off early on

Jesus fucking christ man. Joselu. There goes any chance of a result.

The lower down we are also increases the chance any sale is to another complete chancer who doesn't have what it takes and just wants us because we're a big name for that level to make them feel important. I also don't want my club in League 1. There's no guarantee it helps anyway, but there's a guarantee it definitely hurts.

Didn't agree with the way him playing well was always rewarded with being dropped straight away.

In terms of what they actually did for us, I'd be having Nobby and his trumpet on the right.

Why did Rafa and Jamaal agree to that.

If Rondon or Muto starts then I wouldn't be surprised at us giving them a really good game and getting something. If Joselu starts I think we'll be trampled.

Even now he's still suggesting it's not too late to get him to extend his contract. Ugh, the pain.

Nah, on Gamez I read they (Rafa included) genuinely expected better and were shocked at his levels of fitness.

Gini Wijnaldum went straight from being relegated to integral to Liverpool. And he looked absolutely terrible at times for us. You can't just judge players on who they play for. Buying big teams cast offs isn't good either.

Swear our favourite little racist is playing in this Burnley game. Can't make out the commentary but it looked like it had to be him

Just noticed they've got Merino as an incoming, as well. Figures are all over the place, never mind. The way loans to permanents work he might be down as in from Dortmund and out to Sociedad at the same time, but I would have thought it would be put in January.

It's Ki who might be missing for a while if he doesn't retire, but he's expected to.

Voted no too. Also not convinced Federico Fernandez even exists so I was still right.

Burnley's business reeks of being terrified of altering the squad in case some minor change stops them peforming above their level like they have been.

I'd hope not. We've looked dreadful everytime we've tried it. Conte might have had it in vogue for a while but that's over now.

Passed the deadline, alarming as we aren't Spurs and won't get dispensation to stretch the window forever

They'll use Liam Gibson as the back up left back, complete with telling that inspirational story every time he's in the squad to make it all okay.

Just saw a picture of him at SJP on Twitter. Seems like it's done. He'd probably be my choice alongside Lascelles until Schar settles in with Clark as 4th choice. If Lejeune's back around the new year I'd look to get rid of Clark then.

We have more midfielders than we do defenders. Absolutely awful hot take that we need them more than a defender.

Surely Jorge fails for a work permit anyway?

Fee not agreed.

Surely the only reason there's "good" news on Fernandez is because Marlon Santos isn't coming. Anyway, I'd prefer Federico. He's been in England 4 seasons, has worked with Rafa before and would at least be our player.

Doubt its even true

I've always seen Fernandez as one of them okay, standard centre backs you see everywhere. Probably does exactly what he's told.
