Shadow Puppets

I like it. Obviously not as good as the original, but I only like that kit so much because of the nostalgia of that era / those players. If the current squad go out and perform miracles in it, I’ll love this one too.

As far as I know (ie how much my contact knows), this isn’t yet done. (As of about 3 hours ago at least) They’re still confident it’s imminent, as they have been since last week. Nothing’s changed today that I’m aware of, but obviously things can change very quickly. 🤷‍♂️

Where?

The only update I can offer is that, as of post-match yesterday, they were still very confident that it’s imminent 🤷‍♂️

Apologies if it’s been covered already, but how close was that to Girona’s starting 11?

His back issue is absolutely fine now… he damaged his metatarsal whilst doing physio recovery.

I don’t know, sorry.

End of September return for Miley.

Tonight was a great reminder, in the middle of a transfer window where everyone clamours for new shiny players, that this current group are fucking talented. Some absolutely beautiful football played at times tonight. Priority for me is to get the Guehi deal done and then IF a RW can be found that would improve us, do it, but if not Miggy, Murphy and Gordon who can also play there seems not the end of the world.

What are ticket sales looking like for tomorrow night?

I haven't heard any more news (and I'm not asking 😀) by the way. I assume, by his training photos, that obviously it's taking longer than they hoped.

source?

🤷‍♂️

He didn't take anything today to be fair. He did a few weeks back with my Gordon info though, and the other day with the initial news of Guehi.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been told this is a matter of when (imminent), not if. Sounds like some of the players have been in touch with him this week and it’s the expectation that he’ll be through the door before the end of the week in time to play some part this weekend.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never really actually noticed Schar’s aerial weakness… not enough for it to be an obvious problem in our team anyway.

So close to being accurate 😂 I don’t own a box, nor am I a rich bastard. The rest is fairly accurate to be fair 😂

Hi Will! 👋

😂 I’m happy to admit that I’ve not been told anything about this transfer, but I’ve asked directly about it since and that’s what I’ve been told.

Guehi is definitely wanting to move to us, so I’m told. AG and Tripps have been in his ear on England duty, and he’s very close to AG. Also, apparently there’s a clause that would make it significantly cheaper for us to sign him before the season starts (something to do with a sell-on clause, but I’m not sure on specifics), so if it happens, I’m imagining we’re pushing really hard to make it happen this side of Southampton.

That third shirt is bloody lovely like. Favourite of them all.
