Shadow Puppets

Craig Hope… absolute bellend.

I’m having a go at people who make assumptions or try to pin blame on people without having the first clue about how any of it works. Im not happy with the lack of incomings… of course… but I don’t see any point in making up stories to rile myself up and create issues in my mind 🤷‍♂️

Oh good, you’re back.

Nick mate… smile. You’re getting yourself worked up over stuff that really isn’t that important. “Shot with shit” ffs 🙄

He’s definitely worth more than £40m like. In today’s market £55m-£60m is perfectly reasonable for a player with his attributes / leadership.

🤷‍♂️ I dunno… it all feels very odd. So much confidence from our side over the last few weeks.

I get the impression (and yes I’ve asked again) that this STILL isn’t over by the way 🙄. I asked if we’ve pulled out / if it’s over, and was just told “no”. Its all part of the brinksmanship I think, although I do think we’ll have other irons in fires too.

That’s the spirit 😁

No, I completely agree with you. I’ll be disappointed if we don’t sign anyone else, sure, but angry… no. It’s not really worthy of that.

😁 It’s usually pretty casual and just comes up in conversation to be fair.

Not yet no. But I’m loathed to ask again 😁

I’m going for Guehi and Trafford. And a few outgoing loans.

Out of curiosity, what is Mitchell’s history with last minute deals? He was at Spurs… does that mean he was part of that Spurs era where they left everything late every window?

He’s been woeful for Benfica.

Eh? I thought he perfectly encapsulated the teams performance. Good for the first 20, poor for the middle part of the game, then strong for the last 20.

The first 25 mins were pretty good man. We played some nice stuff until Willock went off. Then not good for 30 mins or so. Then decent at the end again.

Mixed performance. Played well until Willock went off. Lost our way, and then picked up again for the last 20 mins. All in all though a pretty positive first 3 games of the season, especially considering we aren’t out of 1st gear yet.

We apparently approached him early in the summer and were told he was only interested in European football.

Rumours that are categorically untrue.

You’re definitely wrong on that front.

Second time in a week she’s asked something that Eddie had to shut down. On Friday she was asking how the club would essentially babysit him to prevent further bets.

This is why we want him so badly by the way… https://youtu.be/p0_HDuYUJTE?si=TobZw4JfyIi6aIbo

I wonder (purely speculating) whether we were happy for him to be cup tied in exchange for a more favourable agreement? I dunno. Bit of a stretch.

Close to the player.
