Kid Icarus

I'm asking with Murphy and ASM being the even worse alternatives in mind, rather than us not needing or striker, obviously we do.

Gayle not likely to be back?

When he got his 5 in 13 under Roeder he was actually really decent. Typical Shola that his best form for us was when he was at his most fucked physically and he did it while needing a hip operation.

At the moment we're up to 0:43 to 1:43 in my forced Pretty Woman shopping scene analogy that I'll be sticking with for the rest of the window.

A different club in a different situation buying different players. Udinese are also a partnered club with Watford. Maybe you should tell us how it works? Even then, how does 'get signings in before the window opens' join up with clubs wanting to get the maximum value possible? Any club wanting to do that blatantly isn't going to sell before the window opens, what you're saying contradicts itself.

None of this adds up with 'just get it done before the window opens' because the same 'sell them at the highest value' theory applies regardless.

Shaw must need a rest or something, he was arguably player of the tournament just over 6 months ago.

Wasn't it just a week or two ago where the rationale for NOT giving penalties for blocks like that was that the player was nowhere near the ball?

Man United being so naturally unlikeable that they're making me want Villa to win.

I would absolutely fucking love him here. Loveable prick.

As usual 'look at this again' means 'change the decision and find a reason'. Bullshit decision

Well that's exactly it. That's the point some of us were making, that that could be what's potentially affecting him, rather than him being a bad player or anything

I should have stuck to my guns about him a while back. The stats were definitely obscuring him looking nowhere near as good as last season.

The same logic would apply to a fit Callum Wilson.

Ingesting microplastics

If Wood really does have a release clause, then activating it solely with the ulterior motive of weakening Burnley is probably worth doing imo.

Not very good on crosses hahahahaha

It really is getting a bit like that like.

It's probably worth remembering that for a really, really long time we've only ever been the club that's been desperately looking around for players to buy in January and never the club looking to stave off interest for our best players, because we always deliberately put them in the shop window. I don't think Januaries are like this for most other clubs. Even if we stay up this summer, it's going to take a lot to change our mindsets while there's (hopefully) a sea-change at the club.

Absolutely no one can deny the whole bedwetting thing now, like. So many going on like actual bairns.

Mad that it took a tweet a day later to state what should have already been obvious.

Has any price been mentioned btw? I can't seem to see the fees for Wood.

Hopefully we get some updates later tonight, it's been really quiet today. Yesterday was a negative and right now we need two positives.
