Kid Icarus

Wolves are much poorer than I expected, so with that in mind it's disappointing but means that all's not lost. Willock should have scored and was unlucky that the ball went through his legs but he's been okay. You can see that Schar and Burn are missing Bruno coming short, Longstaff just doesn't have the skill to do that under pressure. As a result we look a bit aimless, but we're getting in good positions. We can get something out of this though, definitely.

I see N-O is in full on Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide mode.

Or us

Boring 0-0 please

We should get a do-over on Newcastle predictions if there's no Bruno, Wilson or Isak

Don't care what anyone says, there's nothing strategic about Forest's signings

Will snap your hand off for a draw now

MD stealing our talent Fede is an excellent signing for any Championship team providing they can keep him fit.

I fully blame Tranmere's cunt players and that incompetent nonce ref for allowing this to happen

Nah, he's wrong. We're not using typewriters.

It's a strange one like. I was saying at the start of the window that so much depended on what Howe saw Bruno's long-term role as. Whether we'd go for an AM and keep Bruno deep, or go for a dedicated DM and keep Bruno more advanced. It seems like we've gone from one approach to the other, but even when we were looking for an AM, Paqueta wasn't in the equation. FWIW, I think it's a good way to go. Playing Bruno more advanced seems to make him much more useful.

Exactly, Ritchie is and will always be a big part of this club's triumph over adversity during the Rafa years. Strangely, Ronaldo extends that deserved respect to Dwight Gayle, but has the opposite attitude towards Matt Ritchie.

Just passing accuracy and long passes are like the top 1 and 2 centile.

It could be more things like looking out for players, like he did with Longstaff, or sticking up for them, like he did against Bruce. Just a hunch.

FBRef has passing as his best attribute

The best compliment you could give him is that ideally you'd want 2 of him. One as a 6 and one as an 8.

We the jury find the creaming justified

I'm not sure if it's just because I'm paying much more attention, but this window seems like the most active in history. It seems like every single team except Leicester has gone bananas.

I might be a grown man approaching 40, but him being number 14 is setting off a sense of nostalgia that's likely to result in me getting his name on my top.

It's a 10 if we just get Harrison for me. He's the one Marv, he's the silver tuna.

It still doesn't feel real For context, I signed him on FIFA a few months ago then sold him because it felt too unrealistic even though I also signed Paqueta, Maddison, Diaby, and fucking Jude Bellingham .

I wonder if we're fully holding out for Diaby.

I've taught English as a foreign language before and I think a few on here have too. I can't tell you how incredible and rare it is for his English to be that good that quickly.

Considering Flip reckons Paqueta is better than Bruno, I think him going to West Ham of all places is the maddest. I was fully expecting Man City, Spurs, Arsenal to be in for him and if not that it would be us.

I imagine the announcement will be at 5 or 6pm to maximise who sees it
