Is there really any other kind at this time of year?

Maybe later. In the bath now.

Nah not heard of that mate. What is it?

I think if SBR couldn’t inspire or tutor him then there was never really any hope for the kid.

Everyday I live in hope for an Isak/Tonali style surprise transfer. Can’t believe it’s been almost 3 years since one of those. . . . Got me thinking, what changed? Have PIF lost a little of their enthusiasm or are we just a little bit all over this place at boardroom level so nothing is driving us forward?

Had one of the worst debuts you’re likely to see. Seem to remember him being proper thrown in at the deep end mind you. Think there was a marked improvement after that.

You’re right but it’s absolutely galling watching them cherry pick some elite talent without a care in the world whilst openly cooking the books as an established “top 6” team. Fuck modern football.

I mean, yeah. Mbuemo ticked all the boxes didn’t he. Goals and assists for days. Would have flourished under Eddies mags. But - bigger picture stuff - he’s chose the dollar. By all accounts he’s quadrupled his wages - fair fucks to him. How many players have moved to that club and dropped off? Nearly all of them? There you go. I fully trust Howe, given his recent comments, to strengthen the team.

Awful sense of foreboding that we do a lot of navel gazing this window whilst all the hot potatoes get scoffed. .

A lot of them can’t see passed the “Saudi billions” schtick. The reality is we run a pretty tight ship financially and have a wage structure.

Hahahahahahahha

Forza Mbongo!!!!

Fat sausages?

Good player, deffo one of the future but I’d like someone who’s gunna add a couple of inches to our schlong if you will pardon the expression. At the moment we’re trying to drill a big booty with a regular Hampton, it’s doing ok but we could do with a little bit of extra girth and push on it.

Chelsea doing Chelsea things and signing another 56 players then I see. Lovely. Wonder if they can sell themselves to themselves again to fund it all.

Filling the void with noise and platitudes to cover for the fact that he, like 100% of the other journos and ITK’s, were caught spectacularly off guard with this one. None of them know anything.

I like Kelly Brook son but the likelihood of me coming home to her cooking me tea in her skivvies is slim to none.

With respect I disagree. It may be the case that Howe wants to grab the mantle and get those couple of signings he feels he needs to make us a real force on a couple of fronts. I think after the season he’s had, if he wants to maintain the momentum then all credit to him. He’s got enough credit in the bank to at least try. And if Mitchell was trying to dampen that with his own long term plans then I’m sorry but I’m fully backing Howe. The board clearly have.

Ahhh right. Thanks for that mate.

I dunno. I’m a bit old fashioned in I believe that the guy picking the team and tactics every week should have a pretty big say in the personnel he has to choose from.

How so

Did absolutely next to fuck all. Give the job to Nickson, let Howe have the oversight and input into it he wants and let’s stop fucking around.

They must be such a difficult team to actually like as a fan ya know. No time to get attached to the players to fully back em before they’re being shipped out or replaced after only 12 months.

Fair enough - didn’t realise they’d used him as much as they had

Did he get more than 10 games last year?
