Ahhh I like Willock ya know. Not bad when given a run of games, nice and direct and still cream my pants when I think about that ball vs Spurs. He’s got a terrible injury record granted but I’d keep him for another year. Be useful with the extra games.

Le Havre-ing a laugh aren’t you? Yeah, I’ll just go and fuck myself off. . . .

Still need a centre back. Not wholly convinced by Pedro as a the alternate/backup striker either.

Makes me laugh that every journalist worth his salt is saying it ain’t a goer for a wide variety of reasons but they’ve worked themself into such a frenzy about it they are adamant they know better. Odd.

I think the stunt on instagram in the toon shirt was a bit of a giveaway. I’m warming to this. Can see him and Isak linking up well, it’s definitely an improvement in that position, right age, fast as fuck, can shoot with both feet and is coming off the back of a great season with Forest.

Where have you got Guler from?

Had the season of his life. Firmly etched into club folklore and a stand up human being to boot.

Got a feeling the first we’ll hear of a proper signing is when he’s due to fly in. Similar to the Tonali, Guimaraes deals. . . .

Shouldn’t even be entertaining this. We’d have been fucked without Barnes contributions this year. Seems to be a great professional too, doesn’t kick up a fuss when benched, seems to have very little ego - tries hard. Can’t see the logic here, not for Elanga anyway.

What she seemed to do in terms of player acquisition was leave her ego out of it. She wasn’t a director of football or a transfer “specialist” like supposedly Mitchell and Ashworth were - she had absolutely nothing to gain or lose by simply going out and getting the players that Howe said he needed. And fuck me, for the most part, it worked.

Tbh it hasn’t seemed to have gone to plan since Mandy left.

Im pretty sure that’s what brought City to UEFA’s attention😂

The bit about the new center half is interesting. And by interesting I mean it’s interesting to note he’s admitted he hasn’t got a fucking clue.

The smokescreen or the real deal? Who the fuck knows😂

I agree with this. Wasn’t shocking by any stretch of the word - just fell short of his own high standards set by the previous season. That being said - if one of our gems has to be sold for that fabled “£100m” fee then it would probably make sense for it to be Gordon.

Not currently but I’m intrigued as to where his ceiling is. For me, he looked lively when called upon. Maybe a loan out next season for more minutes?

He could be available for half a packet of tabs - we still wouldn’t move quick enough to secure him.

Our recruitment - as usual - moving at the pace of coastal erosion

In regards to Grealish, obvious talent there and underneath there’s a thoroughly decent lad who’s always got time for fans etc etc. However there are massive red flags about his professionalism in regards to fitness. Rumours persist about his drinking (borderline alki and one to worry about when he retires) and his diet. There’s no question that Peps style has stifled his game but like most have said on here - is he worth the wage outlay when there’s too many questions about him? Probably not. That being said, if anyone can rehabilitate the lad it’s Eddie. . . .

Have to say - for a free transfer it wouldn’t be the worst move we’ve ever made. Had his fitness issues but definitely gives us options off the bench.

This has weeks of us fuckin around followed by him moving to Chelsea for £75m all over it.

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?
