Barnes looks finished

I thought it would be more like £7m £20m is a lot but who cares, think the Saudis can afford to overpay a bit

Happy with this, as good as it's gonna get at this point in time. Competent cover/partner for Wilson who has proven he can score goals at this level, also let's face it he's a good signing for next season if we do indeed go down.

You didn't exactly need to be Nostradamus to predict the new owners were going to sack Bruce sometime after the Tottenham game.

Mateta has only started 2 games this season, 3 sub appearances, one of which being 4 minutes against us. He only started 2 games last season as well, 1 goal. He's really a nothing player.

He's really bad

Really wouldn't fancy that team to even beat Watford

In our current predicament I think Woods is as good as we're likely gonna get in terms of a striker to come in and rival/cover for Wilson's hamstrings. Always going to have to overpay with Saudi ownership, January window and being 19th. Both him and Cantwell could also be seen as signings with half an eye on the Championship as well

Gotta say, if someone with a time machine told you on 8th November that the new manager would have won 1 game and seen us knocked out at home of the FA Cup in the 3rd round to Cambridge by 8th Jan you'd be bitterly, bitterly disappointed.

0-1

Him and Longstaff need binning this window

Yeah agreed. These are all things Howe was supposedly good at coaching and improving in players.

He's had enough time now to coach attacking movement and so on though, the final third decision making shouldn't be that hard to iron out. We're playing Cambridge ffs

They clearly flew him over to give him an easy moral boosting win as well

Would take the £1m from Everton for Longstaff. Use it towards Botman's sign on bonus or something

Hope he actually gets to see us win. Bit embarrassing.

Beye and Debuchy were about equal. Both only had one good season really.

If it's really just £12m then it's hard to imagine the likes of Spurs and Man Utd not getting involved with this?

Wan Bissaka is comically bad

Low oxygen counts in people with COVID or those suffering with long COVID?

God, the meltdown from the Scouse Mackems if that happens.

Levy absolutely raging

Probably Alli's first good game in two years. Can understand general apprehension tbh

Everything is just so predictable and pointless

0-3.
