The messiah?! Don't be daft, I was referring to Longstaff and Shelvey

Like a rose between two turds in our midfield

Fruity!

Problem is the defence will likely still contain Lascelles - ideally we need 2 CBs so we don't have to see that plum in the starting 11 again

I dropped in to see who else had a new transfer thread and the first name I saw was Paul Gascoigne

Someone start a thread!!! Quick!

Top 6 team being a cunt because they're scared of us challenging them. Toys out the pram! Fuck em!

Fair enough, that might have been an over-reaction but i was hoping they might make another shit appointment. If we make some decent signings this week things might look more promising. If the playing staff of the two respective teams were to stay the same, and Watford got Woy, i would stand by my outlandish suggest that i think we'd drop

They have no problems creating or scoring goals. Their problem is conceding goals. The thing the Woy has always been adept at is making teams organised and difficult to play against. He's about as good an appointment as they could make in their current predicament.

If Roy gets the Watford job, I think we’re down tbh. He’d sort them right out and quickly.

We seem to be chucking £30m bids around all over the place so there's got to be a good chance

Is that the same as Billie big balls? Asking for a friend

Burnley v Watford next game week. A draw would be spot on. We can afford a Burnley win. We can’t afford a Watford one

Nope! He’s shit. Might as well have kept Carroll - he’s mile better in the air

This shit needs an independent investigation. It’s so blatant!

If we stay up the most miraculous thing about it won’t be the unlikely points accrual, it’ll be the fact we’ve done it despite every official in this league trying to send us down. Set of corrupt fucking cowards!

Come on lads, we don’t get pens

Fuck!

What happened to Joelinton?

This is normally when we concede - maybe we’re so shocked we’ve actually scored a goal that we lose our shit. Fucking heads on, tighten up and don’t let Clark anywhere near the fucking ball

Chris Wood is crap. End of

I really wanted him to succeed here but his decision making is league one level. No footballing nouse at all. Such a shame

“Needs to stay concentrated” cunts!

I agree with the majority of that but I still think it oversimplifies the transfer market in January. We will have a number of players we've put offers to who are waiting until the final week to see if they can get more/better. If we were riding high in the table it probably wouldn't be the case (or maybe it still would). Agents are whoring their clients around, trying to get the best salary/bonuses/opportunity for players and even if we agree a package with a player, we then have to negotiate a fee with the selling club, who might want a replacement in first. It's too easy to say 'we should've had agreements in place in December' - we weren't cut adrift at the bottom then. There have undoubtedly been mistakes - Emery, keeping Bruce on too long, possibly hiring Howe, not having a DOF in yet but i'd still rather have this lot in charge, go down, reset and come back up than have Ashley and his stooge cunts anywhere near us. The new owners will learn and it'll be a great ride. It's sad that the shine has been taken off this season by the league position and form but it's still more fun than the last 14 years. We've signed an England international FFS!

Why have we chosen to pay tens of millions for an uncapped, unproven, almost 30 year old CB when we could probably pick up half a dozen current PL defenders for that, or the best of the Championship. It doesn’t seem like a good business at all this one. If it was £10m, ok. But £30 odd?!
