Fantail Breeze

Ah right, great point tbf. His first ever season of PL football in a team destined for relegation under McClaren and the shit bastard only got 9 goals. May as well write him off for the rest of his career. Makes all those other goals he score count for none.

Absolutely this. Imagine getting your knickers in a twist about that

143 goals in 298 appearances across his entire club career. Don’t get many 1 in 2 strikers, especially when for a season and a half he was a bit-part player for us under Rafa. Include his international career and it’s even better. A proven goalscorer who has consistently scored goals across his career at different levels. One bad season in a minging Fulham team the exception rather than the norm.

Barca have a right fetish for buying shit players at the moment.

Really useful, appreciate the insight.

The game he got injured in vs Liverpool.

Bolton fan is peace almost certain to appear tonight.

It’s definitely the worst ever League One result, I can guarantee that.

Neil HAULED off after 50 minutes for being shite. £30m?

Shame they’ve got three really easy games coming up against teams in and around the relegation zone. Would be hilarious if they fell out of the playoffs altogether.

Impossible. @joeyttold me so.

What is the highest number of deals one club has done on deadline day?

It was reported by at least two journos (Hope and one of the Sky lot IIRC) that we didn’t even go in for them because of the wages.

And Bale and PEA are? We aren’t signing anyone ‘world class’. One for the reason I’ve already mentioned, secondly because they wouldn’t come with our position. Any signings would be in the Botman, Carlos, Bruno sort of area. Which is fantastic for us, obviously. I suspect we may end up trying again for Carlos, if anything.

Well, those two were available and we wouldn’t.

How are we going to sign one of those when we wouldn’t pay the wages for Coutinho or Digne because Howe doesn’t want to unsettle the squad?

Why did he turn us down? Was it the relegation fight?

Seems quite dead, tbf.

But it’s widely reported already the consortium have been in the market for a big name or big purchase. I’d feel fairly confident in predicting we’ll attempt something big. Doesn’t mean I have a clue. “If it all goes to plan”. A great get-out clause. And of course not falling in line attracts loads of nibbles.

The typical completely vague ITK statement, which any signing on Monday could be put forward as We’ve gone from being able to name the 11 players on the pitch to… “be prepared for a signing on Monday for the richest club in the world who are well known to be desperate to make signings”. ?

Why are they so determined to have the consortium removed if they are so insistent the takeover will be terrible for us?

Two jobs, two failures, but still touted for every top job going. Maybe he’ll be the new-style Bruce.

If Origi is available at £10m we’d be foolish to not be all over that.
