Who could have possibly foreseen going into a PL season with two strikers made out of Weetabix would become problematic.

What makes you say that? Falling out with Rafa? Plenty have done before who aren’t bad eggs.

What happened to that Ighalo link? He’d be a much better short term option than Woods. Is he called up for AFCON?

Immobile was saying he was approached by the consortium when the takeover first got announced, wasn’t he? Wonder if that could be possible, if there was actually any truth in it.

How long until Rich changes the thread title?

Every chance I will be after my scran

Word on the street is I might order from Tandoori Palace tonight. Unconfirmed.

I mean, Villa could have come in for him at any point Do you expect the journalists to predict the future? Digne clearly wanted Chelsea, they clearly don’t want him, so he’s decided to bite the bullet and go elsewhere. Mad if Villa are paying him £200k p/w. Especially considering how much they’ll be paying Coutinho.

Thought he was demanding European football?

Arteta hauling off Tavares after 30 minutes is brutal His management of PEA and Tavares is interesting.

Rondon, Perez and Bellamy were not 30+ years old and on the decline after a career of complete nothingness. West Brom fans spoke highly of Rondon and Perez was liked by the majority. He’s absolutely crap. For the cost we’d have to pay, there are literally hundreds of better options.

Burnley fans who watch him every week, and have done for years, disagree with you.

Said it earlier but I would have been disappointed under Ashley if we signed Chris Wood. It’s not being greedy, he’s absolutely shite.

This West Ham-Leeds game has been dull as fuck.

Nobody is asking for an apology, but acting like a spoilt brat probably shows you what he’s like when things aren’t going well. Things aren’t going well for us and we certainly don’t need that.

A player who doesn’t like having to play in a structured team and much prefers Bruce’s relaxed “do what you want” methods.

ASM also fucked straight off after Leicester, despite Howe asking him to go and applaud the away fans.

… which is also on TV.

Liverpool trying to out-embarrass us. 0-1 down.

This chap any good at scoring goals?

Is he tearfully waving to fans as he clears the ball?

I suspect they won’t let him go for anything less than £5m, which would be enough to get someone better in on a loan till the end of the season.

I might be wrong and it might be a bit unfair, but I expect names like Wood and Solanke are coming from Howe, which causes me some concern. We should be aiming much higher than that. Those are signings I’d be disappointed with if Ashley was still here.
