Burn dragged on a bit. He was effectively signed with a few days to go.

This is where I’m at. Isak was basically done by the time anyone got wind of a deal. There’s a week to go.

My biggest pet peeve is people spending the entire match with their heads buried in the Paddy Power app, only looking up to whinge. Does my absolute tits in.

He’d fit perfectly into our current squad tbf.

I can’t muster the energy to get wound up by this like. I don’t rate him particularly highly, but if the club do then I’m comfortable with it. At the end of the day he’s 21 and Howe’s already demonstrated he can get a tune out of a workhorse winger with questionable end product.

2024.

I thought we were mates.

Doesn’t appear to be able to bend his leg anymore. Career over unfortunately.

They’ve been using GrumpyOldMan.

Said it before, I’ll say it again - their Wor Flags conspiracy is the single funniest bit of post-takeover Mackem cope. It ticks absolutely every box.

Damn. A day too late.

Just flatten the Leppings Lane end and be done with it. Death trap.

I wonder if we might plug a couple of gaps with loans and keep our powder dry until the summer? We could be operating in a completely different league and attracting a different calibre of player if we manage CL qualification. Could be the savvy thing to do if there’s no deals for our first choices to be done.

£15m for a fringe player on a massive wage, the wrong side of 30 and with 18 months left on their deal is far too good to turn down. I hope he does well. Seemed like a great bloke. That transfer fee was like a millstone around his neck though. He always looked under pressure.

He’s on loan so couldn’t play.

Does anyone know how we were doing at this exact point last year?

Looks like he’s keeping weight off the ankle. Worrying.

I imagine we’re being just opportunistic and seeing what we can get out of Chelsea being fucking mental.

Been telt to up his game and do some fancy patterns like at the King Power so Maddison feels at home.

He’s all sweetness and light compared to a lot of people on here.

15 years today Liam Lawrence jipped me out of a couple of hundred quid

Now there’s a player I completely forgot about.

His movement is mental. Finds space so easily. It’s like defenders don’t even realise he’s on the pitch.

Probably the best I’ve seen at SJP this season.

Any injury to Bruno is obviously a negative, but could be a bit of a blessing by allowing us to refresh things. Teams are starting to come to SJP with a gameplan.
