I don't think you can ever rule out Chelsea either. With any transfer, it's probably best to just rule them in.

 

 

 

That would be brilliant to be fair.

We never recovered from the Liverpool home loss last season.

Todd Boehly likely views paying the sell-on clause to himself as an FFP workaround

If you looked at the results after I wouldn't say it was that. Me and my infinite wisdom would pinpoint it unravelling either when Isak got injured and went off at home to Dortmund or when Pope went off injured against Man Utd at home.

Keith hasn't made the claims Hope has made, causing pure conjecture across Twitter and sadly here, where you'd expect a slightly more grown up take?

He has, I just watched him say it on his YouTube channel today. 

 

Reiterating that the pool is small and it's very likely to be no alternatives because Howe doesn't want to buy for the sake of it.

We did actually recover and recovered really well. Nervy against Brentford at home but then saw off Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U at home, playing the latter two off the pitch. The 1-0 at home to Man U was one of the best displays of the season, and it got us up to fifth.  All this whilst playing some juggernaut CL matches with the same XI and not a bench to call upon. 

 

Pope's injury was the tipping point - the squad just was completely spent over Christmas.

He never really cut as deep as Hope is trying.

Keithis just really adding to what we all know, none of us can be sure, but Eddie Howe doesn't for one minute strike me as a guy who's stubborn, throws his toys out of the pram or put his foot down, they all (collaborating) desperately want this player for it to have gone to the wire, Hope is a cunt for trying to paint Howe as the problem if we get nobody, that's all I'm saying.

That's all well and good but there's literally no difference between what Hope's saying (Howe saying it's Gueye or no one) and what Downie's saying. No difference whatsoever

We went on some unbeaten run after Brighton. Looked our old selves for 10 games. 'Never recovered' is hardly an accurate take.

[Guest]

Aye, I never got that. We had a really good spell after those 3 losses, we just started picking up a ridiculous number of injuries over the following months that was unsustainable. I'm not having that that was down to Nunez scoring a couple of goals.

Off to Chelsea

He was virtually Celtic manager and walked away coz they wouldn’t give more staff. He definitely has a stubborn side

I think this is very clear that he is and I have always said that it will be his downfall.

Or replace Van Dijk for £40 m next summer. 

[ExiledGeordie]

Parrish is probably banking on a bidding war next summer and the money they’ll get from finishing higher up the league offsetting being in the final year of his contract.

I don’t think he is, I think he realises his team actually aren’t particularly good despite the hype and relegation would cost a whole lot more than the 20m MAX they lose next summer.

I get what you’re saying don’t get me wrong but Parish is basically the head honcho of the other 14, you know the gravy train riders? All they want to do is exist and increase the value of their equity. It’s why they nod through everything the super league 6 suggest.

And therefore probably why his stance against us has been so determined.

Which is fine, he’s entitled to do that and if anything it only exposes our own failings. If you’re being quoted daft money for a player you walk away; what you do not do is lowball offer and drag it out without a plan b. 

[Sima]

Man, fuck these 'big six' dickriders.

 

Bournemouth, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Brentford.  

 

I can't wait for the day when they get relegated back to their rightful positions and are replaced by the traditional bigger clubs who will actually show some ambition.
