Simon Jones isn't exactly reliable though, I'd like to hear it from another source.

£40m LMAOOOOO way too good to be true unfortunately, fuck

 

[CerealMaterial]

Be a wankhorn.

Is Grealish at the top of your wankhorn list?

 

[Shadydan]

Absolutely.

But we'll get a replacement in - probably Gallagher.

Ideally you'd want a replacement for Bissouma.

Well it's more reliable than Lyall Thomas & Miguel Delaney reports that have been plastered in here

 

[dudu]

I don't believe it was one or the either, either.

I think Barcelona likely offered Fati out to a number of clubs, we were interested but probably weren't happy with the fact there was no obligation and they wanted us to pay 200k a week so walked away. I assume the Spanish reporters probably heard an English club were close and put 2 and 2 together and it turned out to be Brighton and not us.

But I don't believe if we got Fati in that it would have affected Johnson at all - Fati was a potential opportunistic grab. Johnson is an actual target.

Still, anything for a good meltdown eh.

I feel like half the people that slag off ITKs over here check SC all day too and get a tiny bit erect whenever they say something is happening only to be let down.

It's not about the individuals....... The whole B-team bollocks exposes everybody's weaknesses. The very weaknesses that prevent them from being regular first XI players, but not decent back-up players.

Click to shrink...

That's definitely a factor, but the number of unforced errors and basic lack of workrate is hard to attribute to just poor team chemistry.

for instance, Liverpool frequently put out joke lineups for this competition and still win games.

 

[Taricco's Tackle]

You won’t pay them off until you have to. It’s a shitty way to do business and, even then, you won’t pay them all off.
We’ll probably agree that you shouldn’t stop bringing better people in when you know that you’re prepared to cut some others. I am too lazy to do the maths on the squad so I don’t know how far over we are on non-HG. What’s the count?

Click to shrink...

I'm also too lazy. With ndombele he ain't ever gonna get a contract like that again so we aren't getting rid and he doesn't care about not playing.

Surely Dier, tanganga, reguilon etc must want to play. I'm shocked we can't even loan them or get them out on a free

Is Grealish at the top of your wankhorn list?

Click to shrink...

Yes.
Blakey actually thinks Grealish is no good.

 

[Mostly wrong]

Chelsea tying up their 95th deal of the summer while we're still umming and ahhing about Johnson. No CB links, this window is shit. Exactly like last summer, start with a flourish and end on a damp squib.

 

[Get in!]

Yeah, Lewis owns us out of the goodness of his insider trading heart. Definitely no profit related motives here at all, nope, nada.

Just loves footy the soulless, desecrated, scrotum resembling husk of a man.

Click to shrink...

Well, maybe you and your mates can get together and buy the club and run it properly, eh? Until then, you'll just have to deal with it until ENIC sells like the rest of us.

And these are literally your only two options.

 

[Deuterz]

Yeah but

You two are cute. Bouncing off each other.

 

[Richard Richard]

Reckon we will offer them Sanchez

So even when we’re absolutely desperate we’re still making paltry and quite possibly insulting bids.

I love our strategy, play a load of duds at Fulham - that’ll get Forest going. Pick an mix - choose any 3 of our shiete and we’ll throw £40m on top for Brennan

Well for a kick off he is Welsh

I'd take that.

Hopefully that finally gets us a winger and a CB.

 

[tommyboyspurs]

yay

Uhhhh yeah obviously, I'll just continue to 'deal wiv it' in my own way, which includes taking the piss mercilessly out of the cunts and abusing them at every turn because I find that much more satisfying than being subservient to them online.

Nobody is under any illusion that moaning/making jokes/pointing out how shite they are online will change anything.

 

[Richard Arlison]

PEH, Skipp or (in time) Bentancur, but yes I take your point......... And agree.

(In fairness to Dav... I don't think he was the "cause"..... Simply that without Biss running the show we just receeded back into being a shitty press-vulnerable mess.)

That's far more in line with what I suggested than what I replied to.... I just don't buy the fatalistic appraisal taken of last night that none of those players are capable back-ups.


To be brutally honest; it would take some epic scouting to uncover a 1-man-army CM like Biss who's keen to sit on our bench most weeks. However; no credible 3rd CB will have been a massive fail.

I'll say it for the umpteenth time.... No Europe is a fucking curse as far as acquiring the necessary squad depth is concerned.

Click to shrink...

Clubs are able to sign good players when they already have good players.

Even when they don’t have Europe.

Not having that excuse at all.

On Dav, we both saw how easy to kill our build up he makes it (same for PEH). We both saw the Fulham goal.

We have been watching this player for years. There’s no excuse for him to still be here and relied on.
