not great, but a lot brighter than what youve come out with. LW needs upgrading, unless odobert has a breakout season and turns into a man.
As we're all hoping he does.

I mean, I really try not to get upset about things so completely out of my control.

Sure its a bit annoying but I find the whole transfer stuff tiresome and a tool used by the media to make money and fill up the space left by there not being much football to actually talk about.

Ever summer. Every Jan, watching football fans working themselves up into a frenzy over how much money clubs are spending, how much wages are being spent.... etc etc etc.... its honestly a bit insane.

I enjoy the football side of the football. Im looking forward very very much to seeing us play next week and watching the team we have, whoever they are, progress under a new manager.
People get upset about things that are out of their control all the time; it's human nature. Last few years, for example, I've found myself enraged over Russia's 'Special Operation' in Ukraine; October 7th and the ongoing (and escalating) Israeli response; and pretty much anything Trump-related. Does that make me 'insane'?

In the great scheme of things, football seems unimportant. But it isn't; it's tribal, visceral... it has you leaping off of your seat and screaming in celebration, or tearing your hair out in despair... at events on the pitch that are entirely out of our control. If you can imagine enjoying the 'football side of football', is it really so hard to imagine others getting upset over the transfer side of football? There is, after all, a pretty clear connection between the two; you can broadly track the rise or fall of a team by the quality of their recent transfer activity.

For the past decade or so, no one, regardless of which team they support, would have been surprised to see us in the top 4. We might not always have been the most fancied to get top 4, but it would never have been a surprise. This season, I strongly suspect that no one, not even the most ardent amongst us here, is expecting us to finish in the top 4. After a shocking season and a half in the league, and a fortunate (I don't think it's unreasonable to categorise it this way) CL qualification, coupled with our size and stated ambition, I think it's reasonable to feel 'upset' by the way this transfer window has unfolded... because, unless there is a rapid and unexpected change over the next couple of weeks, we're going to be doing more hair-tearing than celebrating next season when the football side of football gets underway.

...........Oh; mate you didn't go there did you?





Eeeeesh; you did,
 
If Airfixx Airfixx is being attacked for rating the 2019 summer transfer window at the time, a lot of this forum need to put their hand up.

Airfixx hasn't "rated" a window in the same summer it took place the entire time he's been here.

Just troll cunts, being troll cunts.

.....But thx regardless.
 
Realistically we need 6 new first XI players to start with Vicario, VdV, Romero, Porro and Palhinha. All other current players are back up at best.
Amazing you mane 6 tbh. Lots of fans have backed the shite signings and transfer policy we have seen last 3 years. Like Werner twice I remember some saying good squad option. Then players like tel and addebert that they have potential and so on. Davies a good 6/10. Saw donley and Philips come on for stoke both looked reasonable and certainly no worse than what we have already.
