I’m not disagreeing with you. I was screaming when Brighton offloaded Pascal Gross for £7m at 33 years old.

I don’t dispute that, but am just saying it’s not just us who are having issues

The level of negativity is understandable imo, but I’m looking down the list of all PL clubs business and not many have recruited either particularly well or got many bodies through the door. Perhaps a lot of clubs are feeling the FFP and PSR pinch.

The level of financial mismanagement that has been ignored by pretty much everyone outside some parts of the fan base is one of the most surprising things. Though I suppose we are not a ‘big’ club and get less attention. What happened to Rudkin and Whelan’s review at the end of last season? Did they think a bit of success on the pitch and people would forget? So disrespectful to the fans. We are treated like fools. They need to go, and Top needs to drastically rethink his trust in these people or else he needs to sell up and let someone else have a go.

I haven’t been on for a few hours - has anything meaningful happened in that time?

All these excuses why we’ve not got deals over the line in recent times. No coincidence it has coincided with our financial woes - and it’s widely known. We’re toxic! It’s like Chernobyl FC approaching players in the mid to late 80s.

Yes all of this is very taxing

It’s almost like the DoF lacks competence! And perhaps not just in getting these deals over the line, but clearly deals in the recent past have snookered us. He’s probably flapping around on his excel spreadsheet trying to account for it all, and when he thinks he’s done it he releases he’s got the KP horse racing spreadsheet open instead.

We always seem to take an age to formally announce anyone, and I’m hoping it’s just that. But it is concerning.

That’s what I thought when I had to trawl back 6 pages to find the source of all this chatter - some no mark on twitter. Calm down everyone!

Is this a new player from the Bundesliga that we’ve been linked with or something?

Could be the club be announcing a series of Wilfred Owen poetry themed social media content? I don’t think we can rule it out.

There’s no evidence for it, but it’s a scientific fact.

fair point

People have questioned Zaha’s attitude, but I think he has something to prove. Hopefully we can channel that.

Sky saying we just need to agree personal terms. Is this likely to be an issue? I know PL sides can pay more, but hopefully he doesn’t think he can hold out for a side who won’t be fighting relegation.

Hopefully the West Ham Lingard and not the Forest Lingard.

Who doesn’t love ‘10 to 2’ birds?!

Never heard of him. But I’m desperate so I’ll take him

Haha let’s see… you’re right though, our academy has paid dividends in recent years which can’t be said for the first team recruitment strategy. Cooper has this reputation of working and improving young players - though so did the Northern Irish Tyrion Lannister…

The club seem to be featuring him on social media a lot. I doubt the person who runs the social media is directed on such matters, but I’d like to think he’s featuring because we’re going to see some of him this season.

For some reason when I see this guys name I can’t help but think of Eli Wallach

I’m after 2 for this. If you have any going let me know 👍

Sounds like a Spartan and ard as nail. Gerrim in!
