Ha! I'd love to say you couldn't write it, but it writes its fxxking self.

They will be.

We're generally not very good with windows though.

Just glancing at the table, you might be onto something here!

Desmond save us!

Well that means the worst case scenario won't happen at least.

There we go.

Then think of it as a shit courtesy car while you get yours fixed.

Just think of the loanees not getting minutes as insurance players. They're here in case we get injuries and need the players. You don't bemoan not getting into a car crash because you paid a years insurance.

Jayden Joseph played his first game for Tranmere in what seems like an age in a 1-0 loss to Shrewsbury. Woyo came on on 58 minutes for Sassuolo in a 2-1 win over Cagliari, not conceding in his time on the pitch. Cartwright an unused sub in Falkirks 3-2 win over Motherwell.

Gotta keep 'em fresh for next season in League One.

This is the way though when it's decided a player is shit. Especially when it's a keeper. Every goal is blamed on that player. For me, he's not responsible for either goal, and anyone who has played the position knows that. The header is well placed and should be defended by a covering defender. There's nothing wrong with his position, he's in position for an effort to the near post. If he's covering where the ball ends up in this instance he's leaving a gaping hole for a much easier chance to his left. If that happens people would bemoan him being beaten at his near post. Ward was dog shit, but he did get a lot of blame for goals that weren't on him, being beaten in 1on1's or someone blasting it from 6 yards. People hone in on the ones they've decided aren't up to it and use any situation to double down. For a keeper, it's literally going to be any goal they concede. When Nelson came on we twice had situations when they colluded to fxxk up between them, but I'm not sure who that was on. He's got it in his mind to come out a fair way, and it's fxxked him a few times this season. He's lost any confidence he had coming out to claim crosses which was one of this things he was given praise for when he first came in last season. Whether that's his decision or a coaching one, again we don't know. But given that was a perceived strength of his, when you whittle them away either through his own decision or the coaching team, you're going to end up with a shell. And we're getting that.

Agreed. Fuxake Monga.

Which sounds great but you look at the 2 goals we scored today and they had nothing to do with us from a creative aspect. Patson managed to take advantage of some defensive errors from Preston. If they don't shit themselves we don't score a goal of our own making.

Sign the contract...

Too much time for Skipp there. The opportunity requires you to be instinctive and cos its alien for him hes thinking about what to do, and fxxks it. Refs right on the yellow. If its a straight red he has to blow immediately and Skipp doesnt get the chance.

And that's all she wrote...

Would have been nice if Daka had the confidence to try his luck lobbing the keeper there.
-
I dunno. They've all been pretty consistent this season.

3rd world?

As mentioned in the JJ transfer thread, "Bridge transfers" are not allowed. However, this isn't considered a bridge transfer. As he has been integrated into the side, via the loan, it isn't considered a bridge. If you buy a player and immediately sell them on with them never having been integrated into your side, then that's a bridge. Playing on loan prior mitigates that, as with Tammy Abraham going from Roma to Besiktas to Villa in January.

He's under contract until 2027. Great record in League 2 though. Late bloomer or just his level?

You can make arguments for either. Perez was a better player, but signing? There's two very different scenarios there. One player putting in frankly incredible numbers, albeit in an inferior league, with interest from other top European clubs and bought at a price that was pretty much unanimously seen as value at the time. On the face of it, it's a gamble, but not a massively expensive one, but the upsides meant potentially signing a player whose value increases quite drastically. We also needed a successor to Vardy. Perez on the other hand had been in England for years. Most people would have had a decent idea of his ceiling and he was most certainly not a £30mill player. So we were overpaying for the underwhelming (which has since become a trend). In a similar vein to other players we paid the literal height of his value (and then some), meaning we were onto a loss from the minute the signing took place. We also didn't need Perez. We didn't play a second striker which is his best position, so why not lump £30mill on a RW? Signing Perez was an expensive extravagance we couldn't really afford to do. He was the equivalent of a Borini or Aspas signing, but where at Liverpool they were players who were brought in that didn't really fit and weren't the required level, they also didn't take up the brunt of Liverpools transfer spend. I didn't mind Ayoze, he did his job and linked up well with Riccy when he was fit. He was kind of shoehorned in though. And you can look at that in two ways. On one hand you can say he wasn't played in his proper position often enough and so that doesn't make him a bad signing (moreover player) but on the other you could say that he shouldn't have been signed at all, especially for a small fortune, knowing he won't get to play his preferred position.

It's not a bridge transfer. We can buy him and immediately sell him.
