The XI start that start today start a week on Monday injuries permitting. Any business we might do will see additions on the bench. Imagine front ish 4 of Mavididi Reid Fatawu and Daka 😬

You’d be paying a salary of £3.5m I guess for him, so if they are covering the wages as suggested makes the spend for a year more like £4m, which feels decent value if he can perform. Moot point however as he’ll end up back in London

If that’s right smacks strongly of being used to get Zaha back to palace for more money than they originally offered. Meh

Bright spot must be that nobody in power at the club could walk past the absolutely dire need for at least 3 starting XI players through the midfield and forward areas after that game, friendly or not.

Reality is that given our speed at concluding transfers 9 of tonight’s starters could easily be starting the game v spurs. Eek.

Hoping he’s giving him enough time to seal his fate out of the reckoning. Seems a shame to not see Golding in from the start of a game early on to give him some confidence that he’s trusted

Hoping Cooper sees enough of the guy this evening to bin him off for good

Think him and winks could work well as a sitting 2 if Cooper can get Ndidi fully motivated and focused. The prem shambles year I get half a feeling he was looking for a move away and they all suffered under Brenda. Then it’s about getting a back up for them and a couple more decent attacking options.

You’d think so. We need numbers in centre mid they can swap him for pure profit.

Don’t think a number of them wanted to be there with Rodgers orchestrated self-destruction. Sure Cooper and his staff will have a good look pre season and work out whether he can do a job as a sitting midfielder alongside Winks. Redemption arc incoming

Absolutely this. So many of our fans are entitled beyond belief. We’ve been promoted without a pot to piss in and we’ve managed to get in a lad who’s been popular at Fulham and played loads of prem football on a free ahead of other prem teams, but that’s not good enough. Utterly bizarre

Hermansen next summer no doubt

The article on the website is an absolute ****ing shocker. Only a couple more sentences than Lewis Brunt got, written in the most neutral, meh tone of voice, almost feeling like an afterthought. **** the PR shitshow that we have to put up with from this godforsaken club.

Him and Nelson some partnership that would be in 12 months time. Stupid passing that one up if indeed we have.

Turned a new contract down I think

Ben Johnson a decent signing on a free for Ipswich, getting some business done early.

It’s like playing catchphrase. Say what you see… could be Chair could be C.(o’)HARE could be any player with eyes who sits down to sign their contract. Good clues.

Reckon it’s a double barrel name to replace KDH. Stool Side-Eyes incoming.

Thought Faes did ok tonight tbf

That wage bill continues to absolutely crucify us - and still got a fair few of the higher earners on the books

Would take chalobah on a perm and a midfielder on loan for sure

Polish lad Moder had a decent euros. Gerrrimin.

See what tomorrow brings and how serious Maresca is about signing him. Could well be a player that they’ll offer us given the need on Moder.

Was always going to be absolutely dire, and we’ll be feeling the effects for some time to come. A case study in how to piss away a competitive position in the prem from 2021-23.

Gonna have to box clever even if we’ve got some money to spend from July. Unfortunate as cashing in on KDH is it was always going to be pretty likely. Hopefully Glover hasn’t yet succumbed to the inertia surrounding the higher ups on the board and has got plenty of decent targets on lists.
