how are you getting to 38 points without scoring goals? sure as shit aren't gonna pull off 38 0-0s

I mean on that basis we might as well be in for a CB because Faes is awful and Vestegaard isn't that good when not on the ball, so we need competition for Coady/Okoli. We're not getting 5 or 6 deals over the line so the priorities have to be positions where we've got next to nothing - only Cannon fit as far as strikers, only Buonnoatte as far as creative midfielders

are our options a bit shit? yes, but we actually have options. we've got one creative CM in Buonnoatte who's made a single senior start. Much as people rate Alves, the kids total senior experience is a single sub cup appearance. it'd be nice to improve the options there but really the only position you wouldn't say that about is the wings and maybe in goal depending on how long Stolarcyk is unavailable

how on earth do you sky that?

hard to know if that's gonna be legit, like if the decision (he only wants sporting) was made a long time ago then surely we can't be so incompetent to have not spoken to his agent and been told that?

DM is not necessary, we've got 4 already. need a creative 8.

hell of a lot of dross in this division, signing a creative midfielder and a striker would go some way towards getting survival. just a shame the fringe is on so Rudkin is taking a week off to go watch some comedy

starting to crumble now

get in!

diaz

burns should be walking for that

Ipswich look well organized. they'll cause problems outside of the big six this year and are best placed of the newly promoted sides to stay up

given how this place was about ready to lynch Rodgers back in 22/23 while the general crowd was still backing him to the end I think you greatly overestimate how reflective this place is of match going fans

the question was when have we ever been the sort of team that takes players off sporting and hoffenheim, simple facts are that we used to, even Bournemouths deals this week makes the point that the Portuguese league is practically a feeder league to the prem. we're bucking that trend and the reason why is obvious. you can say "oh but we can't exert change" but in that case what good does positivity do? you can't have it both ways and claim happy clapping on forums helps the team but we can't exert change by pointing out the issues

I qualified that with semi for a reason. it was still more excusable (deadline day need and issues filling because of sporting being arses) than this stuff now

Remember taking Silva and Slimani off them? back when we were a semi well run club rather than the divisions whipping boys with a completely useless owner and DoF

"lost unmotivated players and added Soumare"... you can't be serious? he doesn't want to be here and either doesn't have the tactical nouse or the willingness to play any role that isn't the one he played for Lille

I would assume for it to be seen on the players on TV, and that they'd not be hugely bothered about Terry, 46, having their logo on him at the 5-a-side league on a Tuesday night

was 12 weeks and that was 5 weeks ago, he misses maybe 6 games and a u23 can easily fill that bench spot for the 3-4 games without iversen if we manage to move him on

at least there's one positive change this summer then. how's he gonna cope without his yearly villa castoff

not being rudderless is about 90% of the issue

lol, continuing to miss nothing being blocked by him then

it won't, they'll conduct their own review and find they're blameless again. until the fans actually seriously protest en masse against this nepo baby owner and his jumped up youth coach best mate, they'll go on as is

could we not just stick brad young on the bench for a few weeks until Stolarcyk is fit rather than signing yet another keeper? like, assume we've found someone stupid enough to want Ward, and can offload iversen, we've still got Mads as starter and another signing in goal just blocks Stolarcyk

Ricky did play up top for the Portugal youth teams, make it happen spaghetti coops
