Obviously the dream situation would be for us to get promoted and BBD to be with us in the prem, sign a new long term contract and become a true club Legend. Why any player with ambition would want to sign for flippin Fulham or even the shit show that is Everton with that divvy Lampard in charge, for any reason other than money.

Well suprise sufk8nprise 😄

Sorry but checking in here and initially seeing strong rumours of Dembele but then moments later seeing weve just signed another young loan player with very little first team experience has left me feeling fairly meh!! I think ive been very positive lately in general but if we end this window with mainly just another batch of loan players it strongly suggests to me that very little has changed on the player requirement side of the club. Please prove me wrong Broughton 🙏🙏

Why's that, Whartons missed more games so far this season so do you want to sack him off as well!?

Why so much interest in Callum Styles on here? I'll admit I've never seen him play but his career stats aren't particularly impressive and do we really want/need another 5'6 player? (unless he's absolutely class!) I just think we're missing someone more physically dominant in midfield... A real bastard of a player! Not really knocking Styles as a player though, could be a brilliant little player 🤷‍♀️

K'inelll!! Did Benjani actually play for us as well or have I just made that up to 😬

I preferrd his early work myself

🙄🙄🙄🙄 (not directed at anybody in particularly just the last few hundred posts in general)

I'm happy to have Hirst since it's not going to cost too much and we get to 'try before maybe buy' also wouldn't mind if we signed sykes aswell, but we'd still be missing a real goal scorer! Even if bbd stays I think last year was more of a purple patch/season for him, I think he's really more of a 15ish goal per season type

Your supposed to give the joke before the punchline.

miserable, underwhelming, mediocre, tactically & strategically inept, stroppy, sulky, bizare uses of substitutes and playing players absurdly out of position, arrogant, cliquey(expect a lot of his past colleagues/pals to turn up working their to do a poor job) Expect him to blame everyone (including your own fans) when something goes wrong. Never his fault. Transfer wise... Did a good job of bringing in some quality loan players from the prem (how much of that is down to him though i don't know) Overall pretty lame at signing and attracting established players and liked to pay over the odds for young players with potential that he may or may not play for 3 years before they may or may not come good(if theyvdo it's usually when they're in the final year of their contracts funnily) Honestly you could easily have hired so much better! Sorry.

Graham Fenton the one game wonder. But that brace against his own boyhood heroes Newcastle was classic

Didn't he sign at the same time as some other supoosed Scottish wonder kid (that also went on to do nothing in the game)

Sorry for quoting myself! But after all that waffling 🙄 also realised that Ooijer was actually with us for like 3 years!! (probably spent half that injured though)

Ditto😖

Syphilis or gonorrhoea 🤷‍♂️ If we're lucky we might only get crabs 🦀

😅 not sure you'd all class him as a 'forgotten player' but i defintely had to dig deep to remember his name. Definitely an ex player of ours that you dont hear much mention of though! Especially considering his high pedigree in the game when we signed him

Oh god what was his name😣 European International RB & occasional Cb spent a season(or a short loan spell) with us in the 00s i think (not salgado or babel) fairly big name, I'll kick myself when i rember!! Classy player but his legs had gone? 😣 Hope im not just imaging this or got my memories mixed up with a game of champ manager i was playing at the time😄

Enjoying this one, bit hard to follow at times i thought, but a really top class whodunnit! In a more unique setting than you normally see on these shows. Also got through the briliant "we own this city" last week, another top class brilliantly written and acted show. Jon Bernthal did an amazing job playing one of the most horrible characters around yet still kind of leaving you feeling sorry for him a bit!

Sign of how times of changed! But as a kid one reason Richard Brown stood out for me at the time was because he was the only black player in our squad and at that time it felt to me like you didn't see many black footballers playing outside of the city clubs (and living in Blackburn as a kid there where literally only a handful of black families living in the town, so felt a bit novel to me tbh)

Thanks, but im afraid i still wouldn't have recognised him sorry 🙈

Special mention also for Georios Donis, Came with high hopes, probably one of the fastest players in the game at the time (but only when running in a straight line down the right wing, but had no real crossing ability or end product 😅) Wasn't he nicknamed the Steam Train or something like that? First greek player to play in England and i think he was our first "bosman" signing as well. Not a bad player though, just not prem standard but think he had a respectable career in the lower leagues and as a manager.

I remember Richard Brown, mainly just because he was on the first squad poster i had on my bedroom wall... Along with fatty andy morrison and a few others. We had a few forgetable foreigners during Roy Hodgson time.. Sebastian Perez (paid a bit for him and he actually seemed good but hated England and made that very clear, think he went on to have a pretty respectable career in the game abroad) Anders Anderson (only played a few games but won a lot of caps for sweden) Martin Dahlin obviously (seriously top quality striker but we bought him when he had one foot in the knackers yard) Stephen Henchoz (he and Hendry were probably one of the best defensive pairings we've had in the Premier league era onwards sadly they only had one season together) Oumar konde (shit player but pretty good on champ manager🤷‍♂️) Patrick Valery (servicable rb but the most cliched sulky french man you could picture) Tore Pedersen (another one of Roys scandy signings that had a ton of international caps, but i don't even think he played a game for us) Oh and not a foreigner but Roy Hodgson spent about 500k to sign him as a very young kid with a reputation of havingvhuge potential as a rw, think he broke his leg not long after and I don't think he ever played a game for us sadly... Jimmy Corbet.

Ahh right, obviously i recognise the name and know he's a legend to those of his generation and was a great servant to the club. But sadly he's a bit before my time though really so I wouldn't have recognised a photo of him from adam (especially a photo of him as a kid before even his rovers days by the looks of it) Thanks though, nice bit of nostalgia and you really do learn something knew everyday dont ya, chers👍

Any Cunte?
