How many players have we even got out on loan currently? It could actually be a useful role for us if it's an area we look to grow, not sure what makes Rhodes qualified for the role though like, suppose he will have reasonable contacts within the game.

Dawson would be pick of the bunch but could he serious be arsed dropping from over 40k a week to 10k for this crackpot regime? Only thing potentially in our favour is him being a northern chap, although not sure he still lives in the area. Unless Umtiti fancies it 😒

Not sure that's actually him replying is it....

Do you seriously think they have a clue what type of meat is being served at the STC? Come off it. Rudy is clearly pretty much being left to do as he pleases and the only person who is going to over-rule him (in theory) is Suhail 🤣. Its essentially like having a toddler babysitting a newborn.

Believe they also have to pay now or at least contribute. Decisions like that in my experience usually point towards a business going bust, but in our case its possibly just Rudy being a cunt.

More likely to get us branded ungrateful Blackburn fans after the club made 10 signings, which were gonna hear mentioned constantly by some twat like Clinton Morrison.

Craig Dawson?

Fuck me even Chaddy is gonna struggle spinning a positive on this window

The Pears thing is strange, despite the stick he gets in here he's a good championship keeper, in league 1 he'd easily be one of the best if he was prepared to drop.

Our academy output on keepers is really disappointing. Of course you could look towards Raya who's easily the best but even he improved massively after he moved to Arsenal rather than under Benson and team.

Any other teams transfers will be irrelevant now Liverpool have had a bid accepted for Isak and Sky are wanking themselves into a frenzy about it 🤣 Huge fee that for someone so injury prone but if he stays fit they're gonna be unstoppable, especially if they get Guehi too. Out of interest, can anyone remember the last deadline day where we had literally no incomings? Surely there will be something in the pipeline.... Someone will get Fofana on loan today and I'll look on enviously.

They do, I'm almost certain it needs doing by the end of the year too but I'll double check that

I'm a football nerd, I've worked today from home and had games on from 8am onwards 🙃 Inter Milan on now.

Yeah you could tell on his face he knew he'd dropped a bollock. Very poor game and they should be behind.

Starting here for Espanyol if anyone cares its on premier sports 2, 8 mins in. Gonna give it a watch.

To an extent I do agree, but, he can’t keep turning to ageing players, the likes of Batth and Weimann and expect the same output every season. Neither have had good reviews and they don’t rate Sanderson at all, he’s had horror reviews. Beck I really liked but he’s often injured, Liverpool know this, he is unlikely to make it there as a result. Their best signings IMO haven’t been the ones from us, Morris is a good un and BBD will do well I think, their main injured signing seems a bizarre odd risk.

There’s more to it than a bit of routine maintenance I believe. I think there’s some legal/fire safety related work required with regards to the stands. I can’t quite remember the deadline we have to complete the work but it’s expensive, well over a million to complete it. I’ll ask my contact for more detail when I see him but it’s not optional work I know that.

Fully agree on this, personally couldn’t give a shiny shite about Derby. A lad in one of the group chats I am in said it was a dilemma the other night on whether he wanted Burnley or Derby to lose I mean wtf? Burnley to lose every game they play at every level regardless of opponent, it’s that simple. Eustace has been well backed for what it’s worth, he really needs to achieve now or he will come under pressure. I do however believe a fair few of the players signed are average, I’d much prefer their current attacking options to ours though unless Gudjohnsen ends up like his old man.

Yep I called it not long ago 🤣

They'll have to hurry through a Gudjohnsen unveiling video today, maybe a few hilarious Rudy shops at Iceland type gags to appease the fans 😕

In fairness, how many new signings, across all the leagues have set the world on fire a few games in? Ekitike has done well, Grealish I guess, probably forgot a few but overall not many yet.....

Smit came on and has done absolutely fuck all. What an enjoyable watch though, great atmosphere and GAE pushing for the equaliser which they've just bagged

Smit is on the bench for GAE here, might flick it on second half if he comes in as this Leeds game is shite. Although it suggests nothing is happening as we'd never get him flown over on easyjet and signed now

Gueye has gone worse. I honestly think VI might have told him to stop dicking about as much and he's subsequently suffered as a result as he appears to have dipped in confidence. He's never been amazing but at the minute looks a complete lost cause.

I've been in the same boat for a while now. We'll never turn our backs on football but it's not the beautiful game it was, in my eyes anyway. I hate the prem I really do, but ultimately that's what we all need to strive for in this league. On today's game,I think the finish by Sergeant just summed it up. Great strike and one our attackers look unlikely to be able to execute! Showed some spirit in that second half but poor finishes, poor passes and poor officiating all contributed to 0 points. Ryo looks decent but I do worry he will have nobody to cross to like when he skipped past his man. A decent striker transforms this team, Norwich were no better but ultimately go home with 3 points....
