  1. Unfortunately, by hook or by crook, they keep paying our bills and that's enough for many fans.
  2. Let's hope they either hang on to him until we get new owners or he's sold for £16m to someone. Any money we make on him will just disappear and prop up the Venkys.
  3. We'd have beaten Spain if Southgate had the balls to play him over Mainoo.
  4. Nuisance factor being he bullies the CBs, holds the ball up, wins headers and brings others into play? He's clearly not a natural finisher, but if he was he wouldn't be here. Giles would get 15 assists playing with Gueye up top.
  5. If this is our final squad then yes we're going to struggle. We need a starting RW and at least another option up top. I'd like the Swiss lad in regardless of Travis staying - if Travis goes then we need 2 in CM, or a switch in formation.
  6. I watched their game yesterday - you'd be furious with your GK if you were a Sheffield United fan / coach. Was weak for 3 of their 4 goals. Bristol City spent over £12m+ on players last year. No idea about this year as there are lots of loans and undisclosed transfers. They've had steady reinvestment into that squad. Meanwhile ours has been starved of money (both on the wage bill and in transfer fees) for 3+ years.
  7. Rumour has it we've been after him for months and he's keen to come - as the season has now started I'd be amazed if that transfer gets done.
  8. As always, the legend of a player grows as soon as he leaves. Brittain is a good Championship RB, but he's not a worldie and he's not a game changer. Alebiosu rolled a ball across their 6 yard box and absolutely nobody attacked it. Brittain would have been similarly frustrated yesterday.
  9. Baynes is a miserable bastard at the best of times.
  10. Travis couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. He's always been a pound shop Savage.
  11. He took him off at half time because he was injured.
  12. The steadfast refusal to play Gueye from our fans astounds me. He makes things happen when he's on the pitch.
  13. More what I envisioned when we spoke about needing a winger than the Japanese lad. Seems quick and direct, which is what we lack.
  14. We'll struggle because we haven't invested in the squad in 3 years. Sir Alex Ferguson would have a job on his hands here.
  15. Watching Bristol v Sheff U and it's night and day - they both have way more than us up top.
  16. Because the only sub was M-Matthews and he's miles away from Championship standard at the moment.
  17. Big, gangly athlete. He'll be fine. Thought the other lad looked more useful there, mainly cos he's absolutely rapid.
  18. Desperately in need of a set piece taker. Especially when every fucker we've brought in is 6'+.
  19. The + channels are always "who can we pull off the home team's bench to commentate".
  20. The black hole at RW showed up big time there. Hedges was absolutely fucking awful. Need a new starter there before the next league game. Two new RBs and new CB didn't look out of place. DeNeve out in some nice crosses and Henriksson has trained once with us so I refuse to judge him yet. Wish Kargbo could last 90 mins - like Gueye he just makes things happen when he's on the pitch.
  21. Just resorted to rugby tackling him whenever he gets the ball.
  22. Ref has decided this game. Didn't do his job for their goal and didn't give us a stonewall pen. Been v even otherwise.
  23. He's trained once with the team, but yeah let's write him off.
