BigUts

Came down from my office and Mrs. BigUts has made me a Tony special. I genuinely asked if he was due over...she just looked at me like the idiot that I am 😁

Dreaming of JPVH walking out at Ewood vs. Dingles. Literally got hearts in my eyes. As they say; catching feels for loan players is never a good idea

Don't get this. Surely then you also can't pass judgement on whether or not he is or is not worthy of your support (or whatever you'd like to call it), unless you compare it with your own experience of running a multi million pound football operation both pre and post a worldwide pandemic?

Sames.

11 - I would have gone for Giggs. As a kid he fascinated me and I remember seeing him for the first time at Ewood and being mesmerised.

Where did you see this @damo100 I can't seem to find it?

What's 4 then?

Got a lovely one coupled with a nice clicky Parker pen. Stands me in good stead with my siive like memory.

You have a sensational memory @glen9mullan. I go to meetings at work and can literally forget what was spoken about within 10 mins after it has finished!

And genuinely no sarcasm intended!!

You need to write a book

Not the lad who ended up at Sheff Utd?

WHam missing out on Lingard could see their interest re-emerge...

Is this a private party, or...

Not unless you're willing to spend a lot of money acquiring the stickers... 👀

I'd take him back. He was absolutely dreadful to begin with but the couple of games before his injury he really seemed to turn the corner and showed real glimpses of quality. Definitely allow us to send him back as part of the loan agreement this time though...!

Agreed. Gallagher frustrates the shit out of me which is why I find him so annoying. In certain games he's an absolute monster and changes the way we play with desire, pressing from the front and using his physique. I think it was Derby at home were he was brought on and he didn't give the whole backline a seconds thought; winning headers, flick ons, slide tackling, blocking, slamming in to centre halves when they cleared the ball. If he could engage 'beast mode' 90% of the time instead of 10% he could easily be one of the best forwards in this league.

Done!

Am I seeing almost universal agreement that this would be a decent signing?! Has the heat damaged the dimension we are living in?! Only really remember Brittain from his performance against us at Xmas but he seemed a good wing-back that day and did will going forwards. Who needs agent Benno when we've got agent @chaddyrovers!

House hunting in salubrious Skelmersdale

And I also I admire your optimism. I agree the first 11 should do OK, but get an injury, which will 100% happen, and we will be up the proverbial creek. Right-back in particular is a massive concern for me. Brown looked OK against Big Club but he is hugely unproven and if we start with JRC there we know how that ends...

Why does it have to be either/or? I want us to have signed 6 quality players 3 weeks ago. We are too easy to accept a shit-show and just shrug our shoulders.

It would be half believable if there were any senior people within the club with footballing knowledge.

Is that a euphemism?

Sounds like there could be some wiggling going on here. I bet a big-time agent has got his claws in, been in the lads ear and had a look at the contract situation. This obviously all some supposition on my behalf but this wouldn't be the first time this has happened in football.
