Gibson running the ship vs Suhail - like chalk and cheese. Good choice by Brittain.

The others towed the line anyway - must have a WhatsApp group with a dress code “cream chinos and no socks for the big interview lads”

Selling the leader of the rubber dinghy boys for almost £3m would be fine if we were a proper run club. Doing it with 1 hour left in the window, no ESC slots and nobody lined up just sums up the clowns in charge and how out of touch with football they really are

Yes, what you said was utter tosh, as not only was it factually incorrect, it also made no sense.

Very strange, you’ll be blaming the ref next.

Christ, imagine them giving €10m to JDT or Eustace over the last few windows when we’ve pulled in £35m+ (Wharton, Szmodics, Raya resale, Gallagher etc). We’re led by absolute morons

Irony being most in Ewood would aim their anger at Eustace, Travis and co. Rather than those sat just above Jack Walkers old seat.

Didn’t he also sign Brittain, Szmodics and Tronstad? (albeit you hate the latter) - granted he signed some tosh as well but at least a few hits

Probably would be more use to the squad than Wharton (eyes behind my fingers very time) or sick note Carter. But this is the whole point of loans to lower leagues - get the experience then make the step up (but he’ll probably leave on a free or knock down price instead with our lot)

Bristol City at home. Gueye has done it in one match and looked like a raffle ticket winner outside of that. Whereas Yuki has found the net a few times for us (which considering the dross behind him is pretty compelling)

Alebiosu has looked good too. In reality we need to replace Brittain, Travis, Dolan and Batth - I don’t think any other departures would/should get in our squad let alone our first 11 (Beck the exception but we replaced him last year). Question is whether Alebiosu, McLaughlin, Tavares, Baradji, Morishita are capable replacements for those 4 outgoings. A lot of that will depend on Baradji I guess, who we may not see for a while. Nice to see we’re investing in a striker too, where we were clearly short last season and again so far this year. Personally, it’s the manager I’m worried about. He has a pretty terrible record so far.

Exactly.

Looking past the set 4 grammar…we’ve only signed 1 French lad and there wasn’t a single French player in our whole squad today, so leave that shit out of it.

We’re certainly going to need Baradji, Morishita and new Striker to hit the ground running as we’ve got about 15 season goals in us in Kargbo, Hedges, Cantwell and Ohashi. Attacking options are dirt, nobody to put the ball in the net. Kargbo and Gueye are not footballers. Gambles that didn’t work, we need to move onto the next ones and stop wasting more games with them

“Inflation alone makes 15m now 16m” then add a load of examples from 10+ years ago 😂😂😂

Not sure how people are against this one really. Looks a solid deal at £2m (we got £1m for JRC and Buckley remember!) He scored 1 in 2 in the Danish league. Ipswich just spent £17.5m on a striker whose scored 1 in 4 in that league. Played in the Conference League, scored 9 goals for his country, who are hardly Brazil. Top scorer for Madrid youth team and made the first team squad for Champions League. His 5 goals last season for Gent came from only 16 starts (his minutes work out as 13 matches). If he banged in 20+ at Gent he’d be going for £50m+ to a Newcastle type (they’re paying about £5m a goal for this Woltemade lad).

Have I just seen Finn Azaz has been signed by Southampton for £15m, yes 15 million great british pounds, whilst Ipswich have signed a lad for £17.5m who has only played in the Danish league (worst record than Gudjohnsons lad there too). How much did we sell Adam Wharton for again?

This one interests me more than the African or Dutch lad. 6ft2, 23 years old, playing in the top division in the country (and won the league), came through Madrid ranks (how much of that is nepotism who knows, but looks like he flourished there to be fair). Either way, it certainly feels like a good gamble. Born in England too so imagine no issues with qualifying as a signing. 5 goals last season from 16 starts (and 12 off the bench). 13 in 27 the season before in the Danish top division. Also 9 goals for his country, including 1 against the Scots the other month.

Yes but I wouldn't call out the workplace, i'd call out the senior management.

I find this a bit distasteful really (to us fans and the ‘real’ part of the club). If you’ve been there as long as she has, she surely knows what we as fans are going through, and also other long serving members of staff. So instead of that bitter little line at the end, which is against everything at the club (including us fans), actually call out the people that are making you feel that way. But of course, nobody who has left the club under Venkys/Anderson/Pasha has ever had the spine to actually do that

Dack is the only one for me really since the end of the Big Sam era. He played the biggest part in us not rotting away in league 1 and was a joy to watch at times as well.

Isn't a Skoda brain exactly what you want? Practical, sensible, safe. value for money I'd say Ferrari feet and Skoda brain would make a great footballer 😁 (all tongue in cheek obviously)
