People keep saying the Brereton deal is a loan with a view to buy, but it seems like this is complete guesswork..... (Unless this has been widely reported, if it is I apologise, of course!)

5 followers? Big time....

Because before George Best drank himself to death as you delightfully put it, he was rather good at football...

A game we really need to be winning, this one. They’ve had a shocking start and we should be beating them really. Clement, like Garry Monk is one of those managers that generates a lot of hype but never really justifies it with results IMO.

Querying equalling our record transfer fee on a 19 year old with loads of potential isn’t ‘writing him off’, it’s just common sense really. Like any signing, Brereton would be a gamble, but it fits the mould of player that we need to sign in my view. If we got him, a striker and another wide player, I think we’d be set.

Stop being so negative....

Probably keeps getting gigs because a) His agent b) He gives a cracking interview/he’s a world champion bullshitter

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45205626 Wasnt sure where to put this, but basically, Chorley don’t want people drinking in Chorley before games at Wigan or Bolton. I can’t speak for Wigan as clearly, but that train station at Horwich Parkway is an absolute trek from the away pub at Bolton’s ground...

The Strokes- 80s Comedown Machine

I honestly don’t think there’s a fan base like ours when it comes to wanting old players back. Sentimental swines, us lot!

To add a bit of context to this, the gay lads he was protecting have been all over the media defending him today...

What makes you say that? I’m not having a go, I don’t do Twitter so wasn’t sure if there had been any recent rumours linking us with him is all....

It was poor for the first half an hour, but it certainly wasn't as bad as some of the performances we've seen in recent years under Coyle!

If you, or either of the two people that liked this post think the second part is true, you're all off your heads.

It was absolutely bang on for me today.

First half an hour, Millwall absolutely battered us. The last 5 minutes of the first half and the second half, we were much better. Graham missed two good chances and Mulgrew didn’t slot two free kicks, both unlike them. There were some things to be positive about, but there’s certainly room for improvement. Ultimately, we just needed to be more ruthless today.

Sorry, that came across very deadpan. Alcohol is required this evening....

Until 31st of August loanees and free transfers can be signed.

Helpful, thanks!

A continuation of the Transfers/Thursday deadline thread- who would you like us to bring in on loan? Who do you expect us to bring in on loan? Be good....

I wouldn't be so quick to claim the moral high ground, given that one of Burnley's songs celebrates the death of Jack Walker......

You said you expected we would bring in more than we ultimately have done, so if people are the same as that and they’re disappointed, why are you criticising them for a lack of faith in our manager? Logic on that....

It’s been disappointing so far, there’s obviously a chance to turn it around with loans and loans with an option to purchase, if that’s really a thing? Bottom line for me- we’ve had enough time to get deals sorted and we haven’t. That’s not hyperbole/overreaction/spitting my dummy out, just the cold hard facts.

I'll be honest, whilst we aren't the only club affected here, it isn't 'negative' to say that it's been a disappointing day if we fail to bring any permanent signings in. Particularly after we were 'expected' to make signings. Fair enough, this may have been the result of attention-seeking behaviour/dick-teasing ITKs, but knowing the deficiencies in the squad, we need more players!!
